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

The characteristics of ice cream with the addition of beneng taro inulin and red dragon fruit extract were evaluated in this study. Various concentrations of beneng taro inulin (3%, 4%, and 5%) and dragon fruit extract (25%, 30%, and 35%) were added as fat substitutes and natural dyes, respectively. The results showed that the addition of 4% taro beneng inulin had a significant effect on the overrun value, melting time, and fat content of ice cream. The addition of 30% red dragon fruit peel extract significantly affected the color of ice cream, fat content, antioxidant activity, and total plate number. There is an interaction between the treatment of the addition of taro beneng inulin and red dragon fruit peel extract on color analysis, namely the L* notation (brightness) and a* notation (redness). A3B3 ice cream was selected as the best ice cream formula based on existing criteria

Abstract

Beneng taro is an indigenous tuber from Banten which is rich of functional components such as dietary fiber and carotenoid pigments. So far, processing of beneng taro has not been developed. One of method to process it is to make into flour. Another material that is not utilized is rice bran. Rice bran is a by-product of rice milling which has only been used as animal feed, but the majority of functional components in rice accumulate in rice bran such as dietary fiber, oryzanol, and phytosterol compounds. The application of beneng taro flour and rice bran for food products can increase food diversification, beside of that it can reduce the use of wheat flour. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding beneng taro flour and rice bran to bread on the physical and sensory characteristics. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with one factor, namely the ratio of wheat flour: beneng taro flour: rice bran (control, 65:30:5; 65:25:10; 65:20:15). This research was carried out in two repetitions. The result of this research were the increase of rice bran and the decrease of beneng taro flour substitution in bread decrease the expansion ratio, lightness (L*) of the crust and crumb, a* chromaticity of the crust, b* chromaticity of the crust and crumb, hue (oh) of the crust and crumb, and sensory acceptance. However, the increase of rice bran and decrease of beneng taro flour substitution increased density of dough, density of bread, and a* chromaticity of the crumb. Based on the results of sensory analysis, the bread with 65:30:5 formula was the best formula because it was close to the control.

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

The occurrence of stunting has become one of the global health challenges, especially in developing countries. The average prevalence of stunting in North Maluku province from 2021 to 2023 is around 24.9% for children under 5 years old. Stunting is a nutritional problem caused by multiple factors. Factors suspected to influence the occurrence of stunting include the diversity of food consumption and food security. Food diversity can be described through the expected food patterns score, while food security can be measured using the food security index indicator. The purpose of this research is to identify the factors causing stunting in North Maluku province from 2021 to 2023. This study uses a cross-sectional design with secondary data sources. Data analysis used Pearson and Spearman correlation as well as multiple linear regression tests. The results of the bivariate data analysis show that the average years of schooling for women (P<0.001) and the ratio of healthcare workers (P<0.001) are significantly related. As for the desirable dietary patterns (P=0.426), the population below the poverty line (P=0.142), food expenditure >65% (P=0.822), lack of access to electricity (P=0.177), lack of access to clean water (P=0.833), and life expectancy (P=0.110), these are variables that do not have a significant relationship. The multivariate analysis results show that the p-value for the average years of schooling for women is 0.005 and the healthcare worker ratio is 0.004. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a significant influence between the average years of schooling for women and the ratio of healthcare workers on the incidence of stunting in children in North Maluku province from 2021 to 2023.
