Item Assessment of Food Intake of Rural Pregnant Women in Ifelodun Local Government area, Kwara State(Published by Home Economics Research Association of Nigeria., 2017-09) Adebisi, Winnifred O.,; Opaleke, Deborah O.&; Abdulkadir, Shakirat O.The study assessed the food intake of pregnant women in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State. Multistage sampling procedure was used to select 130 respondents from 650 population. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results showed that majority (68.5%) of the respondents were between age 20-29, Muslims (69.2%), with primary school education (43.8%), marketers (76.2%) with income between 4000-6000 naira and have at least two (2) children. Majority of the respondents (92.3%) agreed to consume more cereals and (82.3%) meat and (39.2%) less of vegetables, (30.0%) fruits and (29.2%) milk products, which are necessary during pregnancy. The study revealed that the major source of information was health center (98.5%) but information gotten was not utilized appropriately. The major constraints faced where Inadequate income (mean = 1.59), cost of food (mean =1.31) and pregnancy condition (mean =1.12).Item Determinant Factors Influencing Utilization of Nigerian Veritable Wax and Indigenous Woven Fabrics Among Homemakers in Southwest, Nigeria.

The aim of this study was to develop complementary food from composite flours of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) with orange flesh (OFSP), which is rich in beta carotene and germinated moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) seed which is rich in protein. Five composite flours were formulated from OFSP and germinated moringa seed flour in the proportions (%); 100:0, 95:5, 90:10, 85:15 and 80:20. The physical properties of the composite flours were evaluated and chemical analyses were carried out. Result of preliminary study showed that the beta carotene content of dehydrated OFSP paste obtained by mashing of cooked sweet potato slices (14.66 mg/100g) was lower than the flour of blanched, dried and milled OFSP chips (14.82 mg/100g). The OFSP flour was thus used in the preparation of five mixtures with different proportions of moringa seed flour. The carbohydrate, fat, protein, crude fibre and ash contents of OFSP-Moringa complementary blends were in range: 78.03% - 65.35%; 7.85% - 11.55%; 4.38% - 13.13%, 0.90% - 0.92% and 1.13% - 2.55%, respectively. The protein, fat and ash content of the research blends increased with increasing amounts of germinated moringa seed flour. A daily intake of 30g tested flour mixtures, regardless of composition, due to high value of Vitamin A (413-487.00 μg Retinol Activity Equivalents- RAE), can meet 100% of the recommended dietary allowance of vitamin A (400-500 μg RAE) for infants (6-12months). This study has shown the physical and chemical characteristics of five mixtures of sweet potato and moringa seeds flours as complementary blends. Compared to the control (Nigerian Nestle cerelac) they were showed favourably, especially blend of 80% OFSP and 20% germinated moringa seed flour and could therefore serve as a cheaper and healthier substitute for complementary feeding.
