Abstract

An increase up to 50% in blood volume during pregnancy leads to a heightened demand for vitamin C and iron, which are essential for supporting erythrocyte formation and facilitating iron absorption. One plant rich in vitamins A, B, C, and bioavailable iron is Moringa leaves. Moringa leaf flour can be utilized as a substitute ingredient in various food products, including crackers. This study was conducted to examine the effect of substituting Moringa oleifera leaf flour on the iron and vitamin C content of cracker products. An experimental research design was employed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four substitution levels. Analytical methods were carried out using ICP-OES and HPLC for iron and vitamin C content. The Kruskal-Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney test were utilized to analyze the data obtained from the study. The results indicate that the incorporation of Moringa leaf flour has a significant effect on the iron and vitamin C content of crackers (p ≤ 0.05). Iron content increased at 10% and 15% substitution levels, then decreased at 20% substitution. Vitamin C content decreased as moringa leaf flour substitution increased, from 0.44 mg at 0% substitution to 0.16 mg at 20% substitution. The decrease in vitamin C content was due to high-temperature baking, which caused damage, and exposure to oxygen during molding, triggering oxidation. The iron and vitamin C content in the cracker products was significantly influenced by the substitution of moringa leaf flour.

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women is a nutritional issue that directly contributes to increased maternal and infant morbidity and mortality rates, as well as the overall quality of future generations. Bekonang Village, located in Mojolaban Sub-district, Sukoharjo Regency, is one of the areas still facing significant challenges in preventing CED, as indicated by the low awarene ss among pregnant women regarding the importance of balanced nutrition during pregnancy. This community service activity aimed to improve pregnant women’s knowledge about CED and its prevention through structured and communicative nutrition education. The method consisted of nutrition counseling delivered through interactive lectures, discussions, and leaflet distribution to 30 pregnant women. Knowledge levels were assessed using pre-test and post-test instruments to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge scores after the educational session, indicating the success of the educational approach used. Additionally, participants demonstrated high levels of enthusiasm and active engagement, which contributed to achieving the program’s objectives. Target ed and participatory nutrition education has proven to be an effective strategy for supporting CED prevention at the community level. This activity is expected to serve as a promotive and preventive model that can be replicated in maternal health programs in other regions.
