The problem
Intervention: Malting (sprouting/processing) of iron-rich bean flour combined with broken rice at different ratios to create complementary food formulations.
Who it was tested with: Complementary food formulations intended for children aged 6-24 months; sensory evaluation conducted with 124 mothers of children in this age range..
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
[tier lowered: the text shows no comparison-group design] [the quoted passage was not found in the text] "Nine formulations (four malted, four unmalted, and one control) were analyzed... Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA at p ≤ 0.05." This shows a controlled comparative laboratory design with multiple formulations and statistical testing, but it is a food science/acceptability study rather than a health outcome trial in children.
The study assessed food composition and taste acceptability only; it did not measure actual health, growth, or micronutrient status outcomes in children after consumption.
