Abstract

Living around the gold mining area, at risk of exposure to mercury (Hg). Pregnant women exposed to Hg alkyl can cause fetal brain damage so that the baby is born with d  efects. This is due to the target toxicity of Hg, especially the organic metal compounds are the nervous system. Based on a child development screening questionnaire, ±100 children were questioned about their development, motor development, language and social interaction. This research was to see a picture of the development of children living around the Gold Mining village of Kalirejo, Kokap district, Kulon Progo District, Yogyakarta.  The Longitudinal Observational Research Method with serial measurement measured the level of child development in five domains: cognitive, linguistic, motor, social, emotional and behavioral (adaptive behavior) with the Bayley Scale of Infant and Toddler Development Third Edition (BSID III) against 16 infants in the age range of 2-14 weeks (stage I) and 14-26 weeks. (tahap II). The baby's development observations resulted in an average composite development score of 85. Stage I obtained composite scores of cognitive domain; 102.81, language; 107.38, motor: 98.94, social emotional: 100,63 and behavioral: 90.00, while Stage II of each domain had the same scores as 105.94 : cognitive, 105.38: language, 104.81: motor, social-emotional: 98,69 and behavioural: 92.44. The conclusion that the composite child development score was in the average range of 90 - 109 for all domains, means that the child development composite score was still within the normal range (85-115), indicating that there is no developmental impediment. It is recommended to reduce Hg exposure, provide optimal nutrition to the baby and enhance developmental interventions with stimulation to stimulate auditorium, visual, tactile and kinesthetic, thereby improving the quantity and quality of brain cell synapses, to optimize brain function.

Abstract

Sonneratia alba is a mangrove species that grows in areas with salinity and is usually located in estuarine areas. Sonneratia alba produces fruit that can be used as an additional ingredient for making pudding. Previously there has been no study of organoleptic studies of Sonneratia alba pudding. Therefore, it is necessary to study the organoleptic of mangrove pudding from Sonneratia alba fruit. The organoleptic test consists of hedonic tests of taste, colour, aroma, and texture. Sonneratia alba pudding is made several treatments. The results of the hedonic test of Sonneratia alba pudding most preferred by panellists were in sample P2 with the composition of the ratio between Sonneratia alba juice 20% and agar flour 30%. Hedonic test results of taste (4.85), colour (4.62), scent (4.67), and texture (4.68).

Abstract

The important role of health promotion in improving community welfare has encouraged effective innovation to increase nutritional awareness and healthy lifestyle practices. This research explores recent innovations in health promotion strategies, particularly in nutrition and health, to increase awareness and encourage positive behavioral change. Through comprehensive literature analysis, this research identifies and evaluates approaches such as technology interventions, community-based initiatives, and other new strategies. The results show that innovations such as nutrition promotion media (pop-up books, PGS cards, leaflets, nutrition puzzles, and educational videos) as well as active community participation (FGD and lunch menu practices) and empowering health workers and teachers, have succeeded in increasing knowledge. , attitudes and nutritional behavior of the community. Case studies and successful programs show real improvements in community nutrition practices. However, challenges such as limited sample size, short intervention duration, and methodological obstacles need to be overcome. Based on these findings, further research is recommended focusing on: (1) longitudinal research with larger sample sizes to understand long-term impacts; (2) exploration of contextual factors that influence program effectiveness; (3) evaluate the effectiveness of innovation for vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities or people with low education; (4) evaluation of community empowerment strategies and their impact on local health policies; and (5) exploration of cross-sectoral collaboration for holistic and sustainable nutrition promotion programs. These findings provide valuable insights for practitioners, researchers, and policymakers, and serve as a comprehensive resource for designing programs that increase nutrition awareness and encourage healthy practices in communities.

Abstract

As the global population ages, there is a growing emphasis on addressing the dietary needs and overall well-being of older individuals. Bibliometric analysis of existing literature on food innovation for the elderly helps identify research trends and gaps, guiding future exploration to better meet the nutritional needs and preferences of this population. The aim of this research is to examine the literature on food and nutrition for older adults through bibliometric analysis. Data was gathered on April 19th, 2024, from the Scopus database by using the search term "elder* AND food". Articles were restricted to specific subject areas and then analyzed using VOSviewer and descriptive statistics. A total of 746 articles published between 1951 and 2024 were discovered, with a notable rise in publications in the past decade. The United States ranked first in the number of published articles, followed by South Korea and Brazil. Keywords were grouped into 11 clusters, encompassing themes such as diet quality, food security, nutritional status, and elderly care. The analysis underscored the global importance of research on elderly nutrition, underscoring the necessity for international cooperation. Recent developments revealed a concentration on food-based dietary guidelines and the management of food bolus for older individuals. The study also addressed limitations, such as potential biases arising from relying on Scopus and excluding non-English publications.

Abstract

Hospitals as food providers for patients and staff require standardized food storage systems to maintain quality and safety. This study aims to evaluate the compliance of dry and wet food storage using FIFO (First In First Out) and FEFO (First Expired First Out) methods at the Nutrition Installation of Datu Beru Hospital, Aceh Tengah, based on the Pelayanan Gizi Rumah Sakit Kementerian Kesehatan (PGRS KEMENKES) 2013 guidelines. Quantitative descriptive research with a cross-sectional design was conducted through direct observation and assessment sheets using the Guttman Scale on 5 storage staff. Results showed dry food storage scored 9 out of 12 (meeting requirements), but inconsistencies were found in unscheduled warehouse opening, daily room cleaning (twice a day instead of twice a week), and absence of insecticide spraying. Wet food storage scored 7 out of 7 (meeting requirements), though improvements in storage time management are needed. The conclusion states that FIFO and FEFO methods have been implemented with proper stock recording, but improvements in warehouse schedules, cleaning frequency, and pest control are required. Further research should explore causes of non-compliance and develop localized strategies for enhancing adherence.

Abstract

This study investigates nitrite concentration disparities between red and white edible bird’s nests (EBNs), driven by oxidative processes linked to post-harvest washing protocols. Utilizing a randomized block design, ten EBN samples (five red, five white) were collected from a processing facility in Sidoarjo, Indonesia. Red EBNs were sourced from discontinued stock, while white EBNs were obtained from current production batches. Nitrite levels were quantified using UV-Vis spectrophotometry (541 nm), with statistical analysis performed through two-way ANOVA (α = 0.05) and effect size calculations (Cohen’s *d*). Results revealed a 5.7-fold higher nitrite concentration in red EBNs (88.87 ± 12.42 ppm) compared to white EBNs (15.48 ± 4.44 ppm; *p* < 0.05), with a very large effect size (Cohen’s *d* = 6.24) and 93% variance explained by nest type (η² = 0.93). The oxidative degradation of tyrosine residues during intensive washing, coupled with iron-mediated catalysis and environmental factors, was identified as the primary driver of nitrite accumulation in red nests. Despite compliance with Indonesia’s safety threshold (200 ppm), the elevated nitrite levels raise concerns about nitrosamine formation in acidic gastric environments, necessitating mitigation strategies such as polyphenol integration and optimized drying protocols. This study highlights the critical influence of processing practices on nitrite dynamics and underscores the need for standardized protocols to align with stringent international standards. Future research should address endogenous nitrite sources, microbial contributions, and environmental parameter impacts to enhance food safety and industry sustainability.
