摘要：An infantile flour was prepared from mixed flours of Taro ( Colocasia esculenta (L) Schott), leguminous plant ( Cajanus cajan ) and maize ( Zea maïs ) was prepared. This flour contained 70% total carbohydrates, 15.7% proteins and 4.6% lipids. It also characterized by some essential amino acid s such as histidine, threonine, valine, lysine, leucine and phenylalanine. It had some fatty acid s ( linolein acid, oleic acid) and some essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, chloride, sodium, manganese in variable concentrations. These minerals and fatty acid s are necessary for children growth. The energy density of mush prepared from this mixed flour was very high (about 119 kcal/100 ml). This weaning mush had a fluid consistency, the important rheological characteristic for young children energy intake.
