Abstract

The main goal of this study was to develop a well-balanced jam with high quality and nutritional value from dates fruits and pumpkin for pre-schoolchildren to improve their health and nutritional status. The developed product was subjected to physicochemical, chemical, color, nutritional, sensory and statistical evaluations. From the main results obtained in this study, the newly developed jam product was found to have high quality and appreciable amounts of minerals (650.56 K, 126.06 Ca, 4.21 Fe and 1.24 Zn mg/100 g), beta-carotene (175.4 μg/100 g) and energy contents (307.26 kcal/100 g) to meet partially the daily-recommended nutrients for young children. In addition to that, the product was found within the recommended levels of total soluble solids (70.19%), pH (3.33), acidity (0.79%) and viscosity (1806 Cp) of jam specifications and was highly preferred by the panelists. Therefore, it can be concluded that the newly developed jam product could be used as a healthy food for young children to reduce their energy, minerals and vitamin deficiencies in young children, especially in the Kingdom and other Gulf countries

学龄前儿童红枣南瓜果酱的生产和质量评估

这项研究的主要目的是用红枣和南瓜为学龄前儿童开发一种营养价值高、质量均衡的果酱，以改善他们的健康和营养状况。对开发的产品进行了理化、色泽、营养、感官和统计评估。从本研究获得的主要结果来看，新开发的果酱产品具有高质量和可观的矿物质含量（650.56 K、126.06 Ca、4.21 Fe 和 1.24 Zn mg/100g）、β-胡萝卜素含量（175.4 μg/100 g）和能量含量（307.26 kcal/100 g），部分满足幼儿每日推荐营养素的要求。此外，该产品的总可溶性固形物（70.19%）、pH 值（3.33）、酸度（0.79%）和粘度（1806 Cp）均符合果酱规格的建议水平，受到专家小组成员的青睐。因此，可以得出结论，新开发的果酱产品可用作幼儿的健康食品，以减少幼儿能量、矿物质和维生素的缺乏，尤其是在沙特王国和其他海湾国家。
