Abstract

Stunting is a condition of growth failure in toddlers, with the incidence rate in the North Lombok Regency reaching 19.3% in 2023. Although melongas, a traditional message technique widely practiced by the local community, is believed to support growth and development, there is currently no scientific evidence validating it in addressing stunting. The research aims to determine melongas massage’s effectiveness on stunted toddlers’ appetite and sleep quality. The research method uses a quantitative approach, a quasi-experimental with a nonequivalent control group design. The sampling technique uses saturated sampling. The research population consisted of 96 toddlers. Massage for toddlers using melongas method is carried out 2 times a week, lasting 10 to 15 minutes for 4 weeks. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The result revealed that most stunted toddlers who received massage therapy based on the melongas method experienced a significant improvement in appetite (47.91%) and sleep quality (75%). This study examines the relationship between massage therapy based on the melongas method and stunted toddlers’ appetite ( -value 0.021) and sleep quality ( -value 0.025). Toddler massage using the melongas method effectively increases stunted toddlers’ appetite and sleep quality.

Abstract

Breastfeeding plays a crucial role in maternal and infant health, yet many mothers face challenges such as insufficient milk supply and inadequate micronutrient intake. This study aimed to develop and assess soft lactation cookies enriched with locally available galactagogues, specifically katuk leaves (Sauropus androgynus), moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera), and Cilembu sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas). Four cookie formulations were tested, including a control (P0) and three treatment groups (P1, P2, P3). These formulations were evaluated through nutritional analysis, physical quality tests, and sensory evaluation. The P3 formulation, containing 6.6% katuk leaves, demonstrated the highest concentrations of micronutrients, including iron (3.32 mg 100 g-1) and zinc (0.168 mg 100 g-1), and exhibited the softest texture with enhanced yellowness. Hedonic testing revealed that P3 had significantly higher taste and overall acceptability scores compared to the other formulations. This formulation provides a culturally relevant, nutrient-dense alternative for lactating mothers, addressing common micronutrient deficiencies. The results suggest that soft lactation cookies, particularly P3, may serve as an effective dietary intervention to support maternal nutrition and exclusive breastfeeding. Future studies should focus on the bioavailability and clinical impact of these cookies.

Abstract

Tropical peatlands in West Kalimantan are severely constrained by extreme acidity (pH < 4.5), limiting maize productivity to 15 to 35% of genetic potential. Traditional peat burning exacerbates environmental degradation through CO₂ emissions and particulate matter release. This study evaluated red mud-KCl fertilizer combinations on soil nutrient availability and maize growth. A randomized complete block design examined five treatments with five replications (n = 25). Four treatment levels (R1 to R4) were applied with red mud doses (0.75 to 3.0 kg plot-1) with KCl fertilizer (42.6 g) versus controls. Red mud, an alkaline bauxite waste (pH 10 to 12), maintained heavy metal concentrations below regulatory thresholds. Statistical analyses employed ANOVA (α = 0.05) and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. Treatments significantly elevated soil pH from 4.41 (control) to 5.45 to 5.67, transforming strongly acidic to moderately acidic conditions. Exchangeable K increased from 2.02 to 4.40 cmol(+) kg-¹, representing a 118% improvement in K availability. Available P improved by 13.4%, enhancing nutrient uptake capacity. The optimal treatment (R4: 3.0 kg red mud + KCl) demonstrated superior maize performance with significantly greater plant height, stem diameter, and maize ear weight than controls. Treatment R4 achieved the most favorable soil chemical properties, including optimal cation exchange capacity and nutrient retention, creating ideal growing conditions that maximized maize genetic potential expression in previously unproductive acidic peatland soils. Results indicate substantial potential for sustainable peatland agriculture through red mud-KCl soil amendments. Future investigations should assess long-term environmental sustainability, socio-economic viability, and farmer adoption mechanisms for implementing this amelioration strategy in tropical peatland systems.

Abstract

The high prevalence of stunting and low fiber intake among toddlers in Indonesia led to the development of cookies as a supplementary food to support adequate protein and fiber intake. Therefore, this study aims to determine the optimal cookie formulation based on sorghum, moringa leaf, and bran flours. This study used an experimental method based on response surface methodology (RSM) with a central composite design (CCD). The resulting responses were protein (Y1) and crude fiber (Y2), which were maximized. The optimal formula for cookies was 29.04% sorghum, 2.34% moringa leaf, and 18.74% bran flours. This formulation produces cookies with protein content of 10.01%, crude fiber of 2.36%, moisture of 4.89%, ash of 3.21%, fat of 22.29%, and carbohydrate of 59.61%. The physical characteristics were hardness 4,219.53 g, fracturability 5.62 mm, °hue 84.15, and sensory with an attractive overall appearance. The results indicate that the cookies’ protein and fiber content met the supplementary food requirements of the Ministry of Health, Republic of Indonesia. However, the values were lower than predicted by the optimization, while maintaining favorable physical, chemical, and sensory characteristics.

Abstract

Termites function as soil engineers and play a crucial role in the decomposition of organic matter. This study was conducted in the Alas Bromo Educational Forest under pine stands of various age classes. The objective of the research was to investigate the influence of termite activity on soil fertility, as indicated by the levels of soil organic matter (SOM), soil organic carbon (SOC), and soil pH. The method employed involved baiting pinewood stakes placed in polyvinyl chloride pipes (PVC) to assess termite activity, which was evaluated based on the level of damage to the stakes and classified into damage classes. The stakes used were made of pine wood, similar to the species of the overlying stands. This study identified four termite genera in the Alas Bromo area: Macrotermes, Microtermes, Odontotermes, and Schedorhinotermes. The findings revealed significant differences in SOM and SOC across the stake damage classes within each stand. In general, the highest values were observed in soils with the highest levels of termite activity, as reflected in damage class 4. However, soil pH values did not show significant differences across the varying levels of termite activity. These findings highlight that termites, as soil engineers, play a vital role in enhancing soil fertility and hold promising potential for application in the pursuit of sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

Indonesia’s reliance on rice as a staple food is challenged by declining harvested areas, highlighting the need for alternative carbohydrate sources. Analog rice made from white corn flour (WCF) and canna starch (CS), with glycerol monostearate (GMS) as a texture modifier, offers a potential solution to promote food diversification and reduce dependence on conventional rice. The purpose of this study was to determine the ideal WCF–CS ratio and GMS level. This study employed a completely randomized design with two factors: the WCF to CS ratios (60:40, 70:30, 80:20) and the addition of GMS (2%, 3%, 4%), each replicated three times. Analog rice was prepared through a process of mixing, steaming, extrusion, and drying. Physicochemical properties (moisture, ash, protein, carbohydrate, starch, amylose, amylopectin, rehydration, bulk density, and cooking time), as well as sensory attributes, were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. The formulation containing 70% WCF, 30% CS, and 3% GMS yielded the most desirable product with 0.67 g ml-1 of bulk density, 98.27% of rehydration ability, 207.67 seconds of cooking time, 7.02% of moisture, 0.46% of ash, 0.24% of fat, 6.47% of protein, 85.82% of carbohydrate, 77.28% of starch, 26.45% of amylose, and 50.84% of amylopectin. The results of the organoleptic scores for color, taste, texture, and aroma were 3.12, 3.52, 3.84, and 3.60, respectively. This research highlights the potential of local carbohydrate sources such as corn and canna for analog rice production to support national food diversification.

Abstract

Single-use plastic straw pollution is driving the need for environmentally friendly alternatives. This study aims to develop and characterize edible straws based on sorghum flour with the addition of bovine gelatin and analyze the effect of variations in Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) concentration. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used in a non-factorial format with four levels of CMC concentration (0%, 1%, 3%, and 5%), each with three replications. The straws are made through mixing, semi-wet molding, and two-stage oven drying at 60 °C. The product’s characteristics were tested, including water resistance, absorption, moisture content, organoleptic properties, and biodegradability. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) to determine significant differences between treatments. The analysis showed that adding 3% CMC (C3) produced the optimal formulation, exhibiting the highest water resistance of 63.21 minutes in cold water, the lowest water absorption of 26.2%, and a final moisture content of 8.7%. This formulation also received the highest scores in organoleptic tests for color, aroma, taste, and texture. In contrast, 5% CMC caused the dough to become stiff. Straws show the best resistance to cold water temperatures, followed by normal temperatures. The key finding of this study is that all straw formulations can be fully decomposed (100%) in soil media within 15 days. It was concluded that this sorghum flour-based edible straw has excellent potential to replace conventional plastic straws as a functional and environmentally friendly alternative.

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.
