Plant\u2010based complementary foods remain the key source of nutrients in addition to breast milk for infants in lower income countries. Cereal\u2010legume blends are superior in protein and energy densities compared with maize, millet or sorghum\u2010only porridge. However, unfortified cereal\u2010legume and cereal\u2010only porridges are low in vitamin A. A household\u2010level sweet potato\u2010based infant food, rich in vitamin A, has been developed to complement vitamin A supplementation initiatives in Sub\u2010Saharan Africa. A composite flour containing sweet potato, soybean, soybean oil and fishmeal was processed as complementary food by oven toasting (denoted oven\u2010toasted ComFa). The oven\u2010toasted ComFa and enriched Weanimix (processed from dehulled maize, dehulled soybean, groundnut and fishmeal) were assessed for suitability as complementary food based on the nutrient composition using specifications in the Codex Standard (CS) as a reference. The sweet potato\u2010based formulation and enriched Weanimix met the energy, protein, fructose and fat specifications but barely met the amino acid score as indicated in the CS. However, only the oven\u2010toasted ComFa met the calcium and almost half the vitamin A levels as specified in the CS. Oven\u2010toasted ComFa was slightly lower in energy, protein and fat by a difference not greater than 4.0% but was higher by more than 100% in fructose and vitamin A levels. Therefore, the sweet potato\u2010based complementary food is likely to support vitamin A supplementation initiatives in low\u2010income countries better than the cereal\u2010based formulation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1740-8709.2011.00343.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,7]],"date-time":"2011-12-07T00:50:38Z","timestamp":1323219038000},"page":"512-521","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["A
