  abstract = {{B}ackground: {A} new software tool, {O}ptifood, developed by the {WHO} and based on linear programming ({LP}) analysis, has been developed to formulate food-based recommendations. {O}bjective: {T}his study discusses the use of {O}ptifood for predicting whether formulated complementary food ({CF}) products can ensure dietary adequacy for target populations in {C}ambodia. {D}esign: {D}ietary data were collected by 24-h recall in a cross-sectional survey of 6- to 11-mo-old infants (n = 78). {LP} model parameters were derived from these data, including a list of foods, median serving sizes, and dietary patterns. {F}ive series of {LP} analyses were carried out to model the target population's baseline diet and 4 formulated {CF} products [{W}in {F}ood ({WF}), {W}in {F}ood-{L}ite ({WF}-{L}), {C}orn-{S}oy-{B}lend {P}lus ({CSB}+), and {C}orn-{S}oy-{B}lend {P}lus {P}lus ({CSB}++)], which were added to the diet in portions of 33 g/d dry weight ({DW}) for infants aged 6-8 mo and 40 g/d {DW} for infants aged 9-11 mo. {I}n each series of analyses, the nutritionally optimal diet and theoretical range, in diet nutrient contents, were determined. {R}esults: {T}he {LP} analysis showed that baseline diets could not achieve the {R}ecommended {N}utrient {I}ntake ({RN}[) for thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, vitamin {B}-12, calcium, iron, and zinc (range: 14-91% of {RNI} in the optimal diets) and that none of the formulated {CF} products could cover the nutrient gaps for thiamin, niacin, iron, and folate (range: 22-86% of the {RNI}). {I}ron was the key limiting nutrient, for all modeled diets, achieving a maximum of only 48% of the {RNI} when {CSB}++ was included in the diet. {O}nly {WF} and {WF}-{L} filled the nutrient gap for calcium. {WF}-{L}, {CSB}+, and {CSB}++ filled the nutrient gap for zinc (9- to 11-mo-olds). {C}onclusions: {T}he formulated {CF} products improved the nutrient adequacy of complementary feeding diets but could not entirely cover the nutrient gaps. {T}hese results emphasize the value of using {LP} to evaluate special {CF} products during the intervention planning phase.},
