Popis: Malnutrition is one of the most serious problems throughout the world and children are especially vulnerable. This research aimed at designing a fermented sorghum porridge food-fortified with moringa leaf powder and baobab fruit pulp and assessing mineral bio-accessibility. The food fortification rate was defined according to local population practices and literature. In-Vitro Solubility of minerals was assessed to simulate gastro-intestinal digestion. Acceptability test of the fortified fermented sorghum porridge was assessed both with children (using the facial expression) and their mothers (using sensory attributes). Results (expressed in dry weight) indicate that food fortification increases significantly (p
