A brief summary is as follows:
1.6 months later, the baby can gradually contact the edible fruit puree. It is suggested to add from single flavor to multiple flavors.
2. Although the baby puree is not a product with high free sugar, we should also pay attention to the problem of sugar intake, and pay attention to the products containing "juice (concentrated juice)" in the ingredient list.
3. The "0 addition" of puree products is more of a marketing gimmick, but in fact, most products are not added.
4, buy organic or non-organic, it is recommended to look at the types of fruits, there are some kinds of fruits, the probability of organic pesticide residues may be lower.
In the second part of this time, silly dad will test the specific brand products of the puree to see how to choose the baby puree and whether the sugar content is high or not. How much is the best to eat a day?
I. Sample evaluation
Second, the evaluation index
Third, the evaluation results
Fourth, comprehensive suggestions.
(sample map)
Sample description:
1. In this sample selection, on the basis of sales volume and brand awareness, based on the results of fan voting, most samples with single taste and apple as the main component were selected.
2. Among the purees of 10, five purees are organic, namely, Xibao, Shibei, Bellamy, Xiao Pi and Grandpa's farm.
3. As for the applicable age, Garbo Blue suit is suitable for infants over 36 months, Bellamy is suitable for infants over 4 months, and the applicable age of other 8 kinds of fruit labels is over 6 months.
Silly dad noticed that the original packaging of this protoplasm in Ella's kitchen was written for more than 4 months, but it was adjusted with other stickers and changed to more than 6 months. need to pay attention to
In the previous fan voting, these two products received great attention from everyone, so they were also selected this time.
4. Among 10 puree, Fangguang is the only product named after "puree" instead of "puree". Stupid dad doesn't recommend choosing "juice puree" for the baby. This time, in order to compare the sugar content of "juice puree" and "fruit puree", I chose this one.
1, key problem: sugar
2. Important nutritional indicators: dietary fiber and vitamin C content.
3. Old problem: sodium content
4. Sensory evaluation
In the first part, we mentioned that the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that sugar should be banned in complementary foods for infants and children, and the daily intake of free sugar should be controlled.
The "sugar" of free sugar refers to monosaccharide and disaccharide, which can be quickly absorbed by human body in food. Although they have different metabolic pathways in the body, they all have adverse effects on health.
In food, fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose and lactose account for the vast majority of sugar.
Fruit puree is the product of fruit after processing and crushing. After the cell wall of fruit is destroyed, the sugar in it is easier to be digested and absorbed by human body, so it also belongs to free sugar in a strict sense.
So, silly dad detected the content of five monosaccharides or disaccharides in 10 puree, and calculated the sugar content (total sugar), which is roughly equal to the content of free sugar in puree.
The test results are as follows:
Evaluation:
1, maltose and lactose generally do not exist in fruit puree. In the puree, the most important sugar is fructose, followed by glucose and sucrose. These three sugars are naturally contained in fruits, and generally no extra sugar (sucrose/white sugar) is added to the fruit puree.
2. According to the test data, Silly Dad calculated the actual sugar content of each bag of 10 products as follows:
What does this sugar content mean? Let's take a look at WHO's recommended data on infant free sugar intake.
In contrast, for babies aged 0.5~ 1 year:
The content of banana puree in a bag of Xibao organic apples is close to the strong recommendation of WHO (
