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.

Abstract

The imbalanced food supply in Indonesia has posed a significant challenge. The utilization of canna (Canna Edulis) starch can act as a potential solution, enabling society to consume a more diverse variety of commodities rather than relying solely on rice. Canna, an underutilized tuber, is rich in resistant starch and bioactive compounds, showing potential in tackling dietary and health issues. Despite its high glycemic index, efforts to modify canna starch into resistant starch aim to enhance its health benefits by improving blood sugar control and gut health. This paper aims to introduce ganyong (Canna edulis) starch as a versatile alternative to rice or wheat for carbohydrates, which also highlights the urgent need to address and prevent the high prevalence of colorectal cancer in society by the role of bioactivity and mechanisms of action of canna starch. The applications of canna starch in the food industry such as ginger bangket biscuits, cendol, and cookies, is discussed to highlight its potential as a substitute for traditional starch sources, along with its sensory attributes. Although limitations are acknowledged, continued research and development in processing techniques are essential to unlock the full potential of canna starch and its application in addressing food security and health challenges.
