The reading and meaning of the TargumJob passage are uncertain.
The meaning "mush" is probably the source of the rare late Akkadian parūru, given in the CAL as "a form of malt". Kwasman "Loanwords"(2015):349 connects the two, assuming of course that Akkadian is the source, but misidentifies the related meaning as that of "glue".
