Abstract

In a context of food insecurity, animal proteins, although considered a reference in terms of nutritional quality, remain inaccessible to many households, hence the use of vegetable proteins which represent an opportunity to meet needs. However, the latter are often less well balanced in essential amino acids than animal sources, which requires complementarity between sources. In order to promote local products of plant origin, a comparative study of two fortified foods was carried out to determine their vitamin A and E content and their amino acid profile. One binary obtained from millet flour enriched with 14.30% cashew kernels and the other ternary obtained from millet flour enriched with 5% cashew kernels and 11.80% tiger nut. The results of the vitamin A and E contents in the binary mixture were respectively 57.5 ± 0.5 mg/100g and 14.95 ± 0.106 mg/100g against respectively 71 ± 2.30 mg/100g and 19.5 ± 0.1 mg/100g in the ternary mixture. The vitamin contents of the ternary mixture were significantly higher (P ≤ 0.05) than those of the binary mixture. The amino acid profile indicates the presence of all eight essential amino acids in both samples. However, lysine and isoleucine with respectively contents of 3.61 ± 0.03 mg/g and 4.2 ± 0.004 mg/g, in the binary mixture against 4.02 ± 0.036 mg/g and 3.74 ± 0.05 mg/g, in the ternary mixture was the most representative. In sum, fortification improved the nutritional value of composite flours. This could therefore be an alternative to the problem of malnutrition and a solution in households where access to animal products remains a problem.
