Consumption of nutritionally inadequate diets results in infant malnutrition. This study is aimed at formulating complementary foods from blend of orange-fleshed sweet potato, brown teff, and dark red kidney beans for infants aged 6-23 months. The Design-Expert 6.0.8 Software was used to formulate flour blends. Proximate, mineral, and antinutrient characterizations of flour blends were determined by using standard methods. The crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate, and energy contents of raw flour blends were varied from 4.90-14.25%, 1.63-1.99%, 67.10-76.29%, and 339.07-343.63 Kcal/100 g, respectively. The crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate, and energy contents of extruded blends were varied from 3.65-12.41%, 0.16-0.31%, 72.66-83.96%, and 343.07-356.74 Kcal/100 g, respectively. The crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate, and energy contents of drum-dried blends were varied from 4.45-14.08%, 1.21-1.70%, 69.30-80.45%, and 347.20-356.57 Kcal/100 g, respectively. The products meet the recommended daily intake of protein (5.2-10.9 g), carbohydrate (≥65 g), energy (202-894 Kcal), and potassium (60-160 mg) for infants. However, the products are in short of meeting some of the recommendations given by international standards regarding daily intake of fats and minerals. Therefore, it requires some enhancement by including studied amount of butter and other micronutrient dense foodstuffs.
食用营养不足的饮食会导致婴儿营养不良。本研究旨在为6至23个月大的婴儿调配由橙色肉甘薯、棕色画眉草和深红色芸豆混合而成的辅食。使用Design-Expert 6.0.8软件来调配面粉混合物。通过标准方法对面粉混合物进行近似分析、矿物质分析和抗营养成分分析。生面粉混合物的粗蛋白、粗脂肪、碳水化合物和能量含量分别在4.90 - 14.25%、1.63 - 1.99%、67.10 - 76.29%和339.07 - 343.63千卡/100克之间。挤压混合物的粗蛋白、粗脂肪、碳水化合物和能量含量分别在3.65 - 12.41%、0.16 - 0.31%、72.66 - 83.96%和343.07 - 356.74千卡/100克之间。滚筒干燥混合物的粗蛋白、粗脂肪、碳水化合物和能量含量分别在4.45 - 14.08%、1.21 - 1.70%、69.30 - 80.45%和347.20 - 356.57千卡/100克之间。这些产品符合婴儿每日蛋白质（5.2 - 10.9克）、碳水化合物（≥65克）、能量（202 - 894千卡）和钾（60 - 160毫克）的推荐摄入量。然而，这些产品在满足国际标准关于每日脂肪和矿物质摄入量的一些建议方面有所欠缺。因此，需要通过添加一定量的黄油和其他富含微量营养素的食品来进行一些改进。
