Abstract
In Sudan children suffer from high infant mortality rate due to protein energy malnutrition (PEM). The formulation and processing of nutritious weaning and foods and therapeutic diets from local and readily available raw materials, as legumes can participate in solving the problem. In this study a therapeutic diet was formulated using wheat flour, sugar, milk powder, fenugreek legume seeds powder, and salt at the ratio of 40, 36, 7.2 and 0.8 g /100g respectively. The portion content of this diet was found to be 10.7%, fat 3.3% ash 1.6(Yt) and crude fibre 4.1%, with calculated energy value of 391 Kcal/100g. The diet showed acceptability, tolerance, good growth rate and weight increase for the treated groups of malnourished children (1-3 years old). In total, the results indicated that the formulated diet is ready for use as a weaning and therapeutic diet particularly for PEM.
