Abstract

Patin is a type of fish commonly processed into fillets for export purposes. Patin fillets are prone to deterioration during cold storage. Nisin is a natural preservative that inhibits microbial growth, particularly Gram-positive bacteria; however, it remains ineffective against Gram-negative bacteria. A combination of nisin and chitosan has been reported to inhibit Gram-negative bacteria. This study aimed to analyze the effect of combining nisin from Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis and chitosan, applied by bottle-spraying, on the quality parameters (total plate count/TPC, pH, total volatile base nitrogen/TVB-N, and thiobarbituric acid/TBA) of patin fillets during cold storage (4±1 °C) for 16 days. The treatments consisted of 2% chitosan, combinations of nisin–chitosan (125 IU ml-1 nisin and 1.5% chitosan, 250 IU ml-1 nisin and 1% chitosan, 500 IU ml-1 nisin and 0.5% chitosan), and 1,000 IU ml-1 nisin. The results showed that both the combined treatments of nisin and chitosan, as well as the individual applications of 1,000 IU ml-1 nisin and 2% chitosan, slowed the increase in TVB-N and TBA values. However, these treatments did not significantly affect pH or microbiological quality (TPC). The combination treatment effectively delayed chemical spoilage (TVB-N, TBA) during cold storage; however, microbial limits (TPC) were reached by day 12, indicating that the overall shelf life of patin fillets could not be extended beyond this period.

Abstract

Environmental damage has become an increasingly evident global threat, urging humanity to become more environmentally conscious. One effort to address this is by purchasing environmentally friendly products, such as eco-labeling bottled water. This study analyzes the influence of ecological labels, advertising, price, attitudes, and environmental awareness on Generation Z’s purchasing decisions for ecologically labeled bottled water in Tangerang City. The basic method of this study is causal-comparative. The location of the study was determined purposively, namely in Tangerang City, Banten. This study used primary and secondary data, analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS version 3. The study used an accidental sampling technique, with 150 respondents from Generation Z aged 18 to 27 who had purchased eco-labeled bottled water. The analysis results show that eco-label, price, attitude, and environmental awareness positively and significantly influence the purchasing decision of eco-labeled bottled water among Generation Z in Tangerang City. In contrast, advertising has a positive but insignificant influence. Attitude influences the purchasing decision of eco-labeled bottled water, followed by price, environmental awareness, and eco-label. Industry players should continue to innovate to create products without ignoring environmental sustainability and set optimal prices comparable to product quality. In addition, industry players need to improve communication of the benefits of ecological products through education with clear information on the packaging or eco-label campaigns.

Abstract

Intestinal parasitic infections remain a persistent public health problem in low-resource settings, contributing significantly to childhood malnutrition. Deworming programs have been recognized as an effective strategy to enhance nutrient absorption, promote child growth, and improve overall health. However, parental perceptions influence the uptake and success of these interventions. This study aimed to assess parents’ perceptions of the role of deworming in controlling malnutrition among school-aged children. A descriptive-correlational design was employed among 104 parents or guardians of school-aged children enrolled in two public elementary schools in Buug, Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines, who were recipients of local and national deworming programs. Data were collected using a validity- and reliability-tested questionnaire (CVR = 0.5 to 0.9; Cronbach’s alpha = 0.75) and analyzed using frequency, percentage, standard deviation, and correlation analyses, including Spearman’s rho and Pearson’s r. At a 0.05 level of significance, improvement in children’s activity levels was significantly associated with parental sex (p = 0.007) and employment status (p = 0.003). Improvement in children’s appetite and eating patterns was very significant related to parental employment status (p = 0.006) and number of children in the household (p = 0.021). These findings highlight how sociodemographic factors influence parental perceptions of deworming outcomes, underscoring the need for targeted education and community awareness initiatives to enhance the acceptance and effectiveness of deworming programs as a public health strategy for combating malnutrition.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnant women is a public health problem with a high prevalence in Indonesia, one of the main causes of which is low iron intake. This study aimed to analyze the iron content of dim sum formulated with moringa leaf and tempeh flour substitution as a food product to prevent anemia in pregnant women. This was an experimental study with a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of a single factor and three ratio variations of moringa leaf to tempeh flours such as F0 (control, without substitution), F1 (ratio 1:2), F2 (ratio 1:1), and F3 (ratio 2:1). The iron content was analyzed using the visible spectrophotometer. The results showed significant differences in iron content among the treatments (p ≤ 0.001). F0, F1, F2, and F3 had an iron content of 2.54±0.21; 3.37±0.37; 3.81±0.06; and 4.63±0.26 mg 100 g-1, respectively. The F3 treatment had the highest iron content and significantly differed from the F0 control formula. Based on the results, moringa leaf flour contains iron, which plays a role in hemoglobin formation. At the same time, tempeh, rich in protein, helps support the production of red blood cells and prevents anemia. This modified dim sum can potentially be a source of iron-rich food that can help prevent anemia, especially in pregnant women.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical period characterized by significant physical, cognitive, psychosocial, and emotional changes that influence dietary behaviors, including increased consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs), which may contribute to chronic disease risk. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of energy intake from UPFs among adolescent girls in Tasikmalaya City. This observational study employed a cross-sectional design, involving 514 adolescent girls from 10 public junior high schools in Tasikmalaya, selected through proportional random sampling. The energy intake from UPFs was collected using 2×24-hour food recalls, then separated using Nova 4. Information on potential determinants, including individual and interpersonal factors, was obtained through a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and logistic regression. The results showed that one-fifth (21%) of participants had energy intake dominated by UPFs. Significant individual factors associated with the dominance of energy intake from UPFs included screen time duration (p = 0.001; OR = 2.424 [95% CI = 1.420-4.140]) and main meals (p = 0.019; OR = 1.996 [95% CI = 1.121-3.554]). Interpersonal factors related to the dominance of energy intake from UPFs were family status (p = 0.006; OR = 2.336 [95% CI = 1.275-4.282]). Screen time duration emerged as the strongest contributing factor. In conclusion, dominant energy intake from UPFs among adolescent girls is influenced by screen time duration, main meals, and family status. Parents need to pay attention to adolescent girls’ nutritional intake, especially limiting UPFs consumption. Policies regarding healthy snacks sold in school cafeterias also need to be implemented.

Abstract

One indicator of community nutritional status is the nutritional status of children under five. Efforts to achieve good nutritional status for children under five cannot be separated from the role of parents, especially mothers, as caregivers because mothers are responsible for organizing family meals, including for children under five. Therefore, this study aims to assess the dominant risk factors related to maternal parenting in feeding with the nutritional status of toddlers. The research method used was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. Data collection was conducted at the integrated health post (Posyandu) Mampang Village, Depok City, in May 2024, which coincided with the month of monitoring toddler growth and development. The population of this study was 1,853 toddlers. While the number of samples taken was 92 toddlers using the purposive sampling technique. The instrument used was a maternal parenting questionnaire modified from the Ministry of Health’s infant and young child feeding guidelines, and the reliability test results of this questionnaire were 0.722. Data analysis used the chi-square test, and multivariate analysis used the logistic regression risk factor model. The results showed that 87% of toddlers had good nutritional status and 13% were malnourished. Based on the study result, the factor that plays the most role in the nutritional status of toddlers is the provision of main meals 3 times (p-value 0.000) and snacks 2 times a day (p-value 0.046). Training in feeding the type and amount, how to serve, and variety of food diversity is necessary to improve toddlers’ optimal growth and development.

Abstract

Antioxidants are essential elements in scavenging free radicals and are found in many foods. Incorporating fiber-rich durian inner skin flour into cookies not only boosts the fiber content but also introduces antioxidant compounds, which may influence the product’s shelf life due to changes in chemical stability. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity and shelf life of cookies. A randomized block design was adopted, and antioxidants were analyzed using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. The shelf life was estimated using the Accelerated Shelf-Life Testing (ASLT) method with the Arrhenius model during a 28-day storage period based on moisture content. The results showed that the antioxidant activity of cookies substituted with durian peel flour had IC50 values of 36.59 and 36.71 ppm, respectively, indicating a very strong antioxidant effect (IC50 < 50 ppm). Furthermore, the shelf life decreased with increasing storage temperature, namely, 26 days at 25 °C, 24 days at 35 °C, and 21 days at 45 °C. In conclusion, the substitution of durian peel flour increased antioxidant activity without significantly affecting shelf life.

Abstract

Shallot is a high value horticultural crop valued for its flavor, aroma, and medicinal properties, and is rich in phenolics and flavonoids that contribute to antioxidant activity. Limited dryland and fluctuating demand in South Sumatra highlight the need for alternative systems such as floating cultivation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different ammonium sulfate (ZA) doses on the bulb yield, total phenolic, and flavonoid contents of Bauji shallots grown under floating cultivation. The experiment used a randomized complete block design with three replications and four ZA fertilizer treatments (0, 60, 180, and 360 kg ha⁻¹). Observed variables included total phenolic and flavonoid contents measured by spectrophotometry and dry bulb weight. The results indicated that the ZA application significantly increased dry bulb weight and total phenolic content but did not affect flavonoids. The highest bulb yield and flavonoid content were obtained with 60 kg ha⁻¹, whereas phenolics peaked under the control (0 kg ha⁻¹), suggesting a trade-off between yield and secondary metabolite accumulation. Correlation analysis revealed a positive association between bulb weight and flavonoid content, whereas phenolics were negatively related to fertilizer input. As the first report on Bauji shallots under floating cultivation, these findings indicate that moderate ZA fertilization (60 kg ha⁻¹) optimizes bulb yield while maintaining bioactive compound levels. However, further multi-season studies are needed for broader recommendations.

Abstract

Continuous use of Sipramin fertilizer can lead to sodium (Na+) accumulation in the soil. Sodium accumulation damages soil physical properties, which also affects the chemical quality and nutrient supply. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of various doses of humic acid and nitrogen fertilizer sources on soil chemical properties. This study was arranged in a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with 2 factors: humic acid doses (0, 20, 40, and 60 kg ha-1) and nitrogen fertilizer types (control, NPK Phonska, Urea, KNO₃, and MAP) with a recommended rate of 92 kg ha-1. The study consisted of 20 treatment combinations with 3 replications, yielding a total of 60 experimental units arranged randomly. Soil samples were collected at 7 and 21 days after treatment (DAT) to analyze pH, organic C, cation exchange capacity (CEC), exchangeable Na, and available N (NH₄⁺ and NO₃-). The results showed that the interaction between humic acid and nitrogen fertilizer did not significantly affect the chemical properties of the Sipramin-affected soil. In general, the effects of both treatments depended on the parameters and the time of observation. At 7 DAT, several variables showed significant effects, whereas at 21 DAT, some of those effects were no longer significant.

Abstract

Functional foods rich in bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, have gained attention for their potential role in managing blood pressure. Physalis angulata L., commonly known as Ciplukan, is a tropical fruit with a high quercetin content, a flavonoid known for its antioxidant and vasodilatory properties. This study aims to evaluate the application of Ciplukan juice as a nutritional therapy on blood pressure in patients with hypertension. The study used a quasi-experiment pretest-posttest control group design. The quercetin content in the Ciplukan juice was analyzed using the High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method at the Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) Integrated Laboratory Universitas Diponegoro. The sample in this study was 47 individuals with hypertension from Gambirsari Health Center, Surakarta, Indonesia. Subjects were randomly divided into control and treatment groups. The control group was given amlodipine per day and nutrition education. The intervention group received amlodipine, nutrition education, and 250 ml of Ciplukan juice per day. The research was conducted for 30 days. Data analysis used the Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon test. The test results showed a significant difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure between the control and treatment groups with a p-value of 0.000. The reduction in systolic blood pressure in the treatment group was 20.5 mmHg greater than the control group. The decrease in diastolic blood pressure in the treatment group was 10.8 mmHg greater than in the control group. Consuming Ciplukan juice 250 ml per day for 30 days was suggested to reduce blood pressure in hypertension effectively.
