%X Background. Colombia is one of the world's countries having a moderate prevalence of anaemic expectant women (20%-40%); it has been shown that mothers' serum folate and iron levels are relevant biochemical factors for babies' formation. Such statements have justified formulating an iron- and folic acid-enriched food product which has been specifically designed for expectant mothers and which contributes towards improving their nutritional conditions. Objective. Developing an organoleptically acceptable, caramel (arequipe)-flavoured, sweetened iron- and folic acid-enriched milk-based drink. Materials and methods. The enriched drink was formulated in two stages (i.e. the standard and the product). The initial product was enriched with iron and folic acid and its final organoleptic acceptance was then determined. Results. The arequipe-flavoured Mam芍 vitae milk-based drink formulation had 86% acceptance. It included 10 mg aminochelated iron and 230   g pteroylmonoglutamate per 200 mL milk portion and supplied 17% of the recommended iron and 33% folic acid intake for pregnant women. Conclusion. The product's characteristics favoured better nutritional conditions for pregnant women and fertile females who want to plan a viable pregnancy. This type of product is epidemiologically necessary for vulnerable populations such as expectant and breast-feeding mothers. Antecedentes. Colombia se encuentra dentro de los pa赤ses con prevalencia moderada de anemia en mujeres gestantes (20-40%); est芍 comprobado que los niveles s谷ricos de folato y hierro en la madre son factores bioqu赤micos relevantes para la formaci車n del beb谷. Dichas aseveraciones, justifican la formulaci車n de un producto alimenticio enriquecido con hierro y 芍cido f車lico, espec赤fico para mujeres gestantes y que contribuya a mejorar sus condiciones nutricionales. Objetivo. Desarrollar una bebida l芍ctea enriquecida con hierro y 芍cido f車lico, endulzada y con sabor a arequipe, organol谷pticamente aceptable. Materiales y m谷todos. Para su desarrollo, se cumplieron dos etapas b芍sicas: formulaci車n del patr車n y formulaci車n del producto. El enriquecimiento del producto inicial se hizo con hierro y 芍cido f車lico y luego se determin車 la aceptaci車n organol谷ptica final. Resultados. La formulaci車n de la bebida l芍ctea Mam芍 vitae sabor a arequipe, tuvo 86% de aceptaci車n, e incluy車 10 mg de hierro aminoquelado y 230   g de pteroilmonoglutamato por porci車n de 200 mL de leche; aport車 el 17% de las recomendaciones de hierro y el 33% del 芍cido f車lico para una mujer en gestaci車n.
