Abstract

A minimal oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) usage encourages increased OPEFB utilization to prevent its loss of economic prospects. The xylose and arabinose constituents of OPEFB’s hemicellulose part can be utilized as raw materials for xylitol production. A high diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease prevalence in Indonesia makes xylitol a safe and helpful low-calorie sweetener alternative. This research explores the OPEFB molasses-supplemented media and compares Moniliella pollinis SP5 and other M. pollinis ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutants in xylitol yields. It was found that M. pollinis SP5 accomplished 27% better performance in OPEFB+15%(v/v) molasses than in OPEFB from 0.48 g/g to 0.61 g/g. In addition, M4, M5, and M6 mutants from EMS mutagenesis generated more xylitol concentration in OPEFB + 15%(v/v) molasses compared to the SP5 strain. These findings provide in-sights into the potential of xylitol manufacture with OPEFB. For future research, it is recommended that xylitol production employing OPEFB be optimized.

Abstract

Child malnutrition is a serious health condition caused by insufficient or excessive consumption of calories, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Poor sanitation, hygiene, and viral infections directly related to malnutrition, which also correlated with stunting and wasting. UNICEF and WHO work globally to combat malnutrition, especially stunting and wasting, by implementing WASH programs to minimize diarrheal illnesses and improve nutritional status. Despite encouraging results, WASH interventions face several limitations such as resource demand and adaptation to unforeseen circumstances. Some recommendations for future programs include combining WASH with nutritional education, growth tracking, community engagement, and supplements for better results. To alleviate stunting in children, infrastructure, hygiene education, and public cleanliness should be improved. Taking a holistic approach to physical and cognitive development is essential to solving the complicated issue of child malnutrition, especially in Indonesia.
