Mutchayan (fermented cereal paste with baobab pulp)mutchayan
Mutchayan is a stiff cooked cereal paste, usually sorghum, mixed with a sour drink made from baobab fruit pulp and left covered for a day or more. Lactic bacteria and yeasts grow in it, but the baobab pulp has already made it acidic, so the pH stays near 4.2. It is thinned with water into a drink or eaten as a main dish with sauce. Made in 5 steps over 8 days. The longest step, thin into a drink or serve as a main dish, takes 7 days (Chadare F.J 2010). Lactic acid bacteria and Yeasts do most of the fermenting.
Amounts from a sourceThe ratio recorded from village processors in the Natitingou region; other cereals are used the same way.

What makes this one different
Mutchayan is made like other fermented cereal doughs of Benin, such as mawè, gowé and ogi, but it is the only one enriched with baobab pulp drink. The pulp makes it acidic, about pH 4.2, before fermentation begins, so a day of fermentation changes it only mildly.
Acidity
pH 4.2 before and after fermentation, set by the baobab pulp
Vitamin C
About 300 g of mutchayan gives 10.7 to 11.3 mg of vitamin C, all from the baobab pulp
Maize or millet mutchayanMaize or millet flour in place of sorghum; the studied form used sorghum.
Safety
The baobab pulp makes the mix acidic, about pH 4.2, from the start, and it keeps about a week in its vessel. The studied village batches were made under uncontrolled hygiene.
Mutchayan was first described scientifically in 2010, one of 35 baobab foods recorded in Benin. Fresh baobab pulp is available from January to May, which is when mutchayan is plentiful.
