ABSTRACT
In low-and middle-income nations, the double burden of malnutrition is a rising problem. It is unusual for an underweight child and an overweight mother to exist together in the same household because they both occupy a shared environment and have access to the same dietary patterns and habits. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictors associated with double burden of malnutrition among the child-mother pairs living in Kericho County. The research design employed was cross-sectional descriptive study. The target population was 346 comprising of a child- mother pairs within the six sub-counties within Kericho County. The research employed the multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method to obtain the target households. A pre-tested questionnaire collected data from socioeconomic demographic characteristics, nutrition status for mother (Body Mass Index,) child (BMI- Z-scores), food consumption and frequency. Data processing was done using Ms Excel, SPSS vs. 26.0 and Nutri survey 2005 software. Categorical variables were analyzed, while measures of central tendencies and dispersion were computed. The benchmark for the level of significance were at 0.05 alpha level (p<0.05. The results showed that majority of the respondents (57.6%) were between 36-49 years. The study findings also revealed that 18.9% of children were stunted, 11.5% wasted, 5.8% obese and 8.1% overweight. The study also found that 28.1% of mothers were overweight while 7.7% were obese and 16.9% were underweight. The variables: Weight of; mother’s age, weight and height, child’s age, gender and weight were significantly associated with double burden of malnutrition among child-mother pairs. The mother’s weight, height and age, the child’s weight, age and gender influences the nutritional outcomes which has an influence in controlling DBM. The study recommends that policy makers to review the Maternal, Infant and Young Child Feeding Nutrition (MIYCN) policy to take into consideration .....

ABSTRACT
For characterizing the nutritional quality of two honeys from Côte d'Ivoire, a collection of 18 samples from the cities of Kouto (North) and Touba (West) was carried out during three periods. A biochemical analysis of the honeys was performed then the glycemic index (GI) and load (GL) of two samples, one from each locality was determined. The results indicate that these honeys were rich in total sugars (77.28 g/100g DM) and in reducing sugars (71.21 g/100g DM). They contained calcium (12.85 mg/100g DM), magnesium (17.61 mg/100g DM) and phosphorus (13.47 mg/100g DM). On average, they had an ash content of 0.30 g/100g DM, a titratable acidity of 56.1 mEq/Kg with an acid pH equal to 3, polyphenol contents of 60.39 mg/100gDM and flavonoids of 5.83 mg/100g DM. Kouto honey (50.74) was lower GI food than Touba honey (57.20). Nevertheless, these two honeys carry high glycemic loads. Given their high sugar content, these honeys could be high-risk foods for overweight and diabetic populations.

ABSTRACT
Sea foods have been a very good source of nutrients to man. In this research, the nutritional value of three sea foods namely shrimps, oysters and periwinkles obtained from Brass Local Government Area, Bayelsa State were investigated. Vitamins were analyzed with HPLC, while the minerals were determined using AAS. From the findings, phosphorus is the most concentrated mineral in the three seafood studied, with significantly (p≥0.05) higher concentrations of 3112.860ppm±15.204, 2117.863ppm±22.625 and 2906.524ppm±31.850 in shrimp, oyster and periwinkle respectively. The least concentrated minerals were iron and zinc with values of 0.031ppm±0.000 and 0.043ppm±0.001 for Shrimp, 0.056ppm±0.002 and 0.112ppm±0.021 for oyster and 0.056ppm±0.005 and 0.026ppm±0.000 for periwinkle respectively. Despite the fact that oil exploitation activities in Bayelsa state results in pollution, Shrimps, oysters and periwinkles from the study still can still serve as sources of vitamins and minerals, hence, the findings of this study can be applied to future research on human nutrition.

ABSTRACT
In Korhogo town, there is a proliferation of places selling grilled meats. Also, controlling contamination of meat by pathogenic germs and toxic compounds is a major challenge for actors in the sector. It is in this context that a study was conducted to assess the hygienic quality of mutton grills sold on the outskirts of the streets of Korhogo town. To do this, a survey was conducted among sellers to describe the preparation and storage methods of mutton grills. Then, at points of sale, observations were made on the environment, equipment, raw material, method and workforce in order to assess the hygiene of mutton grills preparation. After that, the microbiological quality of mutton grills was assessed by looking for TMAF, faecal coliforms, S. aureus and Salmonella spp. Finally, the benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) content in mutton grills was estimated through a cooking test. The survey revealed that the majority of mutton grills sellers (60%) cooked the meat over an ember fire and stored the unsold grills at room temperature in basins or baskets. In most of the sale places visited (83.33%), the sellers did not comply with the principle of separating “clean” and “dirty” areas. Microbiological analysis showed that unpackaged mutton grills had better microbiological quality compared to mutton grills packaged in recovery paper, which served as a cement bag. However, the mutton grills overall quality was unsatisfactory in most cases (66.67%). The main microorganisms incriminated in the unsatisfactory quality of mutton grills were S. aureus (53.67%) and faecal coliforms (51.67%). Furthermore, the cooking test indicated that mutton cooked over an ember fire had a BaP content above the recommended maximum limit (2 µg/kg). Considering the results above, the mutton grills sold on the outskirts of the streets of Korhogo town would present a risk of food toxi-infection and poisoning for consumers. These results must be taken into account in order to carry out preventive actions, such as

ABSTRACT
In tropical Africa, leafy vegetables are traditionally eaten as a relish together with a starchy staple food. Nevertheless, report on their nutritive potential is scanty. In order to contribute to their valorization, leafy vegetables consumed in the north of Côte d'Ivoire (Cerathoteca sesamoides, Leptadenia hastata, Ocimum gratissimum and Portulaca oleracea) were studied. The leafy vegetables were collected in the towns of Korhogo and Dabakala located respectively in the North and Center-North of Côte d'Ivoire. These sheets were subjected to three drying treatments before their characterization. To do this, the physico-chemical and nutritional properties of these leafy vegetables have been realized. The results revealed that oven and sun drying significantly reduced the moisture in our four leafy greens. After drying, C. sesamoides and O. gratissimum had the lowest moisture content of 8.25±0.15% and 8.07±0.06% respectively for oven drying, while sun drying reduced these moisture levels to 9.48±0.12% and 9.23±0.1% respectively for the leaves of C. sesamoides and O. gratissimum. Unlike humidity, these analyzes revealed a concentration of ashes, proteins, fibers and carbohydrates during the three drying modes. With regard to the ashes, drying in an oven allowed a better concentration in the leaves of L. hastata (13.40±0.04%) and P. oleracea (21.81±0.50%) while drying in the sun gave a content of 18.24±0.33% (P. oleracea) and that of shade drying recorded a content of 13.26±0.13% (L. hastata). Concerning the protein content, the results obtained showed that the leaves of C. sesamoides, L. hastata and O. gratissimum had a better concentration during drying in the oven and in the shade. Oven drying recorded a protein content of 22.01±0.08% (L. hastata) and 22.65±0.08% (O. gratissimum) while shade drying recorded a protein content of 22.67±0.10 % (L. hastata) and 23.62±0.46% (C. sesamoides). At the level of crude fibers, the results showed that the leaves .............

ABSTRACT
Nutritional status is the state of the body as a result of food consumption and use of nutrients. Nutrition is also one of the capitals in determining the quality of resources that can increase physical growth and the development of human intelligence. Based on the health profile of Southwest Sumba Regency in 2019, namely in June, children under five who experienced malnutrition had reached 100 cases, while cases of malnutrition were 348 cases. The Billa Cenge Health Center is one of the health centers located in North Kodi District, Southwest Sumba Regency. The Billa Cenge Health Center is one of the health centers that have nutritional status problems with a total of 50 cases. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors related to the nutritional status of children under five in the work area of the Billa Cenge Health Center, Southwest Sumba Regency. The type of research used is a survey research with a cross sectional design. The location and time of this research is in the Work Area of the Billa Cenge Health Center, Southwest Sumba Regency, in October 2021. The sample used in this study was 97 toddlers. The data obtained were analyzed using chi-square with a significance level of =0.05. The results showed that there were six variables that had a relationship and one variable that did not have a relationship with the status of children under five, namely the level of knowledge of maternal nutrition (p-value= 0.001), mother's education (p-value= 0.000), maternal nutritional behavior (p-value= 0.001), family income (p-value= 0,004) and number of family members (p-value=0,006). Therefore, the communities, especially mothers who have children under five, are expected to seek information about the handling of nutritional status problems in children under five and participate in socialization activities on how to process good food ingredients for toddlers.
