Abstract

One of the factor’s causing stunting is infection related to poor household food safety practices. This study aims to analyze the correlation between household food safety practices and the incidence of stunting in Sibakur Village, Sijunjung District, Indonesia. The research used a case-control design with a sample size of 60 toddlers (30 cases and 30 controls) selected by simple random sampling. Data were collected through interviews using a questionnaire and analyzed by chi-square test, calculation of odds ratio (OR) with Confidence Interval (CI). The results showed a significant relationship between food safety practices and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.000; OR = 8.5; 95% CI =2.3-30.4), which means that toddlers from households with poor food safety practices have an 8.5 times higher risk of being stunting. Food safety factors closely related to stunting include sanitation, personal hygiene, raw materials, pest control, and cross-contamination. In conclusion, poor household food safety practices significantly increase the risk of stunting. Therefore, educative interventions of food safety need to be strengthened as a strategy to prevent stunting at the household level.

Abstract

Background: Dadih, a traditional fermented buffalo milk from West Sumatra, Indonesia, varies in quality depending on its production region. This study aimed to compare the sensory, chemical, and microbiological properties of Dadih, a traditional fermented buffalo milk, from different regions of West Sumatra, Indonesia, to identify quality variations and their potential determinants. Method: Samples were collected from Payakumbuh, Batusangkar, Bukittinggi, and Alahan Panjang. Sensory evaluation assessed taste, aroma, color, and texture; chemical analysis measured pH and protein content; and microbiological analysis determined total lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts. Results: Sensory results showed significant differences in texture (p=0.004) and aroma (p<0.001), with Payakumbuh samples scoring highest in these parameters. Chemical analysis revealed Payakumbuh Dadih had the lowest pH (4.60 ± 0.32) and highest protein content (8.91 ± 0.22%). The highest LAB count was found in Batusangkar samples (9.3 × 10⁸ CFU/g). Conclusion: The study concluded that Dadih in West Sumatra exhibited diverse properties influenced by regional processing practices, hygiene, and raw material sources. These findings provide a basis for improving production techniques to enhance sensory quality, nutritional value, and functional food potential.
