Abstract
The article presents analytical data on the content of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber in complementary foods for children from 4 months and for pregnant women. 37 samples of cereals from various manufacturers and 4 samples of porridge for pregnant women were analyzed. These products were developed on the basis of buckwheat, wheat, rice, corn and oat flour, with or without the addition of milk powder, and with or without the addition of flavoring ingredients: apple, peach, banana, apricot, quince, pumpkin. As the results of the study showed, the total content of dietary fiber (DF) in the samples under study varied greatly from 0.6% («Malych» (Istra, rice flour) up to 21.6% («Heinz, Mom's porridge», based on buckwheat flour), which depended on the quantitative composition of complementary foods and the type of flour introduced, as well as on the availability of milk and flavor fillers. In the samples of cereals of the «Malych» series, with the same percentage of bookmarks in the recipe composition of cereal flour, the total content of DF was 0.6, 1.3 and 2.25% for rice, buckwheat and oat flour, respectively. In the samples of cereals of the «Heinz» series, the total DF content was 5.4% based on corn flour, 10.0% with rice, 10.5% with wheat and 16.3% each with buckwheat and oat flour. The addition of fruit additives to the recipe leads to an increase in the DF content in the product from 13.1% («Heinz» buckwheat flour with apple) to 18.6% («Heinz» buckwheat flour with quince). In a series of Heinz porridges based on oatmeal with various flavorings, the results of the study were: without filler - the total content of DF was 16.3%; with the addition of apple - 17.9% and with the addition of apricot and apple - 19.7%. In multi-cereal porridges, the total content of dietary fiber ranged from 4.4% «Porridge of seven cereals» to 10.1% «Milk porridge of three cereals with a banana».
