Abstract

Background: World Health Organization (WHO) recommends breast milk as sole and the most complete infant food during the first 6 months. However, in certain circumstances, when breastfeeding is not possible, not desired or not advised, infant formulas like those are made of soy can be given to newborns. However, the safety of long-term use soy-based formula has been argued due to the possible adverse effects of phytoestrogen, phytates and aluminum in human body as well as the consequences of agrochemicals residue. Therefore, those problems should be taken into account while developing, reviewing or amending policy of infant formulas. This article reviews the adequacy of soy-based infant formula policy in Indonesia to anticipate issues in SIF consumption. Methods: Australian and New Zealand Food Standards Code was used to compared to the decree of Indonesian NADFC. The results were described narratively and analyzed from the perspective of the author. Results: Accordingly, only small aspects of SIF are regulated in Indonesian policy. The use of SPI for SIF in Indonesia is not a compulsory though scientifically another source may trigger diarrhea in newborn baby. No clause related to aluminum content, zinc to copper ratio, isoflavone level, GM soy and pesticide residue found in Indonesian policy. Conclusion: Apparently, very limited provision regarding SIF has been covered by Indonesian policy. The regulation of SIF marketed and manufactured in Indonesia should be more specific and developed based on recent clinical and epidemiological studies. On the other hand, Indonesia needs a comprehensive system where society may participate in reviewing the laws.

Abstract

Abstract – Vegetables contain vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. The body uses a number of vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables as antioxidants or as a defense against dangerous substances. By consuming enough veggies, the risk of developing unhealthy cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure can be reduced. In Indonesia, fruit and vegetable consumption is still on the low side. This study sought to examine how children of school age perceived the benefits of consuming vegetables. Pre-experimental research is being done. Using the "purposive sampling" method, a sample of 26 grade VI SDN students in city X were chosen by answering 20 statement items both before and after taking part in counseling or nutrition instruction regarding serving vegetables to school-age children. One group pretest-posttest was the chosen research design. The "Paired Samples t Test" technique was used to examine the data, and the results were used to quantify the change (gain) in the students' attitude ratings toward the practice of eating vegetables. The findings demonstrated that children of school age had a different attitude about eating vegetables as a result of nutrition instruction. Because knowledge has an impact on attitudes, behaviors, and habits, it is crucial to provide nutrition education. The results of this study should serve as a guide for parents, educators, and the general public as they continue to stress the value of consuming vegetables, particularly for young children attending school.

Abstract

Background: Dayak Ngaju is a sub-ethnic group of the Dayak tribe in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. This group practices cultural practices as an identity, including the food taboo. Objective: This study aimed to explore the food taboo practices among women of Ngaju Dayaknese living in Central Kalimantan Province. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was employed. A total of 12 informants were included, consisting of three pregnant women and two breastfeeding women as the main informants, five relatives of each woman, a midwife, and an ethnic leader. The in-depth interview was done in the study of Kartamulya Village, Sukamara District, Central Kalimantan Province. Content analysis was used for data analysis.  Results: All the women were of reproductive age. Types of foods and dishes that are categorized as taboo include unripe pineapple, durian, chempedak, jackfruit; gourami (kalui), catfish/lele, puffer fish/buntal, wallago/tapah, snakehead fish/kerandang, marble goby/bakut/betutu, forest snakehead fish/jujung, shark catfish/patin; luffa gourd/gambas/oyong, bamboo shoots, stinky beans/jengkol; and soda. The food taboo for breastfeeding mothers was not described in detail. Conclusion: There was no reason to accept the scientific aspects of avoiding those foods rationally. Restricting the consumption of food during pregnancy and breastfeeding might have the risk of being anemic. Further study can include the anemia assessment to examine the impact of food taboo practices and anemia. Stakeholders at the village level can collaborate to decrease the negative health impact of food taboo practices on pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.

Abstract

Backgroung : Pindang eggs are traditional egg-processed products using tanneries that will denaturing the egg proteins. Guava leaves, tea pulps, shallot skin and onion skin are comionly used for making pindang eggs as they contain tannin.Objective : This study aimed to analyze the effect of tannin sources on protein content and shelf life of pindang eggs.Method : This study used an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) design to examine the difference between tannin using guava leaves, shallot skin, tea pulp, bombay onion skin with 6 times of repetition. Protein content on pindang eggs processed with onion, guava leaves, tea pulp, and onion skins were 13,0%, 12,95%, 12,90%, and 12,80% respectively.Result : There was a significant effect of the addition of tannin sources on the levels of pindang egg protein (p = 0.000, α = 5%). Pindang  eggs have an average shelf life of 20 days. On the 30th day, almost all of pindang eggs with 4 types of tanneries has deteriorated  while the microbiological tests of  all pindang eggs on the 20th day of bacteria have exceeded SNI requirements. There is a real effect of the decay of each tannin source on the storage time of pindang eggs (p = 0.000, α = 5%). There is an influence from the tannin sources from guava leaver, tea pulp, shallot skin, onion skin on egg protein content. The best treatment was found in shallots with a percentage of protein content reached 13.00%.Conclusion : There is an influence from the source of tannin, guava leaves, tea pulp, shallot skin, onion skin to the durability of pindang eggs. The best treatment for 30 days is found in tea grounds and onion skin while in microbial studies all pindang eggs have exceeded SNI requirements

Abstract

Background: Insufficiency of nutrients intake such as protein and calcium may lead to the incidence of stunting in children under five years. In fact, Indonesia has many local foods like freshwater fish and local fruits which had abundant nutrients. Seluang is a typical Kalimantan freshwater fish contains high protein and calcium. The utilization of seluang fish flour and kepok banana flour as substitution in making cookies will increase the nutritional value of protein and calcium and may reduce the use of wheat flour.Objective: This study aims to analyse the effect of selpis (seluang and banana) flour substitution on protein, calcium, acceptability and organoleptic quality of cookies.Method: Experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD) with five flour substitution treatments: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% was used in this study. The protein content was tested by Kjeldahl method while the calcium content was tested by the AAS method.Results: Most of panelists preferred the original cookies (P1), characterized by yellowish in colour, fresh-baked aroma, slightly tough in texture and sweet-taste. The highest levels of protein and calcium were at P5 (20%) of 12.25% and 5.88 mg / 100 g.Conclusion: The substitution of seluang and kepok banana flours affect protein levels, calcium levels, acceptability (taste, color and aroma) of cookies but does not affect the texture of cookies.

Abstract

Poltekkes Kemenkes Palangka Raya in collaboration with Indonesian Scholars' Alliance and Global Health Management Journal (GHMJ) successfully held the first international seminar on November 9, 2020. The seminar which took place online in the midst of the raging Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic raised the theme "The New Normal: Creating A Pleasant Virtual Communication”. Five speaker from four countries namely Prof Andrew J. Macnab (Canada), Sr. Merceditas O. Ang, SPC (Philippines), Eva Berthy Tallutondok, M.Sc. (Taiwan), Dr. Yeyentimalla (Poltekkes Kemenkes Palangka Raya, Indonesia), and Prof. Sri Suryawati (Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia) synergizes to convey ideas on how to create fun virtual communication actors. During the pandemic, we do not communicate face-to face, but instead switch to communication using technological devices and chating application. Adequate understanding is needed to be able to communicate with other people virtually where messages are conveyed well and at the same time happy. The journey to the seminar in about four months presents a variety of emotions with negative and positive valences. For example, how to create a seminar participant and photo essays registration website with an inexperienced committee and communication is done virtually. In many ways we argued loudly. This level of difficulty is quite high. Virtual communication is different from face-to-face. We have to be more selective with words because intonation and gesture are absent in communication via WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. We optimize virtual communication right before we teach it to seminar attendees! This is so much fun! Pandemic may isolate our body, not our ideas. The international seminar was held on Monday, November 9, 2020, to coincide with the 19th anniversary of the founding of the Poltekkes Kemenkes Palangka Raya. In accordance with the health protocol during the COVID-19 pandemic, the online committee from home and from their respective workspaces does not gather in one room. Seminar participants attended the Zoom room after previously registering through the website. At the end of the registration period, 32 photo essays obtained. The details are 16 photo essays from the Department of Nursing, 9 photo essays from the Department of Midwifery, and 7 photo essays from the Department of Nutrition. On November 9, 2020, after the seminar was over, 9 photo essays winners from 9 categories were announced, and been published at the Global Health Management Journal as 2022's Special Edition, following the standard guidelines for Photo Essays.

Abstract

The Dayak indigenous people of Central Kalimantan have traditionally used native plants as food and medicine to alleviate ailments, boost stamina, and extend life. One of these is the goosegrass or uru lewu plant (Eleusine indica), which is thought to tighten female organs after birth. However, this has not been empirically confirmed. Phytochemical examinations revealed that this plant boasts three chemicals with anticancer properties and two compounds with antioxidant properties because its bioactive component concentration can be formulated into herbal drinks, such as tea. Three tea formulations were developed and evaluated on 100 consumer panelists to determine their sensory perceptions: F1 (100% uru lewu), F2 (80% uru lewu and 20% black tea), and F3 (60% uru lewu and 40% black tea). The IC50 values for Uru Lewu and black tea in the antioxidant activity test using the DPPH technique were 133.77 mg/kg and 345.01 mg/kg, respectively. This suggests that uru lewu had nearly three times the antioxidant activity of black tea. Uru lewu had moderate antioxidant activity (higher than black tea). Based on the tea's color, aroma, and taste, the F3 tea formulation with 60% uru lewu and 40% black tea was the most chosen formulation by consumers.
