Abstract

Biscuit is a type of dry food that is popular among the community. In the making of biscuits, additional ingredients are added to increase nutritional value, such as the addition of purple yam tuber. Purple yam contains high levels of carbohydrates and calories. Its carbohydrate content has a high amylose level of 26.98-31.02%. One of the food products that can be made into a healthy snack with high fiber and nutritional value is biscuits. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of adding purple yam flour to the acceptability of biscuits as a high fiber snack. This study is experimental using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) Non-Factorial with 3 treatments and 3 replications. To influence acceptability, sensory tests were conducted on taste, aroma, texture, and color using 25 panelists. The results showed that the acceptability of biscuits with the addition of purple yam flour from the color aspect was most preferred by panelists in treatment A (150 g) compared to B (125 g) and C (100). The addition of purple yam flour has no significant effect on taste, aroma, and texture, while there is a significant effect on color.

Abstract

Type II diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and/or decreased insulin secretion that causes an increase in blood glucose levels. Consumption of foods with a high glycemic index is known to contribute to increased blood sugar levels. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the consumption of foods with a high glycemic index and blood sugar levels in type II DM patients in the working area of the Baiturrahman Health Center, Banda Aceh City. This study uses an analytical descriptive design with  a cross-sectional approach  which was carried out in January–November 2024, with a sample of 42 respondents. Food consumption data was obtained through  the  3×24-hour food recall method, while blood sugar levels were measured using a glucometer by health workers. Data analysis was carried out using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that most patients who ate foods with a low glycemic index had normal blood sugar levels (94.2%), while patients who ate foods with a high glycemic index tended to have high blood sugar levels (76%). The results of the statistical test showed a value of p = 0.003 (p < 0.05), which means that there is a statistically significant relationship between the consumption of foods with a high glycemic index and blood sugar levels in patients with type II DM. It was concluded that the consumption of foods with a high glycemic index was significantly related to an increase in blood sugar levels at the time. Therefore, glycemic index-based dietary arrangements are important in the control of type II DM.
