Meeting Targeted Needs
• Determination of attributes and needs
• Public and private partnerships for product development
• Pilot projects and testing• Commercial experience
Strategies
• Develop understanding– Partnerships with PVOs and industry
• Design solutions– Local need, align with national/
international strategies
• Technical assistance– Training, monitoring/evaluation– Product storage, handling, preparation
Flakes and Granules
• Efforts included– Acceptability– Product feasibility:
• Ease of use• Adaptability/versatility
– Impact• Utilization• Nutrition

Flakes and Granules
Flakes and Granules
Fortified Dehy
• Fortification through processing– Reduces premix challenges
• Tailored fortification for: – Local and regional micronutrient needs– Targeted beneficiary needs
• Piloted in Zambia by World Vision– Acceptable and added nutrition
Flakes and Granules
Fortified Blended Foods
• Dehy as a base for FBFs complements:– Taste, texture of other ingredients– Nutritional value of FBF– Instant quality
• Reduced fuel costs and use• Less destruction of vitamins• Mixes with potable fluids of any kind
Flakes and Granules
Potato-Soy Blend
• Tested in Senegal – PSB experimental and CSB control
groups– Acceptability trended to better for PSB– Equivalent impact on general nutrition
markers over four months
Therapeutic Product
• Manna Pack™ Potato-D– Dehy-based product– Targets management of diarrhea in
children– Developed as “first food” to
complement oral rehydration– Piloted in cholera camps in Zimbabwe– Part of a clinical trial in South Africa
Additional Exploration
• Nutrition– Dehydrated potatoes as vehicle for
fortification– Potatoes in ready-to-use (RTU) snacks
and other food products– Potatoes in ready-to-use therapeutic
foods (RUTF)
• Development– Dehydrated potatoes as a functional
ingredient in value chain development
Summary
• From dehy flakes and granules• To:
– Vehicle for fortification– Base of blended food products– Value in therapeutic foods– Potential in RTUF, RUTF
• Complementary features of dehy• Public-private development efforts
