<![CDATA[This research aims to examine the acceptability of color, taste and aroma of candied starfruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) with three different formulations, namely fresh starfruit, dried candied and wet candied. The assessment was carried out by 30 trained panelists using the Hedonic Scale Scoring method. The analysis results show that there are significant differences in the acceptability of color and taste of sweets based on different formulations. Wet sweets (P3) received the highest assessment in all aspects, including color, taste and aroma. Although aroma plays an important role in determining the deliciousness of food, statistical test results show that sweet formulations do not significantly influence the perception of aroma by panelists. These results provide important insights in developing candied starfruit products that are more in line with consumer preferences.]]>

<![CDATA[Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with smoking identified as a significant risk factor. This study investigates the impact of nicotine dependence on triglyceride levels among male smokers diagnosed with hypertension. Blood samples and Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) scores were collected from 31 participants aged 30-65 years at a community health center. Triglyceride levels were analyzed alongside demographic and smoking-related variables. While age, cigarettes per day (CPD), and cigarette type showed no significant association with triglyceride levels, individuals with low nicotine dependence exhibited a trend towards higher triglyceride levels. However, this association was not statistically significant. Uncontrolled confounding variables like BMI, diet, and physical activity may have influenced the results. Further research with larger sample sizes and robust controls is necessary to clarify these relationships definitively]]>

<![CDATA[Effervescent powder formulations combining red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) extract and honey were developed and evaluated for their physical, chemical, and antibacterial properties. The formulations were prepared using wet granulation method, and their organoleptic properties, moisture content, flow characteristics, dispersibility, foam height, pH, and hedonic responses were assessed. Additionally, the antibacterial activity of the formulations against Streptococcus pyogenes was evaluated using agar diffusion method. The results showed that the formulations exhibited variations in color, odor, taste, and physical form, with formulation F3 containing 10% red ginger extract demonstrating the best sensory attributes. All formulations met the moisture content and flow time criteria, indicating good stability and handling properties. They also displayed rapid dispersibility and proper foam height upon dissolution. The pH values fell within the acceptable range for consumption. However, none of the formulations showed significant antibacterial activity against Streptococcus pyogenes. Further optimization may be required to enhance the formulations' antibacterial efficacy.]]>

<![CDATA[This study investigates the efficacy of diabetic foot exercises and warm water foot soaking in improving peripheral blood circulation in patients with diabetes mellitus. A paired samples test was conducted to assess the correlation between pre- and post-intervention data. The results revealed a significant correlation (p < 0.05), indicating the effectiveness of the interventions in enhancing peripheral blood circulation. Warm water foot soaking alleviated pain by stimulating endorphin production and dilating blood vessels, while diabetic foot exercises contributed to improved circulation and ulcer prevention. The combined approach holds promise for integrating into comprehensive diabetes care programs to enhance patients' quality of life and prevent complications.
