Taste Adjustment: Baby Food with Fish Flavor
August 30th 2010 -
Porridge with organic beef, bananas, carrots and chicken – even for babies, the supply of finished size. For salmon and cod, we think this country more like cat food. A recent study advocated the idea but unusual, baby food making fish taste. It should appear in the next issue of the Journal of Food Science.

“Babies need plenty of omega-3 fatty acids for their brain development,” explained study leader Susan Brewer of the University of Illinois. “If they must change from milk to solid food, most of them do not get sufficient quantities.” In addition, the children soon adjust their taste for life – what they did not know until the fifth year, it is difficult to accept in food repertoire.
One hurdle for the idea could be parents, which seems fishy content of baby food with suspicion. “I thought so initially, ‘yuck’ at the thought of baby food with fish,” says the researcher. Brewer still has its own recipe to a group of 107 parents tested. The subjects were given baby food with 27 percent of fish and those prefixed with the same amounts of meat content. “But in fact, the fish porridge would not smell fishy. Most of the subjects could not tell whether fish or meat stuck in the glass.”
