AnnotationFour types of dairy and four types of fruit products, either enriched with micronutrients or not, were consumed by 150 frail older Dutch people for 4 months. In the first 2 and last 2 weeks, hedonic aspects were assessed. Afterwards, evaluation forms were completed. At the start, small but consistent differences existed between the enriched and the regular foods concerning scores on pleasantness, desire to eat the product, and attitude toward the product. At the end, those ratings dropped slightly or stayed equal. Optimisation of the hedonic parameters of nutrient-dense foods and major long-term attention for application in older people's daily feeding pattern is of essential importance. (RH).
