Abstract

Introduction: 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. Some diseases 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 such as Moringa Oleifera is often used by the community to increase milk production. The most widely used processing of Moringa Oleifera by nursing mothers is to make it a clear vegetable. The aim of this study was to screen for phytochemicals on the clear vegetables of Moringa Oleifera. Methods: The method in this study was to carry out laboratory tests on clear vegetable Moringa Oleifera consisting of 150 grams of Moringa Oleifera, 750 cc of water, and salt to taste. 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 clear vegetable of Moringa oleifera showed the content of alkaloid and steroid compounds. Conclusion: Utilization of clear vegetable moringa leaves is an alternative that can be used to overcome the problem of insufficient milk production, besides being cheap and easy to obtain. Suggestion: Future researchers are advised to conduct research that can be directly applied to breastfeeding mothers to prevent failure of exclusive breastfeeding due to insufficient milk production.

Abstract

Nutritional status is a condition of the body resulting from food consumption and use of nutrients. Riskesdas data in 2013 shows that West Nusa Tenggara has a fairly high prevalence of malnutrition, namely 25.7% of the national standard. Wasting is an acute malnutrition problem that can indirectly increase the risk of morbidity and death in children under 5 years of age. Currently, wasting is still a serious public health problem with a prevalence rate of 11.1% in Indonesia. One of the factors causing disruption of nutritional status can be seen directly. This study aims to determine the relationship between protein intake and the incidence of wasting in toddlers. Cross sectional research was conducted on 100 respondents selected through a household survey. Data was collected through observation and interviews with respondents. The results of this study show a relationship between protein intake and the incidence of wasting in toddlers as seen from the BW/TB indicator. It is necessary to provide guidance on increasing nutritional intake, especially protein intake, and handling infectious diseases in toddlers so that malnutrition can be managed well.
