... Evaluations of food processing options must consider food preferences, availability of raw ingredients, capital and labor requirements cost, local child feeding practices, and the s~ocultural acceptance of foods produce RECOMMENDED INTERVENTIONS Nutritional interventions intended to reduce diarrhea! disease in children have three pnnapal objectives: (1)

... Behavioral Modification Research programs are needed to develop mproved implementation schemes for the mteneniions recommended in this report. Methods for ef~echog behavioral changes in specific cultural contexts are of particular impomnce because many recommended interventions target specific behaviors.
From page 68...
... Nutrient Bioavailability and Caloric Density Studies are needed that examine physiologic parameters and the properties of foods that influence nutrient bioavailabili~r and caloric density. The results of such studies should help ideate improved formulations of foods and appropriate processing techniques for their production.

... CONCLUSIONS~D COMMENDATIONS Improved Food Processing Technologies 69 Studies and demonstrations are needed that examine alternative small and moderate scale food processes which will expand the utility of foods, increase storage stability, improve caloric density, reduce preparation time and minimize fuel use for cooking and hygiene purposes.
