Abstract

Nutritional support consists of two types, namely commercial enteral formula and blenderized. A local food ingredient with potential application as an enteral formula is referred to yellow pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata). Yellow pumpkin contains a source of carotenoids which play a significant role in forming pro-vitamin A. However, it is sensitive to heat. The study aimed to analyze β-Carotene levels in yellow pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) as an enteral substitution with various grinding times using a blender. The study employed an experimental with a single-factor completely randomized design (CRD) with three variations of blending time (30, 60, and 90 s). The data was normal (p ≥ 0.05), and the One-Way Anova test was subsequently conducted at a significant level of 95% for the statistical analysis. The β-carotene levels of the enteral with three blending times from the lowest time included 4.75 mcg/100 g, 4.32 mcg/100 g, and 4.11 mcg/100 g, which respectively had (p = 0.00). As the substitution of the enteral, the yellow pumpkin showed a higher level of β-carotene with variations of blending time of 30 s. The longer the blending time, the lower the impact of the β-carotene level.
