title: Design of product as source of variance in composition of meat-based infant beikosts.
abstract: The influence of both the design of the product (formulated raw ingredients) and type of product (on the meat type formulated base) on the mineral composition, crude protein (CP), protein digestibility (PD), total dietary fiber (TDF) and phytic acid (FA) contents of meat-based infant beikosts was studied. The product design was the main factor determining the CP, TDF, Ca, Na and K contents, while the type of product was the main factor determining the PD, FA, Zn, Fe and Mn contents. High K and Mn levels were related to high TDF contents. CP and Zn showed a significant relationship but the CP Fe  relationship was not significant.
