This study was designed to determine the most suitable manufacturing conditions of stewed pumpkin juice(SPJ) in terms of nutrition and taste. Well ripened pumpkin was heated for 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 hours in a pressure cooker and then extracted and packed in retort pouches. These were kept at 4$^{circ}C$ and 28$^{circ}C$ for 30 days, respectively and changes of the physicochemical components of SPJ were investigated. The free amino acid compositions of pumpkin and SPJ occupied asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamine, arginine and serine in increasing order of abundance. Except SPJ heated for 3 hours, SPJ stored at 28$^{circ}C$ had the most abundant free amino acids, followed by SPJ stored at 4$^{circ}C$, and SPJ not stored. The fatty acid composition of pumpkin occupied behenic acid, erucic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid, heneicosanoic aicd, in order of abundance. When SPJ was heated over 3 hours, palmitic acid and linolenic acid decreased greatly. SPJ stored at 4$^{circ}C$ and 28$^{circ}C$ increased contents of saturated fatty acids such as behenic acid, palmitic acid than SPJ not stored. As SPJ was heated for a long time, carotenoid was mostly destroyed and the Hunter "L", "a" and "b" values of SPJ decreased. Among the mineral constituents of SPJ, Na and Ca were dominantly occupied. It was found that the range of the total visible cell count was 3~4CFU/ml from the SPJ which was heated for 3 hours and it increased by 1$ imes$109CFU/ml when the SPJ was stored at 28$^{circ}C$. It seems that the contamination by microorganism have occurred at packing process. In sensory evaluation, the SPJ which was heated for 5 hours had the highest scores in overall preference, sweet smell and sweetness.ce, sweet smell and sweetness.
