Abstract
This study was conducted to develop semi-solid infant foods using pumpkins. Purees were made from pumpkin and sweet-pumpkin, and were manufactured with blending, steaming or blanching. The moisture content of sweet-pumpkin puree was lower than pumpkin puree, but viscosity, Hunter\`s L, a, b values, $\beta$-carotene and riboflavin contents were higher. Steaming puree from sweet-pumpkin had the highest score in overall-preference and was selected as the ingredient far infant foods. In amylogram, gelatinization temperature was decreased and amylograph viscosity was increased, as the content of modified starch became high. Semi-solid infant floods were prepared with steaming puree from sweet-pumpkin, modified corn starch, rice powder and dairy products such as milk, whole milk powder and skim milk powder. After sterilization of infant foods, Hunter\`s color values were little changed. And the viscosity of infant foods were increased generally, but kept in 3% modified starch group. Sensory evaluation results showed that sweet-pumpkin puree 40%, rice flour 7%, skim milk powder 3% and water 50% was optimum ratio of infant foods.
호박을 이용한 반고형 이유식을 제조하기 위하여 단호박과 늙은호박을 각각 마쇄하거나, 찌거나, 데친 후 각각을 체에 내리고 가열하여 puree를 만들고, 이들의 수분함량, 점도, 색도, $\beta$-carotene 함량, riboflavin 함량, ascorbic acid 함량을 측정하고, 관능검사를 실시하였다. 단호박퓨레가 호박퓨레보다 수분 함량이 적었고, 점도, Hunter L, a, b 색도, $\beta$-carotene 함량, riboflavin 함량은 높았다. 관능검사를 실시하여 단맛과 전체적인 선호도가 높은 찐 단호박 퓨레를 이유식의 주원료로 선택하였다. 변성전분의 혼합비율이 증가할수록 호화개시온도는 낮아지고 최고점도는 증가하였다. 찐 단호박 퓨레에 변성전분, 쌀가루, 유제품을 혼합하여 제조한 이유식은 살균과정에서 색도의 변화는 적었으나 점도가 증가하였는데 변성전분 3%를 혼합한 이유식은 점도가 안정하였다. 전체적인 선호도가 찐 단호박퓨레 40%, 쌀가루 7%와 전지분유 3%, 물 50%를 혼합한 단호박 이유식이 가장 높았다.
