Abstract

Anemia is a significant global health problem, especially in developing countries, with a high prevalence among adolescents and pregnant women. This study explores the potential of Moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves as a nutrient source rich in iron and vitamin C to address anemia. Moringa leaves contain iron up to 7 mg per 100 g and vitamin C as much as 1,89 mg/g, which plays an important role in increasing hemoglobin levels and absorption of non-heme iron. The method used was a literature study with information analysis from various relevant literature sources. The results show that consumption of moringa leaves in the form of food products, such as biscuits and flour, can significantly increase hemoglobin levels, especially in anemic adolescent girls and pregnant women. The interaction between iron and vitamin C in Moringa leaves supports hemoglobin formation and overall health. Therefore, the integration of moringa into the daily diet can be an effective strategy in preventing and overcoming anemia and improving public health.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the physicochemical properties of tempe meatball products with the substitution of mackerel (Rastrelliger sp.) as a stunting prevention strategy. Tempe meatballs were substituted with four different levels of mackerel concentration (0 g, 17,2 g, 25,8 g, and 34,4 g) using a one-factor Complete Random Design (RAL) with three replicates. The analysis includes physical (hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess) and chemical (moisture content, ash, fat, protein, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and free fatty acids). The results showed that the increase in mackerel substitution significantly increased protein content by 23.13% at the best treatment (34.4 g substitution) and improved the physical quality of meatballs. All relevant test parameters have complied with SNI 7266:2017 standards. Thus, mackerel substitution tempe meatballs have the potential to become a highly nutritious functional food to support stunting prevention programs while increasing the added value of local food products.
