OTHER

Normal sorghum porridge, algal starch

Normal sorghum porridge with 13C-labeled algal starch was fed, breath tested, as the first arm of an alpha-amylase sufficiency assessment in healthy and moderately malnourished children.

OTHER

Normal sorghum porridge, algal dextrins

Normal sorghum porridge with 13C-labeled starch limit dextrins was fed, breath tested, as the second arm of an alpha-amylase sufficiency assessment in healthy and moderately malnourished children.

OTHER

Normal sorghum porridge, labeled flour

Normal sorghum porridge with a portion of 13C-labeled sorghum flour was fed, breath tested, for starch digestibility assessment in healthy and moderately malnourished children.

OTHER

Modified sorghum porridge, labeled flour

Modified sorghum porridge with shear stirring to reduce viscosity with a portion of 13C-labeled sorghum flour was fed, breath tested, for starch digestibility assessment in healthy and moderately malnourished children.

OTHER

Thinned sorghum porridge, labeled flour

Thinned sorghum porridge treated with an alpha-amylase liquifying enzyme with a portion of 13C-labeled sorghum flour was fed, breath tested, for starch digestibility assessment in healthy and moderately malnourished children.

OTHER

Modified sorghum porridge, octanoic acid

Modified sorghum porridge with shear stirring to reduce viscosity with addition of 13C-labeled octanoic acid was fed, breath tested, for gastric emptying assessment in healthy and moderately malnourished children.
