In this study, snacks forming a part of the meal menu in childcare centers were first analyzed with a focus on chewing. The analysis was performed by classifying the food according to the amount of masticatory muscle action required. Approximately 15% of the snacks supplied in childcare centers are gel-like, whereas 32% are small-sized chewy foods such as fruits, cakes, and cookies. Thus, it became evident that approximately half of the foods supplied for snacking are mostly those that do not require much masticatory strength. Next, regarding commercial goodies supplied at kindergartens that provide extended day-care services with no cooking facilities, we investigated the chewiness of commercial sweets by using texture measurement values that are positively correlated with the amount of masticatory muscle action required. The texture measurement values of the commercial sweets supplied at the kindergartens ranged from 1.00 to 3.26(T.U.), showing that foods with substantial chewiness are not being supplied. Currently, the decreased masticatory ability of young children poses a concern. However, the snacks supplied at childcare centers, kindergartens are foods with low chewiness. The snacks supplied to young children at pre-schools should enable the child to encounter various tastes and hardness of foodstuffs, and provide a beneficial opportunity to broaden their repertoire of food. Thus, various types of snacks should be supplied to young children at these facilities.}, pages = {179--184}, title = {咀嚼に着目した間食における給食献立の分析}, volume = {40}, year = {2018} }
