Abstract

Complementary feeding is used for infants aged 6-24 months to meet nutritional needs other than breast milk. The addition of local food ingredients could increase the nutritional value of instant baby porridge, such as red beans and oyster mushrooms, as a source of protein and fiber. This study was conducted to evaluate instant porridge preference and nutritional contents with red beans and oyster mushrooms. Quasi- experiment completely randomized method was used in this study. There were 3 formulations of porridge based on the composition of rice flour and red bean (60:40, 70:30, and 80:20). All formulas were added with 1 gram of dry oyster mushrooms. Based on an organoleptic test conducted by 25 infant mothers, the ratio of 70:30 was the best formula. This formula contained 39.2 grams of carbohydrates, protein 6.1 grams, 1 gram of fat, and 1.1 grams of fiber per serving. Instant porridge formula 2 fulfils the nutritional needs of infants aged 6-12 months of carbohydrates, protein, fat and fiber, respectively 37.3%, 40.1%, 2.9%, and 10%.
