Abstract

Dietary fiber consumption among the Indonesian population remains low compared to the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA). This study aimed to develop a functional non-gluten food product in the form of soft-crust tart based on purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) and Modified Cassava Flour (MOCAF) and to compare its physical, sensory, and nutritional characteristics. The research method utilized an experimental design with two variations of crust formulation: P1 (Full Purple Sweet Potato Crust 500 g) and P2 (Purple Sweet Potato Crust 500 g + MOCAF Flour 50 g). Tested parameters included physical attributes (color and texture), sensory quality via a hedonic test by 25 panelists, and nutritional estimation using NutriSurvey software. The hedonic test results revealed that formulation P1 achieved a higher overall acceptance score of 4.35 compared to P2 with 3.82. Panelists significantly preferred the flavor (4.44) and texture (4.24) of P1 due to the optimal natural softness of purple sweet potato starch. Nutritionally, P1 yielded 1155.7 kcal and 7 g of fiber per recipe, while P2 yielded 1330.7 kcal and 13 g of fiber. It is concluded that formulation P1 is the optimal treatment for physical and sensory parameters, whereas P2 is superior in terms of dietary fiber content.

Abstract

Nutritional deficiencies in Indonesia necessitate functional food innovations that support gastrointestinal health. Pineapple peel has significant potential as a fermentation substrate due to its high carbohydrate content, yet its utilization remains sub-optimal. This study aimed to determine the optimal formulation and fermentation duration of a probiotic beverage based on pineapple peel and honey. Analytical methods included hedonic and quality hedonic testing by 25 semi-trained panelists, and theoretical nutritional estimation using NutriSurvey 2007. The results indicated that a 2-day fermentation period (P1) produced the most stable physical and sensory characteristics. Formulation P1 achieved the highest overall acceptability score of 3.74 on a 1–5 hedonic scale, with a taste score of 3.86 and texture score of 4.02. The theoretical nutritional profile per serving yielded 203.4 kcal of energy and 53.3 g of carbohydrates. In conclusion, controlling the fermentation duration to 2 days is a critical parameter for producing an acceptable probiotic beverage. This study is crucial for advancing the utilization of agricultural by-products as local food-based nutritional intervention products.

Abstract

Quality degradation in fresh horticultural products macroscopically manifests in color changes and visual appearance, serving as primary determinants for consumer acceptance. This qualitative descriptive study aimed to map the visual deterioration patterns of ten selected commodities (apple, banana, tomato, cucumber, carrot, red bell pepper, orange, oyster mushroom, onion, and broccoli) over three days of storage. The thermal treatments evaluated included room temperature (28°C), refrigeration (4°C), and freezing (-18°C). Observations were objectified using a structured rubric encompassing chromatic fluctuation, epidermal integrity, dehydration percentage, and tissue exudation. Thematic analysis revealed that refrigeration generally decelerated the senescence rate but specifically triggered chilling injury pathogenesis, such as asymmetrical discoloration in tropical commodities like bananas. Conversely, freezing effectively preserved initial pigment stability, yet ice crystal induction caused mechanical damage resulting in severe drip loss post-thawing, particularly in high-moisture matrices. Meanwhile, ambient temperature accelerated osmotic dehydration and extreme enzymatic browning, with the most massive deterioration observed in oyster mushrooms. Based on these findings, it is concluded that visual indicator observations grounded in thermal biophysical mechanisms are highly applicable as a practical quality control instrument in food industry management systems

Abstract

Fermented foods are a type of functional food that has been extensively studied due to their potential to enhance nutritional value and provide health benefits. This journal review aims to analyse the role of fermented foods as functional foods from a nutritional and health perspective. The method used was a narrative literature review, examining ten scientific articles on various fermented foods, including fermented wheat, probiotic yoghurt, fermented whey protein, pearl millet and milk drinks, fermented sheep’s milk, plant-based medicinal food drinks, fermented goji berry juice, soya yoghurt, fermented chickpeas, and fermented chestnut protein. The results of the study indicate that fermentation by lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and moulds is capable of enhancing nutritional content, protein digestibility, and mineral bioavailability, as well as producing bioactive components such as functional peptides, essential amino acids, phenolics, flavonoids, D-pinitol, myo-inositol, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), polysaccharides, and short-chain fatty acids. These components contribute to antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and anti-cancer activities, as well as improved metabolism, bone health, and the maintenance of gut microbiota. Consequently, fermented foods have the potential to be developed as functional foods to support the prevention and management of degenerative diseases.

Abstract

Central obesity, measured by waist circumference, is a key anthropometric indicator and a major risk factor for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The prevalence of central obesity and metabolic disorders continues to increase globally and locally, including in Serang City. Certain occupational groups, such as terminal personnel, may be at higher risk due to sedentary work patterns and occupational stress. This study aimed to examine differences in Random Blood Glucose (RBG) levels based on central obesity status among personnel at Pakupatan Terminal, Serang City. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 23 management and operational personnel selected through convenience sampling in November 2025. Data were collected through waist circumference measurements and RBG testing, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Independent Samples t-test. The results showed a p-value greater than 0.05, indicating no significant difference in RBG levels between central obesity and normal groups. This finding may be influenced by the small sample size or early metabolic changes not yet reflected in glucose levels. Despite the non-significant results, central obesity remains an important indicator of long-term metabolic risk. Therefore, preventive interventions such as workplace health screening, nutrition education, and regular physical activity are recommended to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome and other non-communicable diseases among high-risk occupational groups.

Abstract

Intermittent fasting (IF) is gaining popularity as a non-pharmacological intervention for weight loss and the improvement of cardiometabolic profiles. This study aimed to determine the effect of intermittent fasting on changes in body weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) among students at Muhadi Setiabudi University. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach was employed. The study sample consisted of 40 respondents whose body weight and BMI were measured before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test. The results showed a decrease in the respondents' mean body weight from 49.31 kg to 48.26 kg and a decrease in mean BMI from 20.85 to 20.40. Bivariate analysis revealed a significance value of 0.000 (p 0.05) for both variables, demonstrating a significant effect of intermittent fasting on reductions in body weight and BMI. The study concludes that intermittent fasting influences changes in the students' body weight and BMI.
