Prevalence of anemia among women of child bearing age was at 31.8%. The current levels of malnutrition in Uganda Aare unacceptable. In Acholi region, 31% of children below 5 years of age are stunted, 4% are wasted and 15% are under weight. In Central region, 19% of children under 5 years are stunted, 4% are wasted and 7% are underweight. Therefore, nutrition warrants greater investment and commitment for Uganda to realize its full development potential. Among the main contributors of malnutrition is the low awareness of the available options and in some instances - the poverty levels within certain regions that limits households from accessing enough food or providing the appropriate health care. It is upon this background that the Government of Uganda with the support from the International Fund for Agricultural Development funded two projects in Kalangala region and northern Uganda. The objectives of the projects were to improve households’ income by increasing productivity of farmers through adoption of commercial farming. The VODPII project in Kalangala was to achieve its objective through promoting commercial production of oil palm thus increasing household incomes. In northern Uganda, PRELNOR aimed at increasing production of food crops especially maize, beans, cassava and rice…so that farmers have excess surplus to sell. VODPII In 2003 the Government of Uganda, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), BIDCO and individual farmers in Kalangala under Kalangala Oil Palm Growers Trust (KOPGT) teamed up to establish an oil palm project with expertise from Malaysia, the pilot was rolled out on Bugala Island with plans to expand the project to other neighbouring islands in the district. The project was designed to improve the livelihood of the people of Uganda and Kalangala in particular, more so on the nutrition status of the poor and reduction on the national cost burden of importation of vegetable oils. 6 | Training manual For Field Extension service providers PRELNOR Although only 20% of the Uganda population lives in Northern Uganda, it accounts for 38% of the poor in Uganda with 26% of all the chronically poor living in the area. IFAD included Northern Uganda, particularly the Acholi region, as a high priority in the IFAD project pipeline. Most farmers returning from the IDP camps rely on the natural fertility of the soils, with minimal or no inputs leading to low yields and productivity. The sub-region has excellent potential for agricultural development, which is needed for lifting the rural poor out of poverty. The PRELNOR project aims to achieve increased incomes through; adoption of improved farming practices, improving market processes and structures and providing climate specific information to enable improved farming. This Guide is therefore designed for use by field level staff. The guide gives details that are aimed at enabling the field service providers within PRELNOR and VODP II projects to gain an understanding major concepts in nutrition, identifying nutrition needs for different categories of people, identifying different forms of malnutrition, their causes, consequences, management and preventive strategies. Nutrition indicators and their measurement and monitoring methods are also included. Finally, information on food safety and hygiene is also given. The target trainees include: field level staff (Community based facilitators, Household Mentors and Unit leaders) following the trainings, the field extension service providers will have gained knowledge and skills that can be transferred to communities and household members in projects’ target regions. Outcome This training guide is intended to build capacity of community level resource persons to transfer knowledge on basic concepts regarding appropriate dietery patterns and use of existing farming systems for better household nutrition.In reffering to this manual,the community resource persons will be able to draft action action plans to transfer the information gained to community members.The expected impact is that enhanced knowledge of the links between agriculture,nutrition and health,formation and/or upgrading of existing home gardens into comprehensive gardens as well as proper dietary and health practices will eventually lead to enhanced nutrition and health status. Outputs • Number of extension field workers trained and able to train their community members, number of households reached with the intervention, • Number of households trained by extension field workers that can implement the recommended practices Training manual For Field Extension service providers | 7 Users of the Guide This guide it to be used in creating awareness of the service providers with regards to nutrition to enable mainstreaming of nutrition into PRELNOR & VODP II projects. It will be used for training Field level implementers. Overview of the Training Guide The guide has 7 Main sections: 1. Basic Concepts in Nutrition 2. Ensuring household and individual balanced diet 3. Malnutrition, its forms and causes 4. Food and nutrition assessment 5. Food safety and hygiene 6.

  • Soured Milk and Yoghurt
    SOURED MILK AND YOGHURT Introduction Traditionally, soured milk is produced by the uncontrolled fermentation of milk using lactic acid bacteria that occur naturally in the milk. It is a thick clotted product that has a stronger flavour and a more acidic taste than yoghurt. It has a shelf life of 3-8 days and is used as a drink or as an accompaniment to a meal. Cultured buttermilk is the fermented by-product of butter manufacture (see Technical Brief: Butter and ghee), but it is also produced as a product from skimmed milk or whole milk using a culture of Streptococcus lactis or Streptococcus cremoris. There are a large number of other cultured milk products, including kefir, koumiss, labneh, and others that are specific to particular regions, which each have different flavours and textures that depend on the starter micro-organisms that are used. Yoghurt is produced by the controlled fermentation of milk by two species of lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus sp. and Streptococcus sp.). The acid they produce causes the milk to form a characteristic curd and flavour. It can be kept for up to ten days under refrigerated storage (see Technical Brief: Dairy processing - an overview for the principles of preservation, which is intended to be read alongside this Technical Brief). The removal of lactose by lactic acid bacteria also means that soured milks and yoghurt can be eaten by people who suffer from lactose intolerance. Flavoured and fruit yoghurts have a similar shelf life to plain yoghurt, a similar smooth creamy texture and a sweet-sour taste with the characteristic flavour and colour of the essence or fruit that is added.

  • Dissolved Oxygen in Milk and Dairy Products Relevant For: Dairy Industry
    Dissolved Oxygen in Milk and Dairy Products Relevant for: Dairy Industry Dissolved oxygen (DO) in dairy products is a critical quality parameter and must be monitored. DO reduces suitability for consumption, shelf life and affects the major quality parameters of dairy such as nutritive value, color and taste. During pasteurization DO has to be removed from the milk to improve process performance and to secure consistent quality of the final product. To assure your product contains the target DO content, Anton Paar’s inline oxygen sensor Oxy 5100 can be easily implemented directly into your production line. Customers benefit from an accurate and reliable DO monitoring for a wide range of concentrations. Installing the sensor prior to packaging enables the 1 Milk pasteurization process last check of the DO values before the product is filled The milk pasteurization process is a series of process into its final package. steps which transform non-sterile raw milk into a sterile product.

  • DAIRY PROCESSING an Overview
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Mountain Forum DAIRY PROCESSING An overview Introduction Milk is a valuable nutritious food that, if untreated, will spoil within a few days. However, there are a number of preservation techniques that can be used at a small scale to extend its shelf life by several days, weeks or months. Some of these processing methods also produce foods that have different flavours and textures, which can increase the value of the milk when these products are sold. This Technical Brief gives an overview of the types of dairy processing that are possible at a small scale of operation. Details of the individual processing methods are given in other Technical Briefs in this series: Pasteurised milk; Butter and ghee; Soured milk and yoghurt; Cheese-making; Ice cream production and Dairy confectionery. Other methods of milk processing, such as making dried milk powder, sterilised milk (Ultra- High-Temperature or ‘long-life’ milk and bottled sterilised milk), canned (evaporated or condensed) milk, or milk by-products such as casein, are not possible at a small scale because of the very high costs of equipment and the specialist technical knowledge required. Spoilage, food poisoning and preservation Milk is not only nutritious for people, but also for bacteria. Because milk is a low-acid food, bacteria are able to grow in it and contaminate any products that are made from it. If milk is not properly processed or if it is contaminated after processing, bacteria can change the flavour, texture or colour of dairy products, to spoil them and make them unacceptable for sale.

  • Mad Millie Cottage Cheese
    Mad Millie Cottage Cheese Cottage cheese can be eaten by itself, with fruit, on toast or in salads. The term “cottage cheese” originated because the simple cheese was usually made in cottages from any milk left over from making butter. The unpasteurised milk would sour itself when left in a warm place overnight. Cottage cheese was then made from this soured milk the next day. INGREDIENTS - 4 L (1 US Gal) Full fat, homogenised milk - 2 mL Mad Millie Calcium Chloride - 1 sachet Mad Millie Fresh Cheese Culture - 1 tablet Mad Millie Rennet diluted in 1/4 cup (62 mL) of cool, non-chlorinated water - Mad Millie Artisan's Cheese Salt to taste METHOD 1. Pour milk into a pot and heat to 22°C (72°F) before stirring in calcium chloride. 2. Stir in the Mad Millie Fresh Cheese Culture and diluted rennet. Cover and leave to set in a water bath at 22°C (72°F) for 4 – 8 hours or until a gel-like curd is formed. 3. Cut the curd into 3 cm (1 in) cubes with a knife and allow to sit for 10 minutes. 4. Return to the stove and slowly heat while stirring until the temperature reaches 43°C (110°F). Maintain this temperature for 20 minutes. 5. Turn off the heat and let the curds settle to the bottom of the pot for 5 minutes. 6. Using a draining or serving spoon, transfer the curds to a cheese cloth lined colander and allow to drain for 5 minutes. 7. Remove curds from the colander, put them into a bowl and break up, add salt or herbs as desired.
