  abstract = {{F}ortified rice has the potential to improve the micronutrients status of vulnerable populations. {H}owever, fortified rice has to have acceptable organoleptic-the sensory properties of a particular food-qualities. {F}ew data exist on the acceptability of fortified rice in {A}sia. {T}o assess the acceptability of two types of fortified rice (cold and hot extruded) in {V}ietnam and {C}ambodia, triangle tests were conducted in {V}ietnam (53 women) and {C}ambodia (258 adults), testing fortified rice against conventional rice, with participants being asked to score the organoleptic qualities. {I}n addition, {C}ambodian schoolchildren (n = 1700) were given conventional rice and two types of fortified rice for two week periods as part of a {W}orld {F}ood {P}rogram school meal program, with intake monitored. {F}ortified rice differed significantly in organoleptic qualities from conventional rice, with most subjects correctly identifying fortified rice ({P} < 0.001). {H}owever, fortified rice was found to be highly acceptable in both countries. {I}n {C}ambodia, schoolchildren consuming fortified rice had higher intakes than when consuming conventional rice (176 g/child/day and 168 g/child/day, respectively; {P} < 0.05). {T}his study shows that fortified rice is acceptable in two countries in {S}outheast {A}sia. {H}owever, specific information is needed to explain the organoleptic qualities of fortified rice as perceived by end-users.},
