Effect of Traditional Complementary Porridges Enriched with Cashew Kernel (Anacardium occidental) and Vegetable Cortea (Corchorus olitorius L.) on the Nutritional Protein Profile and Inflammatory Status of Moderately Acutely Malnourished Children in Côte d’Ivoire

This study aims to the effect of enrichment traditional porridge on nutritional and inflammatory protein profile Moderately Acutely Malnourished (MAM) aged 6 59 months with a view their rehabilitation. To achieve this, four groups 75 children were fed types porridge: non-enriched (BC1), enriched Anacardium occidentalis (BC2), Corchorus olitorius leaves (BC3) both occidental (BC4). Nutritional (Albumin, Transferrin, Prealbumin Ferritin) (C-reactive protein, Orosomucoid) proteins assayed in serum before D0 after 30 days (D30) consumption using Cobas C311 Hitachi from Roche diagnosis, France according method provided by manufacturer. In terms proteins, concentrations pre-albumin or transthyretin which below normal values between 0.11±0.01g/L (G1-BC1) 0.19±0.47g /L (G4-BC4) experienced significant increase at D30 who had consumed (G2-BC2: 0.21±0.04g/L; G3-BC3: 0.25±0.38g/L; G4-BC4: 0.24±0.38g/L) compared control group (G1-BC1: 0.13±0.03g/L). Similarly, ferritin levels 49.45±7.25g/L; G2- BC2: 46.80±26.89g/L; 35, 37±23.12g/L; 38.18±12.81 g/L) underwent but within range 82.58±15.41g /l; G2-BC2: 93.90±47.20g/L; 92.53±28.30g/L; 100.79±28.57g/L). Albumin transferrin remained range. As for reaction, orosomucoid D0, higher than value (2.87±0.45g/L), G2-BC2 (2. 19±0.30g/L) G3-BC3 (2.99±0.21g/L) drop 0.80±0.84 g/L; 0.74±0.09g/L; 0.71±0.38g/L. Concerning C-reactive its concentration limits despite decrease. prognosis index (PINI) 1 10 D30. Cashew almonds have improved status MAMs reduced risk infection. These porridges can therefore be recommended not only rehabilitation MAMs, also prevention child malnutrition.
