Abstract

Background : Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a global health issue with increasing prevalence year by year. In 2023, the prevalence of CKD in Indonesia reached 0.18%, affecting approximately 638,178 individuals. CKD contributes to a high healthcare cost burden due to its complications, including gut dysbiosis, which triggers systemic inflammation and worsens the patient's condition. Changes in gut microbiota play a crucial role in the progression of this disease, with dysbiotic microbiota producing uremic toxins that further deteriorate the health of CKD patients. Managing gut dysbiosis has become one of the approaches that can help improve patient conditions, and the use of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics has been extensively studied as potential therapeutic agents. Objective : This study generally aims to formulate a synbiotic yogurt product based on Malang apple (Malus sylvestris) and Bantan banana (Musa acuminata C.). Specifically, the objectives of this study include: testing the organoleptic and descriptive properties of the synbiotic yogurt product, analyzing the physical and chemical properties of the synbiotic yogurt, and examining the effect of treatments on organoleptic attributes (color, aroma, taste, texture, mouthfeel, aftertaste, and overall) and chemical properties (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, moisture, and ash content) of the synbiotic yogurt product. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : This study was conducted in December 2024 at the Nutrition and Nutraceutical Laboratory, Faculty of Pharmacy, Mulawarman University. The research method involved several stages, starting with the formulation of synbiotic yogurt using a combination of full cream and skim milk, the addition of apple and banana puree, and the addition of probiotic bacterial starter cultures such as Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Bifidobacterium. Organoleptic testing was conducted to determine the most preferred formula based on color, aroma, taste, texture, mouthfeel, aftertaste, and overall attributes. The selected formula was chosen based on weighted scoring. The effect of treatment interactions (the ratio of full cream and skim milk addition as well as the ratio of sugar and starter addition) on the organoleptic and chemical properties of the synbiotic yogurt product was analyzed using two-way ANOVA (p<0.05). Results : The study showed that formula F5, consisting of a mixture of full cream and skim milk (50%:50%), apple and banana puree (50%), 5% sugar, and 5% starter, was the most preferred formula by the panelists based on organoleptic testing, including color, aroma, consistency, taste, mouthfeel, aftertaste, and overall, compared to other formulas: F1, F2, F3, and F4. Based on physical analysis, F5 had a pH of 4.95±0.01 and a viscosity of 12.74±0.01, indicating a thick texture and a sour taste that meets probiotic yogurt standards. The chemical composition of F5 includes 73.26±12.62 kcal energy, 5.65%±1.56 protein, 2.94%±0.80 fat, 6.06%±0.20 carbohydrates, 85.57% ±0.03 moisture content, and 0.58%±0.01 ash content. Two-way ANOVA analysis results showed an interaction effect of the treatments (p<0.005) on the sensory/organoleptic and chemical properties of the synbiotic yogurt product.Conclusion/Lesson Learned : The synbiotic yogurt formula most preferred by panelists is F5, with an energy content of 73.26±12.62 kcal, 5.65%±1.56 protein, 2.94%±0.80 fat, 6.06%±0.20 carbohydrates, 85.57%±0.03 moisture, and 0.58%±0.01 ash content. The overall physical and chemical properties of the synbiotic yogurt meet the SNI 3820-2015 standard. The results of the two- way ANOVA test indicate an interaction effect of treatments on the sensory and chemical properties of the synbiotic yogurt product. Further research is recommended to conduct preclinical tests with experimental animals to assess the efficacy of the product as a modulator for gut dysbiosis.

Abstract

One of the health problems that has become a global issue is stunting. where Stunting is a form of malnutrition that creates a global public health problem and is an important supporting factor in achieving the Human Development Index in a country nation. Stunting (dwarfism) is a condition where a toddler has less length or height compared to age. Stunting is a disorder or failure of linear growth that occurs in children with signs of pathological disorders and chronic conditions. This represents delayed growth due to long-term malnutrition associated with increased morality and mortality, impaired growth, impaired development and cognitive function. Stunting increases the risk of chronic disease in adulthood. Stunting is currently still being faced by developing countries. Approximately 65% of deaths among children under five are due to malnutrition and malnutrition, which represents one third of the disease burden among children and mothers. Indonesia is one of the developing countries that has a high prevalence of stunting, accounting for the top five cases of stunting, out of 88 countries in the world. The 2020 Global Nutrition Report shows an increase in the number of stunted children under five from 149 million to 149.2 million in 2018. Based on global data, the prevalence of stunting in rural areas is greater than in urban areas with a prevalence of 35.6% and 25% respectively. 6%. Based on gender, more boys experience stunting, namely 33.5% compared to girls at 31.2%. This research aims to have an influence on reducing the stunting rate in Karang Jinawi Village by holding DESAS (Healthy Kitchens to Overcome Stunting) activities to increase the knowledge and skills of mothers in making additional food (PMT) pudding from Moringa leaves. Activities are carried out in stages starting from analyzing the situation of the intervention area, designing a Plan of Action (POA), surveying the root causes of problems and solutions to problems in the intervention area, carrying out Focus Discussion Groups (FGD) using the USG (Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth) method as well as interventions and evaluation. Determining the problem in Sepaku Subdistrict, Karang Jinawi Village begins by reviewing secondary and primary data. Secondary data is in the form of Karang Jinawi Village and Subdistrict Profile data for 2024. DESAS (Healthy Kitchens Overcome Stunting) is an activity carried out jointly as an effort to overcome the problem of malnutrition among pregnant women who have the potential to give birth to stunted children in Karang Jinawi Village. Through the delivery of material and practice of making additional food (PMT) pudding from Moringa leaves. The DESAS (Healthy Kitchen to Overcome Stunting) program is implemented at the Karang Village Hall Jinawi on Thursday, July 18 2024, 09.30 to 11.30 WITA. Achieving an increase in understanding of the Karang Jinawi community, especially mothers who attended the presentation of the DESAS program using a questionnaire instrument according to the material provided to determine the level of understanding of the DESAS activities carried out. Measurement of participants' level of understanding was measured based on participants' level of enthusiasm in listening to the material, participants' enthusiasm in asking questions and answers to the quizzes given. This was proven by one participant who answered correctly. During the program implementation process, there were two participants who answered the questions correctly. Based on the results of the question and answer session, there was active interaction between participants and presenters. The participants have also succeeded in answering the questions given correctly. This shows good understanding from the participants after being given education. Apart from that, ask questions regarding the nutritional content and processing of Moringa leaves. In Karang Jinawi Village, it shows that meeting nutritional needs during pregnancy is very important for maternal health and fetal development. The nutritional needs of pregnant women increase significantly compared to non-pregnant women, because mothers not only have to meet their own nutritional needs, but also to support their growth and development. fetal development. Lack of nutritional intake can cause various health problems, both for mothers and babies, such as low birth weight, growth restrictions, and the risk of congenital defects. The DESAS program plays an important role in increasing nutritional knowledge among pregnant women through education and direct practice. With training on making additional nutritious foods, such as pudding from Moringa leaves, this program not only provides theory but also practical skills that can be applied in everyday life.

Abstract

Background : Maternal underweight impacts pregnancy outcomes, including low birth weight (LBW), preterm birth, miscarriage, bleeding during labor, and even maternal death, making early detection of maternal underweight essential. The threshold of MUAC ≤23.5 cm has traditionally been used as a predictor for Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in women of reproductive age (WRA), but its sensitivity and specificity in pregnant women remain unknown. Therefore, research is needed to enable early detection of underweight in pregnant women. Objective : This study aims to assess the sensitivity and specificity of MUAC using ROC analysis to detect underweight in pregnant women. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : The design of this quantitative study was crosssectional study. The subjects were 118 pregnant women which selected by a total sampling technique in the Cidadap District of Bandung City. Results : ROC analysis indicated that pregnant women with a MUAC cut-off of ≤21.45 cm can be classified as underweight, with an AUC value of 86.6%, sensitivity of 82.5%, and specificity of 75%. Based on the identified cut-off point, the prevalence of underweight among pregnant women was 22.7%. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : MUAC measurement is a reliable predictor of underweight in pregnant women, demonstrating good sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, a MUAC threshold of ≤21.45 cm is recommended for healthcare providers in Bandung City to detect the risk of underweight in pregnant women.
