Abstract

Introduction: The main component of whey is lactose, which has been widely studied for its nutritional and functional properties of some bioactive components, such as immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase and certain growth factors. Malanga is an important food in tropical and subtropical regions, it contains carbohydrates (59%) and proteins (25%), besides being very digestive, so it is considered an excellent food.

The objective of this study was to nutritionally and sensorially evaluate two functional products based on whey and malanga in malnourished children from two communities in Chiapas, Mexico.

Methods: Initially, both populations were evaluated by basic anthropometry and those suffering from malnutrition were identified. The infants who, according to the nutritional diagnosis, showed evidence of malnutrition were fed for three months. The level of liking was evaluated by means of a structured facial hedonic scale

Results: The level of acceptability was higher than 95% in both products. In the proximal chemical analysis, it was found that the pancake had a higher moisture content than the bun-type bread, 38 and 24%, respectively; while the rest of the nutrients were present in lower proportions, 3% ash, 6% fat, 12% protein, 21% fiber and 20% carbohydrates for the pancake, while the bun-type bread showed values of 1.3% ash, 8.2% fat, 16% protein, 24% fiber and 24.8% carbohydrates.

Conclusions: The results of the anthropometric evaluation after the intervention showed an improvement in the children's height and weight indicators, an effect probably due to the presence of nutrients from the whey and the malanga. An appreciable contribution of protein and fiber is evident in the two breads.
