Abstract

This study aims to conduct a halal analysis of hard capsule shells by using a combination of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) methods. The study was conducted by extracting gelatin from commercial hard capsule shells containing drugs and then measuring their absorbance by using FTIR. As a comparison, gelatin extracted from a simulated hard capsule shell was used. The FTIR spectrum data was analyzed by using PCA. The results of the analysis showed that the FTIR spectra of bovine and porcine gelatin were very similar, but PCA could classify the differences. The absorbance (appearing as a spectrum peak), which plays a significant role in the classification of bovine and porcine gelatin, was at wavenumbers 1455 cm-1 and 1409 cm-1. The PCA analysis showed that samples A and D had properties similar to porcine gelatin, sample C had properties similar to hard capsule shells made from porcine gelatin, sample B had properties similar to bovine gelatin, and sample E had properties similar to hard capsule shells from bovine gelatin. These results indicate that bovine gelatin and porcine gelatin in simulated hard capsule shells can be distinguished based on the FTIR spectrum combined with PCA. Commercial hard capsule shells can be classified based on their similar properties to bovine and porcine gelatin. However, this research could not confirm the exact source of the gelatin.

Abstract

Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a significant public health issue due to its prevalence and numerous contributing factors, specifically among female adolescents. Objective: The study aimed to examine the influence of knowledge and attitude on IDA prevention practice among female adolescents in Bogor City, Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out among 20 junior high schools in Bogor City, Indonesia. A total of 1.410 female students were selected through a non-probability sampling method. The Spearman rank correlation test was then used to examine the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding IDA prevention. Results: The results showed that the average scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 5.92 (out of 15), 11.56 (out of 15), and 8.95 (out of 12), respectively. In addition, knowledge had a significant correlation with attitude (p-value = 0.001, r = 0.185), and attitude showed a significant correlation with practice (p-value = 0.005, r = 0.075). Conclusion: The limited understanding of female students concerning IDA may influence their attitude and practice towards its prevention. This indicates that the implementation of diverse strategies is essential to enhance understanding of anemia, thereby improving prevention behavior.
