Chemical characteristic of steamed pumpkin brownies premix flour

Brownies are a kind of cake that contains flour, fat, sugar, and egg. Generally, brownies are characterized by brown color and do not need leavening agents. The objective of this study was to analyze the chemical content of steamed pumpkin brownies premix flour with various formulations. The pumpkin flour was manufactured by using a food dehydrator machine. Pumpkin flour manufacturing condition immersed in metabisulfite solution for 23,05 minutes and dried for 11, 4 hours at 850C.The pumpkin flour substitution level were 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% dan 100%, by wheat flour portion. The result showed that pumpkin flour substitution on the steamed pumpkin brownies premix flour formulation had a significant effect on its chemical characteristic. The result showed that steamed pumpkin brownies premix flour had 6.47% - 7.26% moisture content, 3.06% - 6.02% ash, 4.78% - 8.4% fat, 5.95% 8.78% protein, and 72.54% - 78.49% of carbohydrate.
