Description After weaning, infants receive, in addition to milk, small quantities of cereals
either in the cooked form or in the form ofa weaning food. In western countries,
in addition to a milk-cereal diet, weaned children also receive supplements of
strained foods based on fruits and vegetables (1). The exact role played by these
strained foods in the nutrition of weaned infants is not known. The strained
foods especially based on fruits are rich sources of ascorbic acid, which is present
only in small quantities either in milk or cereals. Chaney (2) reported that a
daily ration of orange given with the normal diets resulted in an improvement
in the increase in weight of under-nourished children. Hunscher et at. (3) observed
that a daily ingestion of 100 g. of fruit resulted in an increase in the retention of
calcium and phosphorus in children. Therefore, strained foods, based on fruit,
exert a beneficial efiect in the nutrition of children. No information is available
in the literature on the supplementary value of strained mango fruit pulp to milkcereal
diets. The present paper deals with studies on the effect of supplementing
milk-cereal diet with strained food containing mango pulp on the growth and
composition of liver and body of albino rats.
