摘要

Low birth weight babies are born primarily because of premature birth and intrauterine growth restriction. These babies are admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and are mostly formula fed. The baby’s tiny body is not as strong as a baby of normal birth weight or breast-fed. They may have difficulty eating, gaining weight, and fighting infection. A new infant weaning formulation consisting of a vegetable, rich in carbohydrate, a grain rich in protein, and a nut rich in fat is prepared, wherein sweet potato, black rice, and walnut are the respective ingredients. Each of the above ingredients specifically has a high nutritional profile, which could potentially help the infant in the age group of 6 to 12 months fight against the consequences of low birth weight, formula feed, and malnutrition. The above ingredients, along with milk, a natural sweetening agent, and probiotic powder, are obtained with four different drying techniques under different process variables of temperature, time, speed, and pressure. The micronutrient loss is compensated by the fortification of vitamin B complex and iron. Since all the ingredients are locally available and nutritionally gifted, the formulation will be a great success among the targets.
