Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between mothers' nutritional knowledge, dietary intake of children, and under-five nutritional status in Ranto Panyang, Meureubo Sub-district, West Aceh. Despite varied economic conditions, malnutrition persists, highlighting the critical role of maternal knowledge in determining children's nutrition outcomes. Employing a cross-sectional quantitative design, this study surveyed mothers in 2023 to assess their understanding of nutrition and its effects on child health. Findings reveal that 52.4% of mothers possess adequate nutritional knowledge, while 47.6% demonstrate limited awareness. A statistically significant association (p<0.05) was identified between maternal knowledge and the nutritional status of under-fives, suggesting that improved maternal education could positively impact child nutrition. These results underscore the necessity of targeted educational initiatives, particularly in regions with high malnutrition rates, to empower mothers with essential nutrition knowledge and foster healthier communities.

Abstract

Tofu a widely consumed and affordable food, is traditionally made using acetic acid as a coagulant. This study explores the use of kaffir lime and musk lime juice as natural coagulants due to their availability, affordability, and high acidity. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) factorial approach was applied to assess the effects of lime type (kaffir lime and musk lime) and juice concentration (5%, 10%, and 15%) on tofu quality, focusing on water content, protein content, and organoleptic properties (color, aroma, texture, and overall acceptability). Water content decreased with higher lime concentrations, while protein content peaked at 10% musk lime juice (19.18%). Organoleptic tests showed tofu made with 10% and 15% musk lime juice was preferred over kaffir lime. Statistical analysis using ANOVA and Duncan's Multiple Range Test confirmed significant effects (p-value < 0.05). The findings suggest that musk lime juice, particularly at 10% and 15% concentrations, is an effective natural coagulant, producing tofu with better nutritional quality and consumer appeal compared to kaffir lime juice.
