Abstract

Pregnant women are a vulnerable group prone to malnutrition-induced anemia. In 2023, Puskesmas Tamamaung reported a staggering 73.9% prevalence of anemia among pregnant women. Anemia in pregnancy poses risks such as maternal mortality, miscarriage, intrauterine growth retardation, and postpartum hemorrhage. To address this, tomato juice, rich in vitamin C crucial for iron absorption, is proposed as a potential solution to enhance hemoglobin levels.The objective of this quasi-experimental study is to assess the efficacy of tomato juice supplementation in increasing hemoglobin (Hb) levels among pregnant women diagnosed with anemia. A quasi-experimental study utilizing a pre-test post-test non-equivalent control group design was conducted. The study population comprised 28 second and third-trimester pregnant women with anemia registered at Puskesmas Tamamaung from February to March 2024. All 28 participants were included as the total sample. Data were collected using observation sheets and hemoglobin measurement tools. Paired t-tests and independent t-tests were employed for data analysis.Significant differences were observed in hemoglobin levels before and after tomato juice consumption among pregnant women at Puskesmas Tamamaung. Tomato juice supplementation was found to be more effective in increasing hemoglobin levels compared to iron tablet supplementation alone.Tomato juice facilitates hemoglobin synthesis by expediting the process from erythroblasts to normoblasts and reticulocytes, thereby accelerating hemoglobin formation.The administration of tomato juice effectively increases hemoglobin levels among pregnant women with anemia. This underscores the potential of tomato juice as a supplementary intervention in combating maternal anemia during pregnancy.

Abstract

Anemia poses a significant health challenge, particularly among pregnant women, with Indonesia facing a notable burden in maternal mortality rates (MMR). This study investigates the efficacy of date fruit and honey supplementation in addressing anemia among third-trimester pregnant women attending Kramatwatu Community Health Center. Drawing on a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, the research aims to elucidate the impact of this intervention on hemoglobin (HB) levels. The prevalence of anemia among pregnant women is alarming, with all respondents in the study experiencing anemia before the intervention. However, following the provision of date fruit and honey, a substantial increase in HB levels was observed, indicating a promising avenue for improving maternal health outcomes. Utilizing SPSS for analysis, univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted to describe variables and test intervention effects. The study underscores the potential effectiveness of date fruit and honey supplementation in ameliorating anemia among pregnant women, although further research is warranted to ascertain long-term efficacy and optimal dosages. Comprehensive interventions addressing nutritional deficiencies and healthcare access are crucial for advancing maternal health goals and reducing MMR in Indonesia.

Abstract

In addition to removing dirt that sticks to the skin, skin wash soap also functions as an antiseptic to ward off skin diseases caused by germs, many antiseptic soaps on the market contain synthetic antibacterials but often have negative side effects. Therefore, it is important to make soap with natural ingredients. For example, salak (Salacca zalacca) fruit peel contains saponin and polyphenol compounds that are antibacterial. To test the antibacterial activity and make liquid soap containing salak fruit peel juice as a cleanser and antibacterial, this study conducted phytochemical screening on salak fruit peel. The research stages include, phytochemical screening of salak fruit peel, liquid soap formulation with 10%, 20%, and 30% salak fruit peel juice (SKBS), liquid soap assessment related to stability, foam height, pH, irritation, and liking test. Antibacterial activity test against germs from volunteer hand wash water specimens against Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The results showed that salak fruit peel juice can be used to make liquid soap that meets physical quality standards because it contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids/triterpenoids, and glycosides. The strongest antibacterial activity with inhibition diameters against Staphylococcus aureus (18.63 ± 0.33) mm and Escherichia coli (16.17 ± 0.33) mm) made 20% SKBS liquid soap the best choice, which was determined by the results of the study.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of degenerative diseases, cancer and other non-communicable diseases is due to exposure to free radicals, so that currently research on antioxidants is increasingly being carried out. This research aims to prove the relationship between antioxidant activity and extraction solvents of different polarities in reducing DPPH radicals ((1,1-Diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl) from horse whip (DPK) leaves (Stachytarpheta jamaicensis L.) from North Kolaka district. The research was carried out using a post test only control experiment. Samples were extracted by maceration with 96% ethanol solvent and n-hexane solvent, then each extract was evaporated using a rotary evaporator, the thick extract was screened for phytochemicals with a second color reagent. The extract was tested for antioxidants against DPPH and measured absorbance using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 515 nm, and compared with the quercetin standard. The results of the phytochemical screening showed the content of anthraquinone glycosides, phenols, and flavonoids for the DPK ethanol extract, while the hexane extract contained alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, tannins and steroids. The antioxidant activity of DPK extract can capture DPPH free radicals with the IC50 value of 96% ethanol extract being 12.17 μg/mL and hexane extract being 5.904 μg/mL. Both extracts are classified as very strong antioxidants like quercetin. There is a relationship between the extraction solvent and the antioxidant ability of HWL extract which is significant at p < 0.05, while the relationship between quercetin, ethanol extract and hexane extract significantly influences the antioxidant ability.
