Abstract

Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is a nutritional disorder that arises from low energy and protein consumption in the daily diet, and is influenced by certain health conditions. According to the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) data, 29.7% of children in East Nusa Tenggara Province are malnourished. This study aims to evaluate the impact of adding red bean flour on the acceptability level and macro-nutrient content of cakalang fish basreng products. The study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with red bean flour additions of 10%, 20%, and 30% in sequence, involving 30 panelists. The organoleptic test results showed that the average liking level (color, aroma, texture, and taste) fell into the “somewhat liked” to “liked” category. The normality test results for color, aroma, texture, and taste indicated that all the data presented were not normally distributed. Statistical test results using the Kruskal-Wallis test showed that there was no significant effect on color, aroma, texture, and taste in each treatment. Nutritional value calculations showed that the addition of red bean flour significantly contributed to an increase in the macro-nutrient content of skipjack tuna basreng. It is hoped that future researchers will use a drying oven in the red bean drying process to minimize cross-contamination from the surrounding environment.

Abstract

To achieve optimal growth and development, it is important to consider the golden age, often referred to as the vital development phase for children. According to the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI), 9.4% of children in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province are underweight. Therefore, researchers decided to investigate the impact of replacing catfish flour with green bean flour on biscuit acceptance. The objective of this study was to determine the nutritional components and biscuit acceptance test of biscuits made using green bean flour as a substitute for catfish flour. This study is an experimental study, with food formulations using proportions of catfish flour (10%, 20%, 30%) and green bean flour (30%, 20%, 10%). Acceptance test data were analyzed descriptively, using the Normality Test, ANOVA, and Tukey's Test. It can be concluded that the preference level for each treatment received a score of 4, indicating preference. Based on statistical analysis, there was a significant difference in taste between treatments P0 and P3. The macronutrient values of the biscuits, with varying proportions of catfish flour to green bean flour, were affected (energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrates). To prevent cross-contamination from the environment, researchers are advised to use an oven when drying the green beans and catfish, and to use uniform molds to ensure consistent product weight.

Abstract

One of the indirect causes of preventable maternal and child mortality is the health status of pregnant women. Pregnant women with SEZ conditions are at risk of experiencing decreased muscle strength, which is needed in the process of labor so that it can result in fetal death, premature birth, birth defects, low birth weight babies, short birth babies and even infant death. The design used is quantitative with a cross sectional approach with univariate and bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test. The population of this study were all pregnant women who did pregnancy checks at the Puskesmas in Kupang City in 2022. Sample technique using purposive sampling technique. This study was conducted from January to December 2022. The results showed that of all pregnant women who were given nutrition education in the form of counseling and provision of additional food, most experienced weight gain. In contrast to the increase in LiLA, although there is a change in the size of LiLA after being given education, there are still pregnant women who do not experience changes in LiLA. The statistical test results obtained a p-value <0.005, which means that there is a relationship between the provision of nutrition education and the improvement of the nutritional status of pregnant women with SEZ. It is expected for health workers to carry out special monitoring of pregnant women at risk of SEZ in conducting health checks and consuming additional nutritionally balanced foods.

Abstract

The prevalence of anemia is 32%, meaning that 3 to 4 out of every 10 adolescents have anemia. One way to address anemia is through the consumption of foods rich in iron and vitamin C. Jackfruit seeds and pumpkin are local food ingredients that contain iron, protein, and vitamin C, and can be processed into functional food products such as cookies. This study aimed to determine the effect of substituting jackfruit seed flour and pumpkin flour on the organoleptic properties and nutritional value of cookies as an effort to diversify nutritious local foods to prevent anemia in adolescent girls. This research was an experimental study using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatments of jackfruit seed flour and pumpkin flour ratios: P1 (20%:25%), P2 (25%:20%), and P3 (30%:15%). Organoleptic tests were conducted by 30 student panelists from the Nutrition Department of Poltekkes Kemenkes Kupang. Data were analyzed using ANOVA to examine differences between treatments. Results: Conversion results showed that 1,000 grams of jackfruit seeds produced 650 grams of flour (conversion ratio 1.53:1), while 1,500 grams of pumpkin produced 400 grams of flour (conversion ratio 3.75:1). The organoleptic test results indicated that all treatments received average scores close to 5, categorized as “liked very much.” Treatment P3 (30%:15%) received the highest scores for color (4.90), aroma (4.73), texture (4.80), and taste (4.73). ANOVA results showed no significant differences (p>0.05) in all organoleptic aspects. Based on nutritional analysis, cookies from P1 (20%:25%) had the highest nutritional content, with protein 0.66 g, iron 0.17 mg, and vitamin C 0.36 IU per piece. To meet 10% of the daily iron requirement for adolescent girls, it is recommended to consume 11 pieces of P1 cookies. Conclusion: Substitution of jackfruit seed flour and pumpkin flour up to 45% (P3) produced cookies with a high level of preference without reducing organoleptic quality. P1 cookies are recommended because they have higher nutritional content, especially iron, protein, and vitamin C, which are beneficial in helping prevent anemia in adolescent girls.

Abstract

Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) remains a major nutritional issue among toddlers and significantly contributes to Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM) remains a major nutritional problem among infants and young children and contributes to high child mortality rates. Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that approximately 54% of child deaths are caused by Protein-Energy Malnutrition. One preventive measure involves utilizing local foods, such as skipjack tuna—which is high in animal protein—and red beans as a source of plant-based protein, by processing them into stick-shaped products. These stick products are designed as snacks weighing 50 grams per serving to help meet the daily nutritional needs of healthy infants and toddlers, supplementing their daily nutritional requirements beyond main meals. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of adding red bean flour on the organoleptic acceptability (color, aroma, taste, and texture) as well as the nutritional value of skipjack tuna sticks. An experimental research method was used with three treatments: the addition of 42% red bean flour (L1), 47% (L2), and 52% (L3). Organoleptic testing was conducted by panelists using the Kruskal-Wallis test, while nutritional value analysis was based on TKPI 2020. The results of the organoleptic test showed no significant differences among the treatments (p > 0.05), but all formulations fell into the “like” category (scores of 3.6–4.0). In terms of color, L1 and L2 were the most preferred; for aroma and texture, L2 and L3 were preferred; while L2 received the highest score for taste. Nutritional analysis showed an increase in energy and protein as the proportion of red beans increased, with the highest values in L3 (Energy 2,413.4 kcal; protein 93.8 g; fat 97.75 g; carbohydrates 293.25 g). Based on the nutritional analysis results, the recommended formulation is skipjack fish sticks with 52% red bean flour added (L3). As a snack, this product has higher energy and protein levels than the other treatments, which can help meet the energy and protein needs of undernourished toddlers. Further research is needed regarding the content or analysis of other micronutrients in the fish stick formulation.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major worldwide health concern, with some regions in Indonesia facing challenges in achieving case detection objectives. This initiative sought to enhance tuberculosis case detection using mobile X-ray screening, the provision of preventative medication, and the identification of latent tuberculosis infections among household contacts and high-risk groups, especially stunting children. The results indicated that just 6.03% of participants had a history of tuberculosis contact, but 67.84% presented risk factors including malnutrition, exposure to smoking, previous tuberculosis diagnosis, and diabetes. Chest radiography revealed anomalies in 6.03% of individuals, requiring further diagnostic verification. Furthermore, stunting was widespread, with 48% categorized as moderately stunted and 27% as severely stunted. Post-intervention evaluations indicated an enhanced mother's understanding of tuberculosis. Initiatives to enhance tuberculosis case finding among women and children under five in rural regions must be expanded and strengthened to decrease transmission, enhance detection rates, bridge information gaps, mitigate stigma, and increase treatment coverage, ultimately leading to reduced tuberculosis transmission.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that has a serious impact. The results of SSGI in 2021 the prevalence of stunting in East Nusa Tenggara was 24.4 percent. The highest stunting in South Central Timor District (TTS) was 48.3 percent. The causes of stunting are multifactorial; in addition to inadequate nutritional intake, sociodemographic factors and the role of fathers can affect parenting and susceptibility to infectious diseases. The determinants of stunting incidence in each region are different, including sociodemographics and parenting patterns. Objectives: This study aims to determine the risk factors for stunting according to sociodemographics and the role of fathers in the South Central Timor district. Methods: This research is a quantitative study with a Cross-Sectional Design. The number of samples used was 280 people with a purposive sampling technique based on the researcher's criteria. The research instrument used questionnaires and anthropometric measurements. The data collected included sociodemographic variables, data on child characteristics, and the role of fathers in preventing stunting. Data obtained from secondary data interviews, observations, and anthropometric measurements to measure the nutritional status of toddlers. Data analysis was carried out in stages; the results of bivariate analysis with a p-value below 0.25 were included in the multivariate analysis modeling of logistic regression tests. This study received ethical approval from the Ethics Committee of the Poltekkes Kemenkes Kupang No LB.02.03/1/0156/2024. Results: The results of the bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between a history of infectious diseases, low birth weight <2500 grams, low exclusive breastfeeding, nutritional status of pregnant women with KEK, and the role of fathers with the incidence of stunting in Tobu Village and Noesiu Village. This is indicated by a p-value <0.05, while the results of the multivariate analysis showed that the nutritional status of pregnant women and exclusive breastfeeding had the greatest influence on the incidence of stunting. Conclusion: The biggest risk factors for stunting in this study were maternal nutritional status and low exclusive breastfeeding. Specific variables need to be added in further studies, including complete basic immunization, smoking behavior, and nutritional intake.
