Abstract

This study was carried out to  evaluate the chemical composition and physical properties of six weaning formulations (M1 to M 6)  containing  10 or 20g /100g of some legumes  as  cowpea, lentil and crushed ground bean when  added  as powder flour, 2.5% carrot, 2.5% peas, 5% sugar and 8.5% skim milk powder. These formulas were compared with Cerelac product. The results indicated that high protein contents  were found in  formulas  M2 and M6, ( 18.75%  , 18.09%), then M1 and M5, (17.21%, 16.99%) then M4 and M3 ( 15.68 % , 15.00%) respectively in compare with Cerelac (10.00% ) with a significant differences. The  high energy contents were found for M2 and M6 (376.08, 374.93 Kcal) and the low energy contents was noticed for  Cerelac with a significant differences. The  high fiber contents  were noticed in M 2 (1.59% ), M 1 (1.54%), then M6  (1.42% ) and M5  (1.34% ), then Cerelac   (1.33%) with a significant differences.  Also  ,the high ash  content  was  recorded for Cerelac 1.72% then  M 2 (1.71 %)  while the lower was  M3 ( 0.98%)  and   M4 ( 1.05 %) . It was also observed that bulk density values ranged from 5.56 g/ml to 6.78 g/ml where the highest was  M2 (6,78 g/ml ) while the lowest was Cerelac (5.56g/ml). Water absorption capacity showed a significant differences. The lowest viscosity was for  Cerelac (1050 cps) ,then  M3 (1600 cps) and M4 (1700cps ) with a significantly differences.. Formulas had  chemical composition and physical properties similar to the Cerelac and were a good potential for using of high-protein–energy weaning formulas. The formulas of M2(20% Cowpea) or M6(20% Crushed Ground Bean) could be recommended due to their higher protein , energy and essential amino acids contents than other formulas or Cerelac.
