Abstract

Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism that occurs in the body. Increased uric acid levels are more common in men, while in women, uric acid levels tend to be normal and will increase after entering menopause. This is because women have more estrogen, which is uricosuric, which triggers the excretion of more uric acid through urine. Uric acid levels can be lowered by consuming water because water can dilute and dissolve uric acid, making it easier for the kidneys to excrete uric acid from the body through urine. This study aims to determine the uric acid levels of postmenopausal women who consume 2 liters of water per day. This research uses cross sectional method. In this study, 23 menopausal women respondents in RT.001 Simpang Fixed Darul Ichsan Village were asked to consume 2 liters of water/day for 2 weeks. The results showed that the average uric acid level before consuming 2 liters of water/day was 6.587 ± 0.3266 mg/dL, while after consuming 2 liters of water it was 5.013 ± 0.7594 mg/dL. The results of the dependent t test were found to be significant, namely P value 0.000 0.05. This shows that there is a significant difference in uric acid levels in postmenopausal women before and after consuming 2 liters of water/day. From the research that has been done, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between uric acid levels in menopausal women before and after consuming 2 liters of water/day.Keywords: Uric Acid, Menopause, Water

Abstract

Dragon fruit is one of the plants that has a high antioxidant content. Consumption of red dragon fruit only utilizes the fruit, while the skin waste which amounts to 30-35% of the fruit weight is underutilized. This study aims to determine whether the addition of red dragon fruit peel flour in cereal foods can increase antioxidant content using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. The inhibition power against oxidation through the antioxidant content test of red dragon fruit peel flour is 50.84%, and the inhibition power against oxidation obtained through the antioxidant content test of red dragon fruit peel flour and cereal is 25.83%. The sensory test results conducted on the taste test of 20 untrained panelists proved that the red dragon fruit peel flour could be well received by the panelists. The antioxidant inhibition level which is not too high with a value of 51% provides an opportunity for red dragon fruit peel as a natural antioxidant ingredient in food. The test results of the addition of red dragon fruit peel flour still have potential as a food additive that contains antioxidants and can be well received by people. Keywords: Dragon Fruit, Antioxidants, Cereals

Abstract

Anthocyanins are one of the natural color pigments in plants that have an important physiological function that can be used as a detector of synthetic substances that exceed the limit, especially the use of sodium nitrite in processed meat. Anthocyanins are found in purple sweet potatoes. Therefore, this study aims to maximize the use of Purple Sweet Potato skin as a biosensor of chemical content in food. This type of research is a descriptive research with quantitative laboratory testing using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer test and a qualitative test using whatmann filter paper No.42 as an indicator. The observed parameter was a discoloration that occurred on whatmann filter paper No.42 before and after dripping the tested sodium nitrite solution. The results showed that the skin of Purple Sweet Potato had anthocyanin levels of 119.56 mg / 100 grams, and from the six samples tested, there was no use of sodium nitrite that exceeded the threshold because after dripping the sample juice occurred a light light purple color on the indicator paper that did not show a discoloration to the positive control dripped sodium nitrite concentration of 5% and 10% which was dark blue. So the results show that purple sweet potato skin anthocyanins have the potential to be developed as natural biosensors for testing the content of chemicals in food, specifically in detecting the use of sodium nitrite that exceeds the threshold in processed meat products.  Keywords:      Anthocyanins, Purple Sweet Potato Skin, Sodium Nitrite, Processed Meats

Abstract

Blood glucose levels are closely related to diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a non-communicable disease where sufferers cannot automatically regulate glucose levels in their blood. Diabetes mellitus is also a chronic disease characterized by increased blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). Lack of sleep can affect the function of the endocrine system, especially in impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, and reduced insulin response, so that poor sleep quality can have an impact on student health and academic achievement. The aim of this research was to determine blood glucose levels in final year students of the D-III Health Analyst study program at Abdurrab University. The method used in this research is Point Of Care Testing (POCT) which uses capillary blood samples. The research results showed that 24 respondents had normal blood glucose levels, and 6 respondents had abnormal blood glucose levels. It can be concluded that respondents who have abnormal levels are because they often consume energy drinks  when  staying  up  late,  while  normal  respondents  do  not consume energy drinks.Keywords: Temporary Blood Glucose, Diabetes, Students
