Abstract

This study explores the uniqueness of Mandailing traditional cuisine, focusing on the cultural and nutritional significance of its iconic smoked fish dishes, such as smoked fish rendang, smoked fish curry, smoked fish with chili sauce, and smoked fish with vegetables. These dishes showcase the traditional fish smoking practices developed as a preservation method, allowing the Mandailing community to adapt to the abundance of rivers and natural resources in their highland environment. Smoking fish not only extended its shelf life but also became a cornerstone of Mandailing culinary identity, reflecting the community’s ingenuity and resourcefulness. Mandailing cuisine is deeply influenced by neighboring culinary traditions from West Sumatra and North Tapanuli, resulting in a rich fusion of bold flavors, often characterized using coconut milk and fresh spices. The preparation of smoked fish combines traditional high-heat cooking techniques with unique flavor profiles that distinguish Mandailing dishes from other Indonesian cuisines. This research highlights the importance of Mandailing smoked fish practices in sustaining local food systems and preserving cultural heritage. By emphasizing both cultural and nutritional aspects, it underlines the relevance of these traditional practices in promoting food diversity, environmental sustainability, and the recognition of Indonesia’s rich culinary landscape.

Abstract

Background: Football is a sport that combines aerobic and anaerobic endurance during training and matches. Physical fitness can support blood circulation function and heart work and increase muscle strength, speed, agility, and explosiveness. Muscle fatigue can be affected by various internal and external factors, including physiological, nutritional, exercise, psychological, environmental, and health factors. One of the nutritional factors that can affect muscle fatigue is micronutrients such as potassium. Potassium and vitamin C deficiency can lead to muscle weakness and fatigue. Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the difference in the effect of giving isotonic drinks and sweet orange juice on the fatigue level of North Sumatra PPLP football athletes. Method: The research design is true experimental, with the post-test only with a control group design. The subjects consisted of 24 athletes who were selected using systematic random sampling. The level of fatigue is known through the RAST test. Bivariate analysis uses an independent sample t-test to determine the difference in influence between each variable. Results: As a result of this study, there was a significant difference in fatigue levels in the two groups. The average fatigue level value in the treatment group was 4.61±1.42, while the control group was 6.62±2.33 or the Sig. p<0.05 value was p = 0.01. Conclusion: This showed a significant difference in the mean level of athlete fatigue between the treatment group and the control group.

Abstract

Background: Flakes are widely consumed cereals, but their formulation often produces high glycemic index (GI) values. Rice flour, a common base, may elevate postprandial glucose, while coconut flour, rich in dietary fiber, can lower glycemic response and improve nutritional value. Objectives: This study aimed to identify the best formulation of rice flour–coconut flour flakes and to evaluate the glycemic index and glycemic load of the selected formula. Methods: Flakes were prepared in three ratios: F1 (75:25), F2 (50:50), and F3 (25:75). Proximate composition, dietary fiber, physical properties, and sensory attributes were assessed to determine the selected formula. Glycemic index testing was performed on 10 healthy adults according to Indonesian National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM) guidelines, using glucose as reference. Capillary blood glucose was measured at 0–120 minutes, and glycemic load was calculated from GI and available carbohydrate. Results: Increasing coconut flour significantly raised dietary fiber (p-value=0.000), with F3 showing the highest content (48.51%). Sensory evaluation indicated F2 (50:50) was most acceptable, with higher scores for aroma, texture, and overall liking. F2 also showed moderate resistance compared to F1 and F3. GI testing of F2 yielded a low GI value of 49, while the glycemic load was also low at 4.9 per serving. Conclusions: The incorporation of coconut flour improved the nutritional and functional quality of rice flour flakes. F2 (50:50) was the best formulation, producing flakes with favorable acceptance and low glycemic response, supporting its potential as a healthier cereal product.

Abstract

Kefir is a probiotic drink that can be produced from dairy and non-dairy ingredients. Old coconut water (Cocos nucifera L.), which is often discarded as waste, can be used as a raw material for kefir production because it still has potential nutritional value for fermentation media. This study aims to identify the sensory and physicochemical characteristics of kefir made from old coconut water. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with starter concentration treatments consisting of two levels, namely 5% and 10% starter concentration, each conducted with two replicates. The parameters observed were sensory parameters, including color, aroma, taste, viscosity, and soda sensation, while physicochemical parameters included pH, viscosity, total dissolved solids, alcohol, protein, fat, ash, total sugar, and carbohydrates. Sensory evaluation showed that kefir made from old coconut water with a starter concentration of 5% had a higher acceptance level among panelists. Furthermore, the physicochemical characteristics of aged coconut water kefir at starter concentrations of 5% and 10% showed a pH ranging from 4.13 to 4.47, viscosity of 38.6 to 39.0 mP.s, total dissolved solids of 9.3 to 9.8°Brix, alcohol content of 4.16 to 4.95%, protein content of 0.35-0.38%, fat content of 0.58-2.17%, ash content of 0.19-0.27%, total sugar content of 4.15%-5.27%, and carbohydrate content of 3.74-4.74%. This study provides an overview of the sensory and physicochemical characteristics of kefir made from aged coconut water as a non-dairy fermentation medium.

Abstract

Plant-based yogurt made from coconut milk has potential as an alternative to dairy yogurt for individuals with lactose intolerance while promoting the utilization of local food resources. This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical, microbiological, and antioxidant characteristics of coconut milk yogurt supplemented with nipa palm fruit (Nypa fruticans) puree. An experimental study was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design with three puree concentrations (20%, 25%, and 30%). Parameters analyzed included fat content, non-fat solids, protein, ash content, pH, titratable acidity, viscosity, Total Plate Count (TPC), and antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test at a 5% significance level. The addition of nipa palm fruit puree did not significantly affect fat, non-fat solids, protein, ash, pH, or acidity, but significantly influenced viscosity, TPC, and antioxidant activity. Increasing puree concentration tended to enhance viscosity and antioxidant activity; however, TPC values did not meet the national yogurt standard. Coconut milk yogurt enriched with nipa palm fruit puree shows potential as a functional food product based on local ingredients.
