• Background: Specific undernutrition interventions focused on children aged 6-24 months include exclusive breastfeeding and providing complementary food rich in animal protein and available locally for toddlers. Instant kanji rumbi porridge is a local food from Aceh.

  Methods: The development of instant kanji rumbi porridge used an experimental design. Protein (Kjeldahl), amino acids (Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography/UPLC), and fatty acids (Gas Chromatography/GC-FID) were analyzed. Amino acid and fatty acid profile data were tabulated and analyzed descriptively.

  Results: Kanji rumbi porridge had a protein content of 20.22 g/100 grams and met the established complementary food standards. It contained essential, non-essential, and conditionally essential amino acids with an Amino Acid Score of 61% and valine as the limiting amino acid. The product also has complete fatty acid content, especially omega 3, 6, and 9.

  Conclusion: Instant Kanji Rumbi porridge can be a supplementary feeding for undernutrition children with protein, essential amino acids, and essential fatty acids.
