contents recommended for complementary food (Dewey &<br />

Brown, 2003). On the basis of dry matter contents, the<br />

proportions of millet and groundnut were 76/24.<br />

2.3. Description of the processing methods<br />

Millet–groundnut (MG) blends were used to prepare two<br />

types of gruel (Fig. 1): the first made with the traditional<br />

processing method used to prepare ben-saalga (MG-T).<br />

The second type of gruel was prepared according to the<br />

CMI method (MG-CMI) described by Tou et al. (2007).<br />

The CMI method differs from the traditional one by the<br />

additional steps of precooking, malt addition and backslop<br />

inoculation. For the latter, a fraction of traditional<br />

fermented paste was added to the paste after precooking,<br />

when it had cooled to around 35 1C.<br />
