Abstract

The Dayak indigenous people of Central Kalimantan have traditionally used native plants as food and medicine to alleviate ailments, boost stamina, and extend life. One of these is the goosegrass or uru lewu plant (Eleusine indica), which is thought to tighten female organs after birth. However, this has not been empirically confirmed. Phytochemical examinations revealed that this plant boasts three chemicals with anticancer properties and two compounds with antioxidant properties because its bioactive component concentration can be formulated into herbal drinks, such as tea. Three tea formulations were developed and evaluated on 100 consumer panelists to determine their sensory perceptions: F1 (100% uru lewu), F2 (80% uru lewu and 20% black tea), and F3 (60% uru lewu and 40% black tea). The IC50 values for Uru Lewu and black tea in the antioxidant activity test using the DPPH technique were 133.77 mg/kg and 345.01 mg/kg, respectively. This suggests that uru lewu had nearly three times the antioxidant activity of black tea. Uru lewu had moderate antioxidant activity (higher than black tea). Based on the tea's color, aroma, and taste, the F3 tea formulation with 60% uru lewu and 40% black tea was the most chosen formulation by consumers.

Abstract

The issue of food insecurity during COVID-19 has occurred around the world, including in Indonesia. This study focused on factors associated with running out of food in the households as the outcome. The objective of this study was to examine the variables associated with running out of foods during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. This study used secondary data RGA from UN Women website to explore univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis. The results revealed that the main factors influencing running out of foods are five variables such as worries would not having enough food to eat, being unable to eat healthy and nutritious food, eating only a few kinds of foods, eating less than enough, and being hungry but did not eat. There are two variables that revealed moderate correlation such as skipping a meal and going without eating for a whole day. The strongest variable is HH’s head reported were hungry but did not eat which were 5.48 times more likely to run out of foods during the pandemic. Intervention and collaboration with other stakeholders need to be arranged well to prevent the severity food insecurity. Â
