The nutritional quality of extruded unmalted or malted maize fortified with cowpea as complementary food was assessed based on its proximate analysis, amino acid composition and results from rat feeding with the blends. Results indicated a slight decrease and increase in protein content due to ma...

Diets in populations of most developing countries are often deficient in protein, carbohydrates, and fat, leading to protein‐energy malnutrition (PEM). Diet‐based strategies are the most promising approach for a sustainable control of PEM. This study aimed to investigate the effects of soy flour ...

It was envisaged that the inclusion of treated distiller ’ s spent grain ( DSG ) to
yam fl our might increase its nutritional value, with the aim of reducing nutritional
diseases in communities consuming yam as a staple. Hence, yam fl our
was fortifi ed with DSG at 5–35%. The effects of this fort...

Hybrids adapted to West and Central Africa were developed by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in the 1980s, which enable the establishment of several private seed companies in Nigeria. Despite the superior agronomic performance of hybrids, farmers still prefer their trad...

Though cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a staple for many poor people in Africa, it has major nutritional disadvantages. The tuberous root has very low levels of essential nutrients. Consequently, malnutrition is widespread among the people who depend on as a staple in their diet. Breeding c...
