Abstract

Low birth weight (LBW) is still a major problem in developing countries including Indonesia. The prevalence of LBW tends to decrease from 2013-2018, from 8.6% to 6.51%. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the relationship between maternal age at pregnancy and household income with the incidence of low birth weight. The type of the study was analytic observational with quantitative method. The population in this study were all mothers who had children aged 6-24 months who resided in West Aceh District and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria by means of simple random sampling. The dependent variable of this study was LB W while the independent variables were maternal age during pregnancy and family income. The risk tendency for each variable was seen using the OR (odds ratio) value which used a Confidence Interval of 95%. The results showed that there was a significant relationship (p=0.049) between the two variables. The amount of household income influences the quality of the mother's health and nutrition intake during pregnancy impacts the weight and health of the child born.

Abstract

Biscuit is a type of dry food that is popular among the community. In the making of biscuits, additional ingredients are added to increase nutritional value, such as the addition of purple yam tuber. Purple yam contains high levels of carbohydrates and calories. Its carbohydrate content has a high amylose level of 26.98-31.02%. One of the food products that can be made into a healthy snack with high fiber and nutritional value is biscuits. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of adding purple yam flour to the acceptability of biscuits as a high fiber snack. This study is experimental using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) Non-Factorial with 3 treatments and 3 replications. To influence acceptability, sensory tests were conducted on taste, aroma, texture, and color using 25 panelists. The results showed that the acceptability of biscuits with the addition of purple yam flour from the color aspect was most preferred by panelists in treatment A (150 g) compared to B (125 g) and C (100). The addition of purple yam flour has no significant effect on taste, aroma, and texture, while there is a significant effect on color.
