Abstract
A sweetpotato-based complementary food was developed in order to promote the utilization of orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) towards reduction of vitamin A deficiency in Ghana. Four blends of complementary flours made up of OFSP, millet and soybean were formulated based on the composition of the individual flours. These formulations were done to meet the nutrient requirement of babies (6 months to 3 years) in accordance with CAC requirements. Drum drying was used to process the flour blends into instant complementary foods. The most preferred formulation (50% OFSP, 15% millet and 35% soybean flours) determined through sensory evaluation was assessed for some nutrients and microbial safety. It had significantly (p < 0.05) higher protein (16.96%) and β-carotene (0.53 mg/100g) content than the control complementary foods. Ash and fat were comparable to that of a commercial complementary food. In addition, it had a significantly higher iron and potassium content compared with weanimix and a commercial complementary food (CCF). Yeast and mould was <3 log10 cfu/g, Total Plate Count, <5 log10 cfu/g, while Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were not present. This indicates the product is safe for consumption. This complementary food will support efforts to reduce vitamin A deficiency in Ghana while promoting OFSP for food and nutrient security.

摘要开发了一种基于甘薯的辅食，以促进橙肉甘薯（OFSP）在减少加纳维生素A缺乏方面的应用。根据单个面粉的组成配制四种由OFSP，小米和大豆组成的互补面粉混合物。根据CAC要求，完成这些配方以满足婴儿（6个月至3年）的营养需求。鼓式干燥用于将面粉混合物加工成即食辅食。通过感官评价确定的最优选配方（50％OFSP，15％小米和35％大豆粉）评估一些营养素和微生物安全性。与对照补充食品相比，它具有显着（p <0.05）更高的蛋白质（16.96％）和β-胡萝卜素（0.53mg / 100g）含量。灰分和脂肪与商业辅食相当。此外，与weanimix和商业补充食品（CCF）相比，它具有显着更高的铁和钾含量。酵母和霉菌<3log 10 cfu / g，总平板计数<5 log 10 cfu / g，而不存在大肠杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌。这表明该产品可安全食用。这种补充食品将支持减少加纳维生素A缺乏的努力，同时促进OFSP的食品和营养安全。
