Abstract

Jelly candy is one of the processed foods that is popular among all ages. Generally, Jelly candy produced on the market contains sugar, water, and essence only, without considering its nutritional content. As it is low nutritional content, it needs a great strategy to produce nutritious jelly candy by replacing the raw material with other ingredients that are rich in nutrients such as soybean sprouts. Soybean sprouts contain high protein (127% higher than soybean seeds), which is an important component for support growth, development, and maintenance of the human body tissues. This study provides food diversification in jelly candy that is rich in protein, by analyzing the effect of concentration of soybean sprout juice (0%, 40%, 70%, and 100%) and processing temperature (high temperature using oven (80ᵒC) and low temperature using refrigerator (5ᵒC)) using a 4x2 factorial randomized design. The results showed that there was no significant effect (P<0.05) between treatments in the analysis of moisture, protein and carbohydrate content, but there was no significant difference (P><0.05) of soybean sprout concentration and processing temperature between treatments in the parameters of moisture and ash content, but a significant difference (P<0.05) between treatments in the analysis of moisture, protein and carbohydrate content, but there was no significant difference (P><0.05) showed in the parameter of fat, protein, and carbohydrate content. The best treatment was obtained by adding 100% soybean sprouts and processed in the refrigerator (low temperature), with an average of 18.43% moisture content, 0.82% ash content, 7.75% fat content, 9.75% protein content, and 37.09% carbohydrates.

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) which is defined as a lack of protein and energy consumption is one of the factors causing maternal mortality. The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in the world according to WHO (2019) is 303,000. The maternal mortality rate in ASEAN is 235 per 100,000 live births. The nutritional condition of pregnant women is influenced by several variables, namely food intake, maternal health conditions, gestational age, maternal activity, income, knowledge, cultural food taboos, pregnancy spacing and parity. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between eating habits and the nutritional status of pregnant women at the Kuta Padang Layung Health Center. This study describes the correlation using a cross-sectional method using quantitative data, sampling techniques using research instruments, food recall. The results showed that in 2023 the eating habits and nutritional status of pregnant women at the Kuta Padang Layung Health Center had a p-value of 0.000 (p <0.05). For the nutritional status of pregnant women, the majority are in the good category (69.4%), the highest energy intake (65.9%), the highest protein intake (76.5%), the highest carbohydrate intake (67.1%), the highest fat intake (90.6%), and the highest consumption frequency (71.8%) are all in the good category.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of combining hydrodistillation and ultrasound methods on the yield and quality of eucalyptus leaf oil. The study uses factorial randomized block design (RBD) with two replicates, focusing on the treatment variables of ultrasound exposure time and hydrodistillation temperature and pressure. The ultrasound exposure time is divided into three categories: 5-10 minutes, 15-20 minutes, and 25-30 minutes, while the hydrodistillation temperatures are set at 50-60 °C, 70-80 °C, and 90-100 °C. The essential oil yield and quality were analyzed using ANOVA and Least Significant Difference (LSD) tests. Results indicate that the combination of hydrodistillation at 70-80 °C with ultrasound exposure for 15-20 minutes significantly increases oil yield and enhances the chemical composition of eucalyptus oil, particularly its cineole content. This method shows potential as an alternative to traditional extraction techniques, offering improvements in both efficiency and product quality. keywords:  Cineole, Eucalyptus oil, Extraction yield, Hydrodistillation, Ultrasound

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.

Abstract

The Dietary Diversity Score (DDS) is an important indicator for assessing the quality of food consumption within a population, directly linked to the nutritional status of individuals, particularly toddlers, who are highly vulnerable to nutritional issues. This study aims to analyze changes in DDS scores and their influence on toddler nutritional status, life expectancy, poverty levels, and the Food Security Index (IKP) in Island of Borneo. This research is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study consists of 55 cities/districts on the Island of Borneo. The data used are secondary data from 2022 and 2023, analyzed using a simple linear regression test.The results indicate that DDS scores and toddler nutritional status (stunting, wasting, underweight, and overweight) in Island of Borneo show no statistically significant relationships, with p-values of 0.948, 0.288, 0.326, and 0.850 (p > 0.05), respectively. However, there is a significant influence of DDS scores on poverty levels (p = 0.011).

Abstract

Lumi-lumi fish (Harpadon nehereus) is an endemic fish commonly found in West Aceh, known for its high protein content and various minerals. Crackers are a food often consumed as a snack, a complement to dishes, or as an appetite stimulant, with a wide variety of consumers ranging from children to adults. However, the content of crackers made from tapioca is known to have a very low protein content of 0.5%. The addition of lumi-lumi fish is expected to increase the protein content of crackers. This study aims to identify the best formulation and analyse the nutritional content of Lumi-lumi fish crackers. The research method is arranged in a one-factorial Completely Randomised Design, which consists of 4 different levels of Lumi-lumi fish concentration treatment (P0: 0%, P2: 15%, P3: 20%, and P4: 25% Lumi-lumi fish)—then identified the expansion power of crackers between treatments. Next, a hedonic method sensory test was conducted to obtain the selected formulation through a scoring test. The chosen products were analysed for nutritional content in comparison to a control group, namely P0 (0% Lumi-lumi fish). Sixty untrained panellists conducted sensory testing. The results showed a significant effect on the cracker expansion power (P = 0.001), with the highest result obtained by treatment P3 at 58.54%. In the scoring test, the selected Lumi-lumi fish crackers were treatment P3. Then based on the results of nutritional content, it was found that the addition of 25% of Lumi-lumi fish meat was able to increase the nutritional content compared to the control treatment (PO), namely the ash content from 0.83 ± 0.39% to 1.36 ± 0.25%, fat content from 0.42 ± 0.08% to 5.81 ± 0.39%, protein content from 7.16 ± 0.55% to 8.58 ± 0.17% and fiber content from 1.47 ± 0.14% increased to 1.81 ± 0.21%. However, there was a decrease in carbohydrates from 90.11 ± 0.59% to 82.44 ± 0.54%. For the analysis of water content, it follows the rules of SNI 01-2713-2009. To produce Lumi-lumi fish crackers with the best organoleptic acceptance, it is recommended to use a concentration of Lumi-lumi fish of 25%.

Abstract

Final-year students often experience academic stress, impacting their concentration, motivation, and thesis completion. Additionally, emotional eating has known negative health consequences, with a significant link between depression and weight gain. This quantitative study aimed to explore the relationship between academic stress levels, emotional eating, and the incidence of obesity among 163 final-year nutrition students at Universitas Teuku Umar. Univariate and bivariate tests were conducted for analysis. The findings revealed a significant relationship between academic stress and obesity (p-value = 0.004 < 0.05), with a moderate correlation strength of 0.485. Similarly, a significant relationship was found between emotional eating and obesity (p-value = 0.000 < 0.05). Furthermore, a simultaneous significant relationship between academic stress, emotional eating, and obesity was identified (Chi-Square Asymp Sig = 0.004 < 0.005). The logistic regression model was deemed suitable (Sig value = 0.996 > 0.05), indicating its effectiveness in predicting the observed classifications. The independent variables explained 59.9% of the dependent variable, with other factors accounting for the remainder. In conclusion, academic stress and emotional eating significantly influence the incidence of obesity among final-year nutrition students at Universitas Teuku Umar.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a degenerative disease whose prevalence has consistently increased over the past two decades, as reported by the IDF (2017). Its etiology is complex, and it is known that the prevalence of DM is higher in women than in men in Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with the incidence of DM, specifically Type 2 DM, among women in Indonesia. This research employed a cross-sectional design, utilizing secondary data from the 2018 Indonesia Basic Health Research, namely Riskesdas. The study subjects were women aged 19-59 years. Bivariate data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. The results showed that central obesity, age, physical activity, emotional mental health, and fruit and vegetable consumption are significantly associated with the occurrence of Type 2 DM in Indonesian women (p-value < 0.05). Women with central obesity had a 2.29 times higher likelihood of developing Type 2 DM compared to those without central obesity (OR = 2.29; 95% CI: 2.09–2.50). Elevated odds were also observed in pre-elderly women aged 45-59 years (OR = 24.33; 95% CI: 15.86–37.34), those with insufficient physical activity (OR = 1.15; 95% CI: 1.03–1.28), those experiencing emotional mental health disorders (OR = 1.65; 95% CI: 1.45–1.88), and those with inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption (OR = 0.77; 95% CI: 0.67–0.89).
