Abstract: Introduction: Appropriate complementary feeding is crucial for preventing malnutrition and its effects in the early years of life. Most of the feeding mixes available or developed, lack dietary diversity and fail to provide all nutrients to children. It is necessary to provide complementary foods that fill in the gaps between child’s daily nutritional needs and the amount gained from breastfeeding. Methods: Present study dealt with development of nutrient dense ready to cook (RTC) cereal mixes for children below 2 years. Market survey was conducted to gain information regarding locally available foods. Several combinations were worked upon using cereals, millets, pulses, fruits, vegetables, nuts and oilseeds for meeting nutrient requirements along with dietary diversity. Four mixes were finally developed and tested for nutrient composition, organoleptic attributes and shelf life. Since the requirements at 6-8 months, 9-12 months and 12-23 months differ therefore, separate recipes were developed for these groups. Results: Overall acceptability reported by semi trained panellists were between 6.66 and 6.83 for all the mixes. Nutrient composition analysis revealed that RTCs met more than 75% requirement for fibre and calcium and almost 100% for energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates and iron. Shelf-life studies were conducted at 1 month, 2.5 months and 3 months duration which revealed that acid value (<11mg NaOH/gm) and peroxide values (<4 mEq/1000gm) were well within acceptable limits. Manual and videos were developed on complementary feeding as well as on steps to prepare recipes using mixes. Present study clearly showed that important aspects of complementary feeding like adequacy and safety can be met cost effectively with these RTC cereal mixes. Conclusion: Thus, development of these innovative nutrient dense mixes on a large scale using more sustainable options can be the key to reducing malnutrition amongst these children.
