Abstract:
Background: Complementary feeding is among the main
causes of malnutrition worldwide and was shown to be an
effective child survival strategy ranked among the top lifesaving
interventions for children under 5 years. WHO and
UNICEF underline the use of available food locally produced
for children less than 2 years as a significant strategy to ensure
the optimal Complementary feeding. Nevertheless, there is
limited knowledge on adequacy of additional foods locally
produced, like MASO31, in DRC.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional value
of MASO31 content according to the complementary feeding
WHO recommendations.
Method: Two samples of Maize-Soya blend (MASO 31)
formula were taken away of two different preparations, from
Tanganyika Province, for biochemical analysis. Energy, and
nutrients (protein, Fe, Ca, P, Zn,) were analyzed in the Research
and Agro alimentary Analysis Canter (CRAA) of Lubumbashi
in June 2014. Conversion factors, KJELDHAL, Soxhlet, non
azoted extractive and spectrometry of plasma inductive
coupling (PIC) emission were the biochemical methods used.
Comparative analysis of MASO 31 content was done using the
Complementary feeding WHO Recommendations like gold
standard.
Results: MASO31 content was over complementary feeding
WHO Recommendations in daily energy need and in term
of minimum meal frequency. But calcium and phosphorus
needed some improvements.
Conclusion: MASO31 formula may be recommended in
complementary feeding in DRC but calcium and phosphorus
may be enriched. Controlled Randomized Trials is needed to
test the short- and long- term effects of this recipe on the
nutritional status of children 6-23 months old.
