Primary Outcome
Alpha-amylase sufficiency in children,Starch digestibility,Gastric emptying
Summary
Research has demonstrated that there is a relationship between malnourishment and
 insufficient production of pancreatic enzymes, such as ฮฑ-amylase which digests starch into
 glucose. Starchy foods that can be easily digested into glucose are critical to the
 development child for energy and proper growth. This study investigated the use of a
 noninvasive breath test for the assessment of amylase sufficiency, digestibility of normal
 and modified sorghum porridges and gastric emptying rate of a sorghum porridge in Malian and
 U.S. children.
