Therapeutic foods for the treatment of malnutrition in children under age 5 years are mostly imported from developed countries by developing countries like Ghana. This comes with huge cost and puts pressure on health authorities when these supplies are limited. The objective of this study was therefore to develop and evaluate therapeutic food made from locally agricultural produce (banana, coconut water, soybean, sugar and vegetable oil) for the management of severely acute malnutrition in children under age 5 years. The proximate, mineral and microbial analyses were conducted on the developed product to ensure the standard falls within the requirement of WHO Protocol for the treatment of malnutrition in children. Sensory analysis was also done on the product using children under five years as the target group. The chemical analysis of product revealed energy and protein content of 95.96 kcal and 1.61 g per 100 g respectively, and percentage concentration of Calcium (0.74), Magnesium (1.09), Potassium (4.79), Sodium (0.17), Phosphorus (0.28), Iron (0.0080), Copper (0.0064), Manganese (0.0089) and Zinc (0.0174). The microbiological examination indicated aerobic plate count (20 cfu/mL), yeast count (8.5 cfu/mL), coliform count (3 cfu/mL) and zero count for both mould and E. Coli. This shows that, the developed product has the potential of treating malnutrition effectively in children under five years old.

Corchorus olitorius (Jew’s mallow), is one of the African indigenous leafy vegetables increasingly getting attention as a possible contributor of both micronutrients and bioactive compounds including proteins, lipids, fiber and vitamin C to human nutrition. Leaves of Corchorus olitorius have been found to have high level of phytochemicals: flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins, and saponins that possess strong radical scavenging activity and antioxidant power. In the arid and semi-arid areas of the world, drought is the main limiting factor affecting plant productivity and influences almost all aspects of plant biology. Water stress deficit is known to cause oxidative stress condition that has generally been reported to elevate phenolic antioxidants in various crops including Jew’s mallow. On the other hand, fertilization is crucial for crop management and high yield, it also affects nutritional value of the food plants. Nitrogen (N) fertilization affects health and nutritional value, including mineral content, fatty acid profile, anti-oxidative capacity and polyphenol levels and composition. The possible effects of fertilization should be considered when deciding on fertilization regime, to optimize both plant physiology, productivity and food-related effects. Nitrogen is an important element for Jew’s mallow production since it responds well to it. However, appropriate amounts of nutrients need to be provided to crops at the right time to favor both crop growth, yield and quality. Different reports confirmed that addition or increase of N, negatively affects the total phenolics and total flavonoids, and reduces accumulation of defense-related secondary metabolites resulting in lower oxidative capacity. Increased secondary metabolite production during water deficit and low nitrogen in the soil has been reported as a stress mechanism by most plants. However, further research is required to explore the biochemical response of Jew’s mallow to water deficit and nitrogen fer
