Table 3

Vitamin composition of complementary foods and commercial wean mix per 100 g.

Vitamins	ComF01	ComF02	Commercial wean mix	value	RV^α
Vitamin A (μg)	^c	^b	^a	<0.001	400
B1 (thiamine) (mg)	^a	^b	^c	<0.001	0.36
B2 (riboflavin) (mg)	^a	^c	^b	<0.001	0.36
B3 (niacin) (mg)	^bc	^a	^c	<0.001	6.0
B6 (pyridoxine) (mg)	^c	^ab	^a	<0.001	0.44
B9 (folate) (μg)	^c	^a	^ab	<0.001	83

The results are presented as SD of the means. ComF₀₁: complementary food 01 (white maize+red teff+soybean); ComF₀₂: complementary food 02 (white maize+red teff+insect bee larvae); RV: recommended value; commercial wean mix (Mama’s Choice); means with different superscripts (alphabets) in the same row are significantly different ; ^αsources [63].
