Abstract The study assessed changes in nutritional content of some commonly consumed traditional vegetables subjected to postharvest processes. Amaranth ( Amaranthus cruentus L.), black nightshade Solanum scabrum Mill.) and jute mallow Corchorus olitorius L.) leaves used as were blanching, boiling drying. proximate composition β‐carotene fresh processed determined. Amaranth, had 25.21%, 39.74% 29.18% protein, respectively. levels 16.40, 25.25 27.74 mg/100 g for amaranth leaves, ash was...

Abstract Resilient to the effects of climate change, Mung bean is a seed legume rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds. The objective study was determine impact cooking processes on its nutritional quality. seeds Beng-tigré variety are obtained from Belwet, national sponsor. Plain (MBN) germinated for 24 48 h; roasted 15 30 min; soaked 6 12 dehulled after h soaking boiled 60 min. methodology consisted assessing macronutrients, minerals biomolecules MBN; then characterizing flours...

The aim of the study was to evaluate acceptability composite breads based on local cereal (millet and sorghum) formulations. Bread preparations 50% wheat flour were made in presence exopolysaccharide (Eps) production stimulated by a strain Weissella confusa A16 fermented dough. Seven formulations done two baking sets submitted sensory evaluations which consisted tests profile, hedonic analysis ranking. Results showed that Eps improved with flours. white color crumb 100% most appreciated...

This work reviewed the maternal and child folate status strategies used to tackle health disorders related deficiencies in Africa. Published surveys conducted between 2005 2018 were considered. Criteria for establishing deficiency are variable (folate intake or serum concentrations). Folate frequent among 11 countries with available data, prevalence of adequacy was very low coverage fight is limited. To overcome deficiencies, fortification staple foods an option, but finding ways make new...

Chemical changes during the fermentation of baobab seeds for production Maari, a food condiment used in West Africa, were studied. Results showed wide variety free amino acids including essential unfermented seeds. Fermentation led to an increase concentration total from 16.03 nmol/mg 113.24 after 60 hours followed by decrease thereafter. Fluctuations concentrations each compound observed period. Differences also final products different sites with Gorgadji sample showing highest content...

Degue was a traditional fermented food (pearl millet dough) which consumed in Burkina Faso. In this work, the processing of pearl into degue investigated 18 production units. This study followed Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso. The main steps diagram were dehulling, winnowing, washing, drying, milling, sieving, kneading, cooking, pounding, shaping fermentation. Before fermentation, crude protein, fat, ash, starch carbohydrates content respectively 5.43; 3.00; 1.13; 33.37 41.81 %. After 72...

Summary Two non‐GMO biofortified and one traditional pearl millet varieties were compared in abrasive decortication studies to evaluate their potential for increasing iron zinc content. The phytate‐to‐mineral ratios used estimate mineral bioavailability. Iron contents the Tabi GB8735 two threefold higher than variety. content reached 7.2 6.7 mg per 100 g DM varieties, which corresponds target values of biofortification programs. Zinc was, respectively, 5.6 4.1 varieties. Because presence...

Nutritionally, contaminant iron in foods may lead to overestimation of the satisfaction requirement while deficiencies remain a widespread health problem. Iron contamination was measured millet and sorghum grains after decortication in-field milling using different equipments Burkina Faso. Total content did not change significantly decortication, probably due balance between losses resulting from removal iron-rich peripheral parts contamination. contents increased mechanical irrespective...

Au Burkina Faso les legumineuses constituent une source importante de nutriments pour populations. La presente etude a eu objectif determiner la valeur nutritionnelle et place des dans le regime alimentaire menages Ouagadougou, Kaya, Lebda Nobere. methodologie consiste en enquete consommation aupres 325 teneurs macronutriments mineraux fer, zinc calcium six (6) varietes legumineuses. Il resulte que principales consommees sont l’arachide ( Arachis hypogea L.), niebe Vigna unguiculata voandzou...

Chronic non-communicable diseases are becoming more and recurrent require the addition of functional foods in our eating habits. Legumes due to their composition biomolecules could meet this need. Much used Chinese medicine, mung bean arouses interest Burkina Faso. The objective study is perform phytochemical profiling evaluate certain biological properties its natural or germinated state. Qualitative screening was carried out by precipitation differential staining tests. antimicrobial...

Biofortification is among the food-based strategies, recently implemented and still in development, to fight micronutrient deficiencies. Three cereal-based traditional dishes of Sub-Saharan Africa (tô paste, pancakes gruel) prepared from one local (Gampela), or two biofortified (GB 8735 Tabi) varieties millet were assessed for their (i) acceptability by consumers, (ii) iron zinc absorption predicted phytate-to-mineral molar ratios (iii) contribution requirements young children. Tasters...

L'enrichissement des céréales par d'autres groupes alimentaires a reçu une attention considérable ces dernières années. L'objectif de l'étude est déterminer le potentiel nutritionnel aliments locaux à l'enrichissement. La formule témoin FT composée farines du maïs (Wari) et sorgho (Kapelga). Les deux autres formules sont base la farine enrichie 10% respectivement soja (FS) poudre feuilles moringa (FM). Une appréciation culinaire nutritionnelle ainsi que tests classement ont été réalisés....

In Africa, nearly 46% of all mortality will be attributed to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by 2030. While the cost inaction far exceeds action against NCDs, global funding for prevention and control NCDs is minimal. The objective this was explore Ministry Health budget allocations from 2010 2020 as well effect terrorism crisis on these allocations. methodology based tracking tool developed Scaling Up Nutrition Movement. Twenty-nine lines related and/or have been identified. About 29.9...

Traditional African snacks are very little known to the people. The objective of this study is present importance consumption, process and nutritional value a snack traditionally consumed in Burkina Faso. Consumption surveys were conducted among 250 adults rural urban areas Lebda Kaya north center area Production follow ups carried out at producers Lebda. Carbohydrates, lipids proteins, iron zinc contents determined. <i>Mugdugu</i> well populations, 97% know it have used least once. Nearly...
