Abstract

Blood that contains less iron can cause anemia. This nutritional case is the most common in almost all countries, including Indonesia. Female adolescents are more at risk of anemia due to stress, eating late, and losing large amounts of iron during menstruation. One part of the moringa plant (Moringa oleifera), namely the leaves, is believed to increase hemoglobin levels. The method of attracting adolescents to moringa leaf is by processing the moringa leaf becomes a snack called moringa leaf cilok. This research aims to determine the hemoglobin level of adolescent girls who experience anemia before and after being given moringa leaves cilok. This is experimental research with one group pre-post test design from October to November 2021 in Mataram. The subjects in this research are female adolescents with anemia who met the sample criteria. The sample used is n1=n2=32 respondents. The treatment group received moringa leaf cilok and was controlled tablets by giving iron tablets. The data collected was processed by a nonparametric test. The results show an effect of giving moringa leaf cilok on the hemoglobin levels of adolescent girls (p>0.05). The content of iron and vitamin C in moringa leaves cilok has increased hemoglobin levels. This research concludes that moringa leaf cilok can increase hemoglobin levels in female adolescents. Therefore, consuming moringa leaves cilok regularly can be used to treat anemia.

Abstract

Latar belakang: WHO merekomendasikan penggunaan obat tradisional untuk memelihara kesehatan. Sebagian besar ibu menyusui menggunakan daun katuk untuk meningkatkan produksi ASI dengan cara disayur bening, tetapi kejadian ASI kurang masih tinggi. Cara pengolahan yang kurang tepat dapat mengurangi efek manfaat daun katuk.Tujuan: Untuk menentukan pengaturan api kompor gas pada proses pembuatan dan skrining senyawa alkaloid dan steroid sayur bening daun katuk.Metode: Pembuatan dan skrining senyawa alkaloid dan steroid sayur bening daun katuk dilakukan dua kali. Pembuatan pertama, daun katuk dimasak dengan api besar dan kedua dengan api kecil. Skrining alkaloid menggunakan pereaksi Mayer dan Dragendorff, sedangkan steroid dengan pereaksi asam asetat, anhidrat, dan H2SO4 pekat.Hasil: Berdasakan hasil penelitian, sayur bening yang dimasak dengan api besar mengandung senyawa steroid, sedangkan sayur bening yang dimasak dengan api kecil mengandung senyawa alkaloid dan steroid. Perbedaan kandungan senyawa disebabkan suhu yang ditimbulkan api besar jauh lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan api kecil. Alkaloid bersifat tidak tahan panas. Senyawa alkaloid dan steroid berperan dalam meningkatkan produksi ASI. Kesimpulan: Sayur bening yang dibuat dengan api kecil memiliki kandungan senyawa alkaloid dan steroid yang berperan dalam meningkatkan produksi ASI. Oleh karena itu, disarankan memasak sayur bening dengan api kecil untuk meningkatkan produksi ASI.Saran : Bagi masyarakat untuk membuat sayur bening daun katuk menggunakan api kecil sehingga tidak merusak kandungan senyawa alkaloid dan steroid. Senyawa tersebut berperan dalam meningkatkan produksi ASI. Kata Kunci: Daun katuk, Kompor gas, Sayur Bening. ABSTRACT Background: World Health Organization recommends the use of traditional medicine to maintain health. Some breastfeeding mothers use katuk leaves to increase milk production by means of 3 vegetable dish, but the incidence of insufficient breast milk is still high. Improper processing methods can reduce the beneficial effects of katuk leaves.Purpose To know determine the setting of the gas stove fire in the process of making katuk leaf dish and screening for phytochemical compounds (alkaloids and steroids) of katuk leaf dish.Method: The manufacture and screening of alkaloids and steroids compounds in katuk leaf dish was carried out twice. The first preparation, the katuk leaves are cooked over high heat and the second is cooked over low heat. Screening for alkaloids using Mayer and Dragendorff reagents, while steroids with acetic acid, anhydrous, and concentrated H2SO4 as reagents.Results: Based on the research results, vegetable dish cooked on high heat contain steroid compounds, while vegetable dish cooked over low heat contain alkaloids and steroid compounds. The difference in compound content is due to the temperature caused by a large fire which is much higher than that of a small fire. Alkaloids are not heat resistant. Alkaloids and steroid compounds play a role in increasing the milk production.Conclusion: Vegetable dish made on low heat contain alkaloids and steroid compounds that play a role in increasing breast milk production. Therefore, it is recommended to cook vegetable dish on low heat for increasing breast milk.Suggestion for the community to make vegetable dish with katuk leaves using low heat so that it does not damage the content of alkaloids and steroid compounds. These compounds play a role in increasing the production of breast milk. Keywords: Vegetable dish, Gas stove, Katuk leaves.

Abstract

Infant and toddler mortality rates are still high in Indonesia. The high mortality rate in Indonesia is caused by nutritional factors. Exclusive breastfeeding is able to reduce infant mortality, but the achievement of exclusive breastfeeding is still below the scope. Insufficient milk production is one of the causes of the low achievement of exclusive breastfeeding. In Indonesia, there are many plants that can promote breast milk, but cases of insufficient milk production are still high. The use of local plants as breast milk stimulants must be supported by comprehensive information so that they have a beneficial effect. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct health education on the use of local plants as breast milk promoters. The activity of providing health education on the use of local plants as an effort to increase breast milk production was carried out in Terong Tawah Village, Labuapi District, West Lombok Regency on November 8, 2021 and was attended by 09 respondents. The results of the participants' pretest and posttest showed an increase in knowledge about the use of local plants as an effort to increase breast milk production. After this community service activity, it is expected that pregnant women, especially pregnant women in the third trimester, can begin to apply all the material obtained about the use of local plants as breast milk, as an effort to prepare for breastfeeding.

Abstract

Latar belakang: Angka kematian merupakan salah satu indikator kesehatan yang penting dan mencerminkan derajat kesehatan di suatu wilayah. Angka Kematian Bayi (AKB) di Indonesia masih tinggi Angka kematian bayi sebagian besar disebabkan oleh faktor nutrisi. Beberapa penyakit yang timbul akibat malnutrisi antara lain pneumonia, diare, dan perinatal. Pemberian Air Susu Ibu (ASI) eksklusif mampu menurunkan angka kesakitan dan kematian bayi. Alasan yang paling sering ditemukan pada ibu menyusui yang menghentikan pemberian ASI yaitu karena produksi ASI yang kurang. Pemanfaatan tanaman/sayuran yang berfungsi sebagai  galaktogogue dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif untuk meningkatkan  produksi  ASI. Daun kelor merupakan salah satu tanaman yang sering digunakan masyarakat untuk meningkatkan produksi ASI.Tujuan: Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu mengidentifikasi kandungan alkaloid dan steroid pada daun kelor sebagai upaya untuk melancarkan produksi ASI.Metode: Metode dalam penelitian ini yaitu melakukan uji laboratorium  pada daun kelor segar berwarna hijau muda sampai hijau agak tua sebanyak 100 gram. Skrining alkaloid menggunakan pereaksi Mayer dan Dragendorff, sedangkan steroid dengan pereaksi asam asetat, anhidrat, dan H2SO4 pekat.Hasil: Hasil penelitian didapatkan daun kelor (Moringa oleifera) menunjukkan terdapat kandungan senyawa alkaloid dan steroid.Simpulan: Pemanfaatan daun kelor merupakan salah satu alternatif yang dapat digunakan untuk mengatasi masalah produksi ASI yang kurang, selain murah dan mudah didapatkan.Saran: Peneliti selanjutnya disarankan dapat melakukan penelitian terkait inovasi pengembangan pengolahan daun kelor terhadap kelancaran ASI yang langsung diaplikasikan pada ibu-ibu menyusui untuk mencegah kegagalan pemberian ASI eksklusif karena produksi ASI kurang. Kata Kunci: Daun kelor, Alkaloid dan Steroid ABSTRACT Background: The mortality rate is an important health indicator and reflects the degree of health in an area. The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in Indonesia is still high. The infant mortality rate is largely due to nutritional factors. A number ofdiseaseSymptoms that arise due to malnutrition include pneumonia, diarrhea, and perinatal. Exclusive breastfeeding can reduce infant morbidity and mortality. The most common reason found in breastfeeding mothers who stop breastfeeding is due to insufficient milk production. Utilization of plants/vegetables that function as galactogogue can be used as an alternative to increase milk production. Moringa leaves are one of the plants that people often use to increase milk production.Purpose:The purpose of this study was to identify the alkaloid and steroid content in Moringa leaves as an effort to expedite milk production.Method: The method in this study namelyu did a laboratory test on fresh colored moringa leavesgreenyoung to slightly dark green as much as 100 grams. Alkaloid screening used Mayer's and Dragendorff's reagents, while steroids used acetic acid, anhydrous and concentrated H2SO4 reagents.Results: The results showed that the leaves of Moringa (Moringa oleifera) showed the presence of alkaloid and steroid compounds.Conclusion:Utilization of Moringa leaves is an alternative that can be used to overcome the problem of insufficient milk production, besides being cheap and easy to obtain.Suggestions:Further researchers are advised to conduct research related to the innovation of developing moringa leaf processing for the smoothness of breast milk which is directly applied to breastfeeding mothers to prevent failure of exclusive breastfeeding due to insufficient milk production. Keywords: Moringa leaves, Alkaloids and Steroids
