Abstract: Modisco is a highly nutritious liquid food that can be used to help toddlers with nutritional disorders. Modisco's basic ingredients are skim milk, sugar and cooking oil. Modifications to the modisco were made by adding soybeans and fruit which aims to overcome the weakness of the modisco from the lack of mineral mix content. For this reason, it is necessary to add fruits, especially those containing magnesium and potassium as a substitute for the mineral mix. The fruit used as a substitute for mineral mix is apples. This study aims to determine the effect of the addition of soy milk and fruit at different levels on the nutritional content and the level of preference for modisco...........
