Abstract

Any Weaning food offered to infants should be rich in micronutrients and high in protein quality. The study assessed the Mineral, Vitamin A and C, Amino acids and Antinutritional profile of weaning food blends from millet flour (MLF), soya beans flour (SBF) and moringa oleifera leaf flour (MLF) in the ratio FMF:SBF:MLF- sample C (60:35:5), sample D (60:30:10), sample E (60:25:5), sample F (60:20:20) sample A (100 % FMF) was used as control, sample B (FMF(60):SBF(40). All analyses were done using standard methods. The Mineral, Vitamin A, C and Amino acid Tryptophan contents of the weaning food formulations significantly (p
