Abstract:This study investigated the vitamin content, mineral composition, and functional properties of co-fermented maize/carrot/pigeon pea (MACP) and co-fermented millet/sweet potato/pigeon pea (MISP) as infant complementary foods using standard methods. The vitamin content and mineral composition as well as functional properties were determined using standard procedures. From the results, vitamin contents of MACP are: Vitamin A (52.63-6.08μg) vitamin (B1,(0.23-0.10), B2, (0.12-0.09), B3, (1.45-1.25μg) B5,( 0.41-0.12… Show more
