  abstract = {{A}dding amylase to fortified blended foods can improve energy density, and increase child's energy and nutrient intake. {T}he efficacy of this strategy is unknown for the {W}orld {F}ood {P}rogramme's {S}uper {C}ereal {P}lus ({SC}+) and {S}uper {C}ereal ({SC}) blends. {T}he primary goal of this study was to investigate the increased energy intake from amylase-containing {SC}+ and {SC} compared to control porridges in {B}urkinabe children. {S}econdly, energy intake from amylase-containing porridges compared to {CERELAC}(({R})), {V}itazom, and ee{Z}ee{BAR} was studied. {T}hirdly, caregivers' (n=100) porridge acceptability was investigated. {T}he design was a randomized double-blind controlled cross-over trial studying the effect of amylase addition to {SC}+ and {SC} flours on porridge energy and nutrient intake in healthy {B}urkinabe children aged 12-23 (n=80) and 24-35months (n=40). {A}mylase added to porridges increased energy density from 0.68 to 1.16kcal/g for {SC}+ and from 0.66 to 1.03kcal/g for {SC} porridges. {A}mong children aged 12-23months, mean energy intake from all porridges with amylase (135-164kcal/meal) was significantly higher compared to control {SC}+ porridges (84-98kcal/meal; model-based average). {A}mong children aged 24-35months, mean energy intakes were also significantly higher from all porridges with amylase added (245-288kcal/meal) compared to control {SC} porridges (175-183kcal/meal). {A}cceptability of the porridges among caregivers was rated neutral to good, both for amylase-added and non-amylase-containing porridges. {T}hese findings suggest that, among 12-35-month-old, adding amylase to fortified blended foods significantly increased energy and consequently nutrient intake per meal by 67% for {SC}+ and 47% for {SC}. {M}oreover, amylase-containing porridges were well accepted by the caregivers.},
