The aim of this study was comparative assessment of content of vitamin C in daily food rations orphans children aged 1-6 years by using two methods--analytical and calculation and evaluation of energy intake by calculation. The levels of energy and vitamin C intake in daily food rations were calculated using menu data and data of food composition tables and compared with the recommended dietary intake (RDI). In addition vitamin C was determined in daily food rations by high performance liquid chromatography method (HPLC). Differences between two methods for evaluation of content of vitamin C were not statistically significant. Contribution of energy to individual meals and share of main nutritive components in supply of energy to daily food rations did not correspond with recommendations. Beyond this daily food rations orphans children were plentiful, monotonous and uniform without using seasonal products.
