In order to address the needs of infants with cow's milk allergy, two formulations of a semi-solid, dairy-free, ready-to-use complementary food were developed. These formulations were created in an attempt to fulfill BPOM regulations and infant recommended dietary allowance values, differing only in their peanut oil to palm rations: formula 1 (30:177) and formula 2 (50:157). Both Formulae were …
This study aimed to develop a lipid-based paste form of Ready-to-Use Complementary Food (RUCF) using locally available ingredients, while investigating the physicochemical changes during 21 days of storage. Three formulations were proposed and assessed using B one touch viscometer for viscosity, CS410 handheld colorimeter for color, pawkit water activity analyzer for water activity, and e…
The options for commercially available ready-to-use complementary foods (RUCF) is currently limited to dried products which are not suitable for younger infants. In addition, 2 – 7.5% of Indonesian infants are estimated to have cow milk protein allergy (CMPA) and are at risk of deficiencies in protein, fat, and micronutrients by avoiding the highly-prevalent dairy powder. This study aims to d…
Infancy and early childhood are the important stages in life where growth and development occur rapidly, whether physical, cognitive, or emotional. Complementary food is required to meet the nutritional needs of infants and young children. Commercial complementary food (CCF) has grown in popularity in numerous countries due to its convenience in preparation and storage, as well as massive m…

Indonesia is considered as a promising market for packaged complementary food products with its high birth rate of 18.1 and a population of more than 32 millions of children. However, the prevalence of stunting and wasting in Indonesia remained high. This highlights the importance of developing high-quality complementary food with adequate and complete nutrition. Even so, most new products …
