  abstract = {{E}xtrusion cooking and amylase addition are two processing methods used for the preparation of high energy dense ({ED}) gruels of suitable consistency. {A} quantitative study of energy and nutrient intakes of 67 infants aged 6 to 10 months in rural areas in {V}ietnam was carried out to compare the effects of these processes used alone or in combination. {T}wice a day, for a period of four days each, infants successively ate four gruels prepared from different flours based on a blend of rice, sesame and soybean: an instant flour obtained by extrusion cooking (gruel {A}), a ready-to-cook flour obtained by extrusion cooking plus a-amylase addition (gruel {B}), a flour produced by milling crude rice, sesame and roasted soybean plus a-amylase addition (gruel {C}) and without amylase (control gruel {D}). {G}ruels {A}, {B} and {C} had a high {ED} of respectively 94, 122 and 124 kcal/100 g while the control gruel {D} had a low {ED} (59 kcal/100 g). {T}he intakes of the four gruels were inversely linked to their {ED}. {H}owever, despite the fact that gruels {B} and {C} had similar {ED}, larger intakes were obtained with gruel {B}, which was attributed to better acceptability. {T}he average energy intakes of high {ED} gruels {A}, {B} and {C}, respectively 112, 134 and 117 kcal/meal, were significantly higher than that of gruel {D} (81 kcal/meal). {O}f the three processing methods, the one combining extrusion cooking and amylase addition gave the best results in terms of gruel acceptability and energy intake.},
