Article Synopsis
- This review talks about how to make flour and semolina from plantain pulp and how different methods can affect the quality of the flour.
- It mentions that most research has focused on common baked goods like bread and cakes, but not enough on traditional African dishes made with plantain flour.
- The study suggests that there should be more research on local cooking methods and how to improve them to help people use plantain more effectively and reduce waste.

Article Synopsis
- Inadequate complementary feeding practices contribute significantly to malnutrition in young children in developed countries, particularly due to low-quality homemade foods.
- The study aimed to create nutrient-rich complementary flours using local plant foods like pumpkin, soybean, and spinach, resulting in four blends (PSS1, PSS2, PSS3, PSS4).
- Two blends, PSS1 and PSS2, met FAO/WHO standards for various nutrients, demonstrated good functional properties, and were well-received for their taste and energy density in gruel form.
Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) of infants for the first six months of life is a global public health goal that is linked to the reduction of morbidity and mortality in infants, especially in low middle-income countries. In low middle-income countries like Cameroon, it is realistic that compliance with EBF can significantly reduce the burden of under five mortality rate. The purpose of this study was to assess adherence and determinants influencing the duration of exclusive breastfeeding in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

This comparative study reports the nutritional and toxicological characteristics of Mucuna pruriens flour and a protein-rich product developed from it. The protein-rich mucuna product (PRMP) was obtained by the three steps procedure: protein solubilization, heat-coagulation and sieving. Three weeks rats (n=6 per group) were fed for 28 days on standard protein-substituted rat feed with mucuna flour or PRMP.
