Abstract In 1978, we designed a new elemental diet, ED-AC, which modified after Vivonex-HN with the co-operation of Ajinomoto Co., Japan and Morton-Norwich Co., U.S.A.. ED-AC is now being used widely in Japan for enteral hyper-alimentation, even in case of pediatric surgery. We have now prepared another elemental diet, this time for infants, ED-P (pediatric). The ratio of amino acids in both ED was determined according the proposal of Professor Goro Inoue, Department of Nutrition, Tokushima University. The application of ED, particularly for surgical patients, has been most effective. The use of this diet for enteral hyperalimentation should find a wide application in surgical and medical practice.
