Abstract

The popularity of ready-to-serve foods has increased in Indonesia, particularly among busy consumers with limited time for cooking at home. However, the consumption of ready-to-serve foods high in sugar, salt, and fat (SSF) has prompted concerns regarding their potential adverse health impacts when consumed excessively. The present study aimed to investigate consumers’ behavior and perception regarding the purchase of ready-to-serve foods and the practice of food producers in providing these products. The study employed a structured questionnaire involving 100 consumers selected based on purposive sampling. Additionally, focus group discussions were conducted with 80 ready-to-serve food producers across five Indonesian cities using a cross-sectional research design. The data analysis, conducted using binary logistics, yielded significant findings regarding the relationship between consumers’ income and their purchase decisions regarding ready-to-serve food. This study revealed that price (42%), taste (31%), and accessibility (23%) were the primary factors influencing consumers’ food choices. However, it also indicated that nutrition and health aspects received inadequate attention from consumers, which is a cause for concern. Concurrently, the producers who participated in this study indicated that they prioritize sanitation and hygiene (53.8%) in their food production, citing regulatory requirements as the primary driver of this practice. It is regrettable that the majority of the producers (92.5%) lacked information regarding the nutrition content of their products. Moreover, they did not actively contribute (2%-11%) to controlling SSF levels except to respond to consumers’ demands. These findings underscore the necessity for enhanced awareness campaigns and implementation strategies involving all stakeholders to promote healthier, ready-to-serve foods. The implications of these findings for future policy and practice are significant, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive approach to nutrition education and labeling in the ready-to-serve food industry in Indonesia.

Abstract

Amid the expansion of the global population, the demand for sustainable, high-quality food rises. Edible insects provide an innovative and promising alternative to traditional sources of animal protein. Abundant types of insects are recognized as safe to eat worldwide and various edible insect-based food products have been widely developed globally. This research is a narrative review that identified articles using keywords in English and Bahasa. Searches were conducted on Google Scholar, Scopus, Science Direct, and MDPI. Twenty out of 106 articles were selected for the final used in the review. The review emphasizes the diverse range of edible insect species present in Indonesia and their remarkable nutritional benefits, which include energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat, and micronutrients. These insects have been integrated into local delicacies, leading to the creation of some innovative products such as pempek, cookies, sausages, and meat substitutes. However, the wider acceptance of edible insects in everyday diets is still hindered by religious, cultural, food safety, and perceptual obstacles. Further multidisciplinary research is needed to make edible insects a viable solution for a sustainable food system in the future.

Abstract

The 2023 Indonesia Health Survey (IHS) data showed that the prevalence of anemia among adolescents aged 15–24 years in Indonesia is 15.5%, with a prevalence of 18% among adolescent girls, which, according to the WHO, is still considered a nutritional problem (>10%). Female university students aged 15–24 years are among the age groups at risk of developing anemia. This study aimed to investigate the association between residence type and factors influencing the risk of anemia among 105 female Universitas Negeri Semarang students. The study used quantitative cross-sectional methods, and the sample was determined using purposive sampling. The chi-square test results (p<0.05) showed a significant relationship between residence (p=0.001), food consumption (Fe p=0.000; protein p=0.000; vitamin C p=0.024), meal frequency (animal protein p=0.000; vegetable protein p= 0.000; vegetables p= 0.000; fruits p= 0.003), menstrual patterns (p=0.002), and knowledge about anemia (p=0.010) with the incidence of anemia. However, no significant association existed between dietary status and anemia (p=0.105) in female students of Universitas Negeri Semarang. The multivariate logistic regression test showed that residence type was the most dominant factor (OR=12.63). In conclusion, anemia prevention should focus on dietary patterns, knowledge, and living conditions as the main factors in the future

Abstract

ABSTRAK                                                                                     Gaya hidup tidak sehat karena keterbatasan makanan sehat yang ditawarkan, merupakan salah satu faktor penting terjadinya peningkatan kasus diabetes di masyarakat. Adanya hasil penelitian terkait pangan sehat untuk preventif penyakit diabetes yang bekerjasama dengan mitra UMKM jasa boga, menjadi latar belakang kegiatan ini. Permasalahan yang ditemukan diantaranya banyak mitra UMKM khususnya yang bergerak dalam bidang boga dan mempunyai potensi untuk dapat memproduksi, memasarkan dan memperkaya ketersediaan pangan sehat di lingkungan masyarakat. Pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk dapat meningkatkan motivasi mitra UMKM dalam mengembangkan produk pangan inovatif untuk preventif diabetes mellitus (DM).  Metode kegiatan terdiri dari: 1) edukasi dengan aktivitas berupa ceramah dan diskusi, disertai dengan pemberian buku saku, penilaian pengetahuaan pre dan post edukasi, 2) Pelatihan dan pendampingan pembuatan produk pangan. Analisis pengetahuan peserta dilakukan dengan uji paired t-test dan uji chi-square. Kegiatan dapat terlaksana dengan lancar sesuai dengan yang telah direncanakan. Meskipun hasil uji statistik menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan tingkat pengetahuan yang signifikan antara sebelum dan setelah dilakukan edukasi, peserta yang sebelumnya belum banyak mengembangkan produk untuk preventif DM, menjadi tahu dan menunjukkan sikap positif untuk mengembangkan produk sejenis kedepannya. Hal ini menunjukkan adanya keinginan dan kesediaan UMKM untuk terlibat dan berperan dalam mengembangkan, mengenalkan kepada masyarakat produk pangan inovatif berbasis kearifan lokal untuk preventif penyakit Diabetes Melitus.Kata kunci: Diabates Melitus; Inovatif; Produk Pangan Preventif; UMKM. ABSTRACTAn unhealthy lifestyle due to limited healthy food availability is a significant factor contributing to the increase in An unhealthy lifestyle resulting from the limited availability of healthy food options is one of the key factors contributing to the increasing prevalence of diabetes in the community. Findings from research on healthy food for diabetes prevention, conducted in collaboration with micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the catering sector, form the background of this community service activity. The identified problems indicate that many MSME partners, particularly those engaged in the food sector, have the potential to produce, market, and enhance the availability of healthy food within the community. This program aims to increase the motivation of MSME partners to develop innovative food products for the prevention of diabetes mellitus (DM). The methods employed include: (1) educational activities in the form of lectures and discussions, complemented by the distribution of pocketbooks, as well as pre- and post-education knowledge assessments; and (2) training and mentoring in the production of food products. Participants’ knowledge was analyzed using paired t-test and chi-square test. The program was successfully implemented as planned. Although statistical analysis showed no significant difference in knowledge levels before and after the educational intervention, participants who had previously not developed preventive food products for DM became more aware and demonstrated a positive attitude toward developing such products in the future. This indicates a willingness and readiness among MSMEs to participate and play an active role in developing and introducing innovative, locally-based food products for the prevention of diabetes mellitus.Keywords: Diabetes Mellitus; Innovative; Preventive Food Product; Small And Medium Enterprises.
