Abstract

Stunting in early childhood remains a major public health issue in developing countries, including Indonesia. In addition to undernutrition, excessive intake of simple carbohydrates may disrupt the endocrine pathways crucial for linear growth. This study examined the association between simple carbohydrate consumption and growth biomarkers insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), leptin, and growth hormone as predictors of stunting risk in children aged 12–36 months of age. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 250 children from urban and rural settings. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated 24-hour recall, and biomarker levels were measured using ELISA. The results showed an average daily energy intake of 1,350 kcal, with 65% derived from carbohydrates, predominantly simple sugars and refined starches. Stunted children exhibited significantly lower concentrations of IGF-1, leptin, and growth hormone (p < 0.01), with strong inverse correlations between simple carbohydrate intake and biomarker levels (r = –0.45 for IGF-1; r = –0.38 for growth hormone [GH]). Multiple regression analysis confirmed that a higher intake of simple carbohydrates significantly predicted lower biomarker levels and reduced height-for-age z-scores (HAZ). These findings highlight the importance of dietary quality, emphasizing the need to reduce simple carbohydrate intake to support hormonal balance and optimal linear growth in early childhood.

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is a condition of long-term undernutrition in pregnant women, indicated by a mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) of less than 23.5 cm, and poses risks to both maternal and fetal health. One of the government strategies to address this issue is the provision of locally based supplementary food (Local Supplementary Feeding). However, most previous studies have predominantly employed quantitative approaches and focused on program coverage, while in-depth case-based analyses at the primary health care level remain limited. This study aimed to describe changes in the nutritional status of pregnant women with CED before and after receiving Local Supplementary Feeding in the working area of Pekanbaru City Primary Health Center in 2024. A qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design was applied to three pregnant women with CED from August 2024 to May 2025. Data were collected through interviews and secondary data from the e-PPGBM system. The results showed an increase in body weight ranging from 5.5 to 12.95 kg and an increase in MUAC of 1–2 cm. However, one case of low birth weight was still observed, indicating the need to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of Local Supplementary Feeding interventions.

Abstract

Seminyak (Champereia manillana) is a local food crop from Rokan Hulu, Riau, which is often consumed as a vegetable. Although traditionally used, valid scientific information regarding its nutritional composition is limited, which hinders its development as a functional food. This study aimed to analyze the proximate nutritional and fiber content of Seminyak leaves to evaluate their potential as functional food. The proximate content (moisture, ash, protein, fat, and carbohydrates) and fiber content were analyzed using AOAC 1993 and FOSS Analytical standard methods. The results were descriptively analyzed by presenting the values obtained from these tests. The analysis results showed that Seminyak leaves have a significant protein content of 4.41% and a high ash content of 2.37%. The fat content was very low (0%). The average values of other proximate nutrients included water (78.85%), carbohydrates (9.72%), and crude fiber (2.9%). With this nutritional profile, especially the high protein and mineral (ash) content and low fat content, Seminyak leaves have great potential as a source of vegetable protein and minerals and as a raw material for developing functional food products, which can contribute to local food diversification and food security.

Abstract

Pumpkin bars are practical functional food products; however, their distribution is often hampered by a lack of data on quality degradation kinetics in the tripos environment. This study aimed to estimate the shelf life of pumpkin bars using the Accelerated Shelf Life Test (ASLT) method with the Arrhenius approach and to evaluate the effectiveness of aluminum foil packaging in maintaining product quality. This study used an experimental design conducted at the Food Laboratory of the Riau Ministry of Health Polytechnic and SIG Laboratory from January to October 2025. Samples were stored at 35, 40, and 45°C, and a control temperature of 18°C for 30 days, with observations every 7 days. The parameters observed included moisture content, water activity (Aw), and the presence of mold and yeast. Data analysis used the Arrhenius kinetic model to calculate the reaction rate constant and estimate the shelf life. The results showed that the product was stable in terms of mold and yeast <10 colonies/g. Increased moisture content (8.5–14%) and Aw (0.52–0.67) were the main limiting factors for the growth of these Based on Arrhenius calculations, the shelf life of the product was estimated to be 23–35 days at 35–45°C. Moisture content and sensory degradation were the main determinants of the shelf life of pumpkin bars in aluminum foil packaging.
