Fortified blended foods (FBFs) were developed to deliver sufficient nutrients for children's development. These products must be acceptable to target populations: children who eat the food and caregivers who prepare it. Five extruded FBFs and one current FBF (corn‐soy blend plus [CSB+]) were made. Acceptability tests of porridges made from each FBF were conducted with children in Tanzania over a 20‐week period. An interview and household visit were conducted to collect information on household behaviors including preparation, consumption, and storage practices. Acceptance testing showed that children's acceptability of porridges of all FBFs increased over time perhaps due to the repeated exposure to the products. However, CSB+ porridge had lower acceptability from children at the end of the study, probably because of the lack of sweetness. Moreover, porridges made from novel FBFs required less cooking time than CSB+ and no ingredients needed to be added compared to CSB+ where sugar and milk were common additions. Novel FBFs have potential as alternative supplementary foods with higher acceptability. The simple cooking for novel FBFs make them valuable to caregivers with limited time and access to energy sources and nutrient‐rich ingredients.

了解儿童反复接触和家庭水平行为后对新型膨化强化混合食品的可接受性

强化混合食品（FBF）的开发旨在为儿童的发育提供足够的营养。这些产品必须是目标人群可接受的：食用食物的儿童和准备食物的保姆。制作了5个挤出的FBF和1个当前的FBF（玉米-大豆混合物加[CSB +]）。在20周的时间内，对坦桑尼亚的孩子们进行了每个FBF制成的粥的可接受性测试。进行了一次访谈和家庭访问，以收集有关家庭行为的信息，包括准备，消费和存放习惯。验收测试表明，儿童对所有FBF粥的可接受性随着时间的推移而增加，这可能是由于反复接触产品所致。但是，在研究结束时，CSB +粥对儿童的接受度较低，这可能是由于缺乏甜味所致。此外，与通常添加糖和牛奶的CSB +相比，由新型FBF制成的粥所需的烹饪时间比CSB +短，并且无需添加任何成分。新型FBF具有作为替代性补充食品的潜力，具有较高的可接受性。新颖的FBF的简单烹饪方法使它们对于护理人员而言很有价值，因为他们在有限的时间内获得了能源和营养丰富的成分。
