Prodotti da forno con ingredienti reperibili in Paesi in via di sviluppo

The growing lacking of raw materials and of water resources highlights the need to find alternative sources to supply global food needs, both in developed and in developed. If the search for new resources would start from developing countries, a double objective would be reached: to find resources on a global level and to promote the development of local populations. The study, which aims to produce a baked product using ingredients found in Burundi (flour, cereals and legumes, papaya and avocado fruit, avocado oil), suggests that, in addition to sensory pleasantness, a nutritional composition can also be reached according to UN guidelines for the realization of biscuits for emergency food situations. Furthermore, the results obtained from a preliminary approach to fortify some flour, confirm the success of this technique in the integration of mineral components.
