Abstract

The prevalent number of children in developing countries from suffering MAM is increasing daily and this has significant cost implications for their treatment. Therefore, the management of MAM should be a public health priority. Ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) play a fundamental role in the management protocol for severe acute malnutrition in children aged 6 to 59 months. In our study, we aim to enhance the value of ready-to-use foods prepared from local products, namely soya, millet, rice, maize and sugar (SOMRIS^10-16). The objective was to develop a formula meeting the recommended nutritional and microbiological requirements in order to use it as a substitute for reference products for the treatment of moderate acute malnutrition. It has allowed to develop a ready-to-use therapeutic food using the linear programming technique, then produced according to traditional methods. The nutritional and microbiological qualities have been determined and confirm that the formula based on soy, millet, rice, corn, and sugar (SOMRIS^10-16), meets the nutritional and microbiological needs recommended for children with moderate acute malnutrition. It will be subjected to the clinical trial processes in force in order to use it with complete peace of mind.
