Abstract

COMPLEMENTARY FOOD DEVELOPMENT BASED ON PUPAE-MULBERRY (PURY)

Proper complementary feeding are well recognized as necessary to ensure optimal growth and
development during the early years, however are often inadequate in energy density, protein and
micronutrient concentration. The aim of the study is to develop pury-formula complementary foods
for infant aged 6-9 moths and to analyze nutrition quality and food safety. A silkworm pupae was a
major constituents used as materials which was processed to be a fine powder, called “PURY”.
Methods: mix all ingredients consist of 16.6% red rice flour, 16.6% tempe powder, 16.6% formula milk
powder, 25% fine sugar cane and 25% pury. Results and finding: Per 100 g Pury-formula contain 426
kcal energy, 20.0% protein, 11.2% fat included linoleat and linolenat; vitamin A,E, B groups and
mineral such as Fe, Ca, Zinc, Iodine and Se. Conclusion: Pury-formula complementary food is better
than commercial product and as well as Health Department guidance. It has a well balanced amount
of energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat included long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) that
are essential for the brain and optimal growth of infants. Recommendation: Pury-formula can be an
alternate nutritious complementary food for infants undernourished.
