Formulation of a weaning food based on sesame flour and corn flour for children aged 6 to 18 months
The objective of this study was to formulate mixed flours based on corn and sesame for children aged 6 to 18 months. Thus, 1630 g of corn flour and 524.93 g of sesame were purchased from the Matoto market. Thus, three formulations were manufactured: i) F10 (90% corn and 10% sesame), F20 (80% corn and 20% sesame), and F30 (70% corn and 30% sesame). The moisture, ash, protein, fat and carbohydrates contents were determined according to AOAC standards for single and mixed flours.
