In such areas, caterpillars are a staple in adult diets and may be suitable for complementary feeding for infants and young children. We developed a cereal made from dried caterpillars and other locally available ingredients (ground corn, palm oil, sugar and salt), measured its macro\u2010 and micronutrient contents and evaluated for microbiologic contamination. Maternal and infant acceptability was evaluated among 20 mothers and their 8\u201310\u2010month\u2010old infants. Mothers were instructed in the preparation of the cereal and asked to evaluate the cereal in five domains using a Likert scale. Mothers fed their infants a 30\u2010g portion daily for 1 week. Infant acceptability was based on cereal consumption and the occurrence of adverse events. The caterpillar cereal contained 132\u2009kcal, 6.9\u2010g protein, 3.8\u2010mg iron and 3.8\u2010mg zinc per 30\u2009g and was free from microbiologic contamination. Mothers\u2019 median ratings for cereal characteristics were (5\u2009=\u2009like very much): overall impression\u2009=\u20094, taste\u2009=\u20095, smell\u2009=\u20094, texture\u2009=\u20094, colour\u2009=\u20095, and consistency\u2009=\u20094. All infants consumed more than 75% of the daily portions, with five infants consuming 100%. No serious adverse events were reported. We conclude that a cereal made from locally available caterpillars has appropriate macro\u2010 and micronutrient contents for complementary feeding, and is acceptable to mothers and infants in the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">DRC<\/jats:styled-content>.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/mcn.12037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,5]],"date-time":"2013-04-05T09:14:10Z","timestamp":1365153250000},"page":"214-220","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Caterpillar cereal as a potential complementary feeding product for infants and young children: nutritional content and acceptability"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Melissa","family":"Bauserman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatrics\/Neonatal\u2010Perinatal Medicine University of North Carolina  Chapel Hill North Carolina USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adrien","family":"Lokangaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kinshasa School of Public Health  Kinshasa The Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kule\u2010Koto","family":"Kodondi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pharmacy University of Kinshasa  Kinshasa The Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justin","family":"Gado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kinshasa School of Public Health  Kinshasa The Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anthony J.","family":"Viera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Family Medicine University of North Carolina  Chapel Hill North Carolina USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Margaret E.","family":"Bentley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SPH Nutrition University of North Carolina  Chapel Hill North Carolina USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cyril","family":"Engmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatrics\/Neonatal\u2010Perinatal Medicine University of North Carolina  Chapel Hill North Carolina USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antoinette","family":"Tshefu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kinshasa School of Public Health  Kinshasa The Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carl","family":"Bose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatrics\/Neonatal\u2010Perinatal Medicine University of North Carolina  Chapel Hill North Carolina USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1750-3841.2010.01909.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","first-page":"477","volume-title":"Official Methods of Analysis of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists","author":"AOAC (Association of Official Analytical Chemists)","year":"1984"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","unstructured":"BalingaM.
