Abstract

Background: The growing prevalence of chronic diseases has increased interest in natural functional foods over synthetic alternative. Pomegranate peel pectin, a natural gelling agent with dietary fiber, bioactive substances that helps with better digestion, glycemic control and antioxidant defense. As a healthy substitute for commercial pectin, the current study aimed to extract pectin from pomegranate peel and assess its stability and functionality in jelly preparation. Methods: Pectin was extracted from pomegranate peel powder using citric acid. Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used to investigate structural characteristics. Galacturonic acid, amidation, ash content, degree of methyl esterification, and water holding capacity of the extracted pectin were all measured. Pomegranate juice’s proximate composition was ascertained. Both commercial and extracted pectin were used to make the jellies, sweetened with sugar or honey and tested for proximate composition, fiber content, antioxidant activity, sensory quality, and microbiological safety while being stored. Results: The extracted pectin yield was 8.2%, with a high methoxyl content, 1.15% ash, and 235.25% water-holding capacity. Pomegranate juice contained 85.3% moisture, 10.5%, total sugars, 0.15g citric acid, 0.9g ascorbic acid, and 0.03g ash. Jellies made with extracted pectin showed similar sensory and proximate property to those made with commercial pectin. Fiber content increased in jellies with extracted pectin, particularly with honey. Microbial investigation found sugar-added jelly safe for two months and honey-added for three months when refrigerated. Conclusion: This study shows pomegranate peel pectin, a health promoting organic substitute for commercial pectin, can be effectively used in jelly formulation.

Abstract

The participation of husbands in the Family Planning (FP) program is very low even though their role is very important in realizing a prosperous family. The low participation of husbands as FP acceptors is influenced by the limited choice of contraceptives for men and the lack of awareness of the importance of a shared role in reproductive health. The purpose of this study was to identify various factors that influence the participation of husbands as acceptors of the Family Planning (FP) program. This study used the method Systematic Literature Review as its main strategy by searching articles through Google Scholar and ScienceDirect. Based on the results of the search and analysis, seven relevant articles were found and worthy of being used as review material in this research literature review. The review of seven articles showed that husbands’ participation as family planning acceptors was most consistently influenced by knowledge, wife’s support, health workers’ roles, attitudes, and family income. However, other factors such as education, employment, and sources of information show varying results.

Abstract

Stunting remains a pressing public health issue in Indonesia, with East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) recording a prevalence of 37% in 2024- nearly twice the national average. The challenge lies less in calorie deficiency and more in poor diet quality driven by limited dietary diversity. While Indonesia has reduced its national stunting rate to 19.8%, progress in high-burden provinces like NTT remains slow, hindered by inadequate resource allocation and continued reliance on water-intensive rice cultivation in a predominantly dry climate. Locally resilient crops such as sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and moringa (Moringa oleifera) present viable solutions. Both crops thrive in semi-arid conditions and offer nutrient-dense alternatives to rice, addressing protein, iron, and vitamin A deficiencies that contribute to stunting. Recent studies in NTT show that sorghum- and moringa-based foods improve child growth indicators, demonstrating their potential as scalable interventions. Promoting diversified, locally rooted food systems can not only combat stunting but also reduce wasting and underweight, making food diversification a cornerstone of sustainable nutrition strategies in NTT.

Abstract

Background: K1 is the first contact of pregnant women with health workers who have good clinical/obstetric and interpersonal competence, to get integrated and comprehensive services according to standards. The first contact should be made as early as possible in the first trimester (0-12 weeks). The achievement of K1 visits for pregnant women in Bojonegoro Regency in 2022 was 96.7% of pregnant women. Based on the 2022 Monitoring Report of Maternal Health at the Dander Public Health Center, Bojonegoro Regency, the achievement of Pure K1 Visits for pregnant women is 87.41% of the target of 100%, so that there are 12.59% of pregnant women who are not on time at the first visit. Methods: This observational analytic study employed a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 117 pregnant women in their second and third trimesters, selected using simple random sampling. Collecting data using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Multiple Logistic Regression Test to assess influence of knowledge, accessibility, and husband support, and culture on the timeliness of K1 visits with p<0.05. Collecting data using a questionnaire. Results: There was an influence of knowledge (p=0.007), husband support (p=0.017), and culture (p=0.032) on the timeliness of K1 visits. There was no effect of accessibility (p=0.732). Conclusion: Good knowledge of K1 visits will foster awareness and positive attitudes in conducting early pregnancy checks; husband's support can provide motivation, and foster awareness of the importance of early pregnancy checkups; a culture that values and prioritizes the health of the mother and fetus will encourage pregnant women to immediately carry out pregnancy checks early. The researcher is then expected to be able to research other factors that can affect the K1 visit of pregnant women, namely belief, motivation, facilities, community leaders, and health workers.
