Abstract

Stunting is a critical health issue with short- and long-term impacts on health and economic outcomes. Insufficient nutritional intake during pregnancy and early childhood is a key factor contributing to stunting. This study examines the efficacy of fish-based Ready-to-Use Supplementary Food (RUSF) rich in omega-3 fatty acids in preventing stunting by improving maternal nutrition during pregnancy. One of the determining factors is insufficient food intake in quantity and quality during pregnancy and the early stages of introducing complementary foods alongside breastfeeding. Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (LCPUFAs) have been shown to positively influence health and linear growth for fetuses and children under two years of age. The use of fish-based functional food for pregnant women and children under two years to prevent stunting has not been widely carried out in Indonesia, in terms of the formulation, product types, or efficacy of Ready-to-Use Supplementary Food (RUSF). The stages of the research method were (1) identifying the content of omega-3 fatty acids and heavy metals in lemuru fish, (2) developing RUSF formulations based on snack bars and lemuru fish sausages made from omega-3-standardized raw materials, and (3) conducting acceptance tests of these RUSF products on children aged 6-35 months and pregnant women. This research is expected to develop nutritional supplements in the form of RUSF based on lemuru fish, mackerel, and tuna to serve as functional food products that help pregnant women prevent and control stunting.

Abstract

Stunting is a significant issue that can impact a child’s future quality of life, affecting both brain and physical development, as well as adult productivity and learning capacity. Behavioral factors play a critical role in stunting prevalence. This study aims to examine how behavioral factors affect stunting in children under the age of five. A case-control study design was used, with a population of 118 stunted children. The sample consisted of 30 stunted children as the case group and 30 non-stunted children as the control group, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews, and analysis was conducted using Odds Ratio and bivariate analysis. The results showed a significant correlation between stunting and maternal awareness (p = 0.007; OR = 4.571), a history of exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.004; OR = 4.929), and dietary factors (p = 0.018; OR = 3.596). However, there was no significant correlation between stunting and maternal education level (p = 0.108; OR = 0.416). Children without a history of exclusive breastfeeding were nearly five times more likely to experience stunting (OR = 4.929). It is recommended that community health centers (Puskesmas) enhance health promotion efforts to prevent stunting linked to parental behavior.

Abstract

Foods play an important role in managing diabetes. Brown rice and oyster mushrooms are prospective foods for diabetics due to their low glycemic index and high b-glucan content respectively. This study aimed to determine the impact of food for special dietary use (FSDU) developed with brown rice and oyster mushrooms on the blood sugar and lipid profile of diabetics. The research was conducted using a quasi-experimental design on purposively selected 32 subjects. The subjects were equally assigned into one group receiving the FSDU and the other for commercial formula. The energy and nutrient intakes, blood sugar, and lipid profile were then compared. The results showed that most subjects were female, over 50 years old, and had been living with diabetes for more than five years. The energy intake of the FSDU group and the commercial formula was not significantly different (p > 0.05). However, the FSDU group had higher intakes of protein, carbohydrates, fiber, magnesium, and sodium than those of the commercial group (p < 0.05). Brown rice and oyster mushrooms contributed significantly to fiber intake. Blood glucose levels decreased insignificantly, while LDL increased significantly in the FSDU group. The fasting blood glucose, 2-hour post-prandial blood glucose, HbA1C, and HDL levels of the groups after treatment were not statistically different (p > 0.05). The FSDU formula could be proposed as an alternative to commercial products with the advantage of better nutrient content.

Abstract

Insufficient breast milk production often occurs during the first week postpartum due to psychological stress, inadequate stimulation of prolactin and oxytocin hormones, and nutritional aspects of the mother’s diet. Efforts to improve and increase breast milk production include providing back massage to induce a relaxing sensation and fulfilling the needs for a balanced nutritious diet, which can effectively stimulate the release of prolactin and oxytocin hormones. This research aims to compare the effectiveness of oxytocin massage and banana flower consumption in increasing breast milk volume. This study used true experimental with a pre-post test design (excluding a control group) and involved 32 postpartum mothers with low-stress levels and low to medium socioeconomic status. Breast milk volume was evaluated by breast pumping for 30 minutes and measuring the output with a measuring cup. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test. There was a 6.375 cc increase in breast milk volume in the banana flower consumption group compared to the oxytocin massage group. However, statistically, both treatments had similar effects, as there were no significant differences between the groups (p = 0.519). Therefore, both oxytocin massage and banana flower consumption can be considered effective alternatives for increasing breast milk volume.

Abstract

Weight gain serves as one of the indicators of the effectiveness of breastfeeding. Stimulation methods, such as consuming banana blossom and receiving oxytocin massage, have the potential to enhance breast milk production. This research aims to compare the effectiveness of these two interventions, banana blossom consumption and oxytocin massage, in breastfeeding mothers regarding infant weight increase at Dinoyo Health Center in Malang. Previous studies have demonstrated that both interventions can enhance breast milk production and infant weight; thus, this study focuses on determining which intervention is more effective. The study employed a true experimental design without a control group, utilizing a pre- and post-intervention approach during the postpartum period from days four to ten. This timeframe was selected because hormone levels, such as progesterone and estrogen, decrease, allowing for a more rapid increase in prolactin production. This approach aims to ensure that infants receive exclusive breastfeeding while promptly addressing any issues related to breast milk production. A total of 32 participants were selected through purposive sampling, with weight measurements taken at the beginning and end of the intervention. The results of the paired t-test indicated that infants of mothers who consumed banana blossom experienced an average weight gain of 246.75 g (p = 0.000). In contrast, infants whose mothers received oxytocin massage showed a weight gain of 217.81 g (p = 0.000). Further analysis with an independent t-test revealed that the consumption of banana blossom was more effective in increasing infant weight, with a mean difference in weight gain of 28.94 g (p = 0.045). This analysis confirmed a significant difference in weight gain between the two groups: mothers who consumed banana blossom had a greater increase in their infants’ weight. Future research is encouraged to explore the effectiveness of various banana blossom preparations and analyze their nutritional content to identify the most effective preparation for improving infant weight.

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is a condition caused by metabolic disorders such as overweight, obesity, physical inactivity, and genetic factors. Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in metabolic syndrome causes oxidative stress, characterized by decreased antioxidant capacity, increased malondialdehyde (MDA), and decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes. Sacha inchi has a high alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) content, tocopherols, and antioxidants that can help protect liver tissue from damage caused by oxidative stress in metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to evaluate how sacha inchi tempeh affects the levels of MDA, SOD enzyme, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in Wistar rats with metabolic syndrome induced by a high-fat high-fructose diet (HFFD). The study used a true experimental pre-and post-control group design on rats with the intervention of sacha inchi tempeh (0.9 g, 1.8 g, 3.6 g) for 5 weeks (35 days). The ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) method with the FineTest procedure was used to measure levels of TAC, MDA, and SOD enzymes. The results of paired T-tests showed a significant difference in TAC levels before and after the intervention in the intervention group compared to the healthy group (p<0.05). MDA and SOD enzyme levels in rat liver tissue also improved significantly (p<0.05). Compared to simvastatin medication therapy, sacha inchi tempeh at a dose of 3.6 g had the best results. Therefore, sacha inchi tempeh is beneficial as a nutraceutical meal in reducing oxidative stress in individuals suffering from metabolic syndrome.

Abstract

Menopause signifies the cessation of ovarian function, presenting significant health challenges for women globally. Hormonal shifts during menopause impact various systems, including cardiovascular and reproductive health. Changes in reproductive organs increase susceptibility to health issues, necessitating effective management strategies. This study used a true experimental method with a randomized post-test-only control group design to investigate the potential of Phaleria macrocarpa fruit extract, which contains flavonoids, to modulate Estrogen Receptor Alpha (ERa) expression in menopausal mice. Following ovariectomy (OVX), mice treated with flavonoid showed increased ERa expression, with the highest expression observed at a dose of P2 (7.5 mg/mice/day), approaching those in non-OVX control (K-) with a percentage difference of 29.82%. Compared to the OVX control group (K+), the percentage increase was 2387.74%. Therefore, the P2 dose is considered the optimum dose. Regression analysis revealed a significant correlation of 43.3% between flavonoid dosage and ERa expression (p < 0.05). These findings suggest flavonoids as promising natural Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) for managing menopausal symptoms and reducing endometrial disease risk with ERa modulation. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms of flavonoids, including molecular pathways such as ligand binding and transcription, interactions with other hormones like progesterone, long-term effects, and potential clinical applications. To initiate clinical trials, the author established the P1 dose (3.75 mg/mice/day), which demonstrated expression levels approaching the effects produced by P2. Overall, flavonoids offer potential therapeutic benefits in addressing menopausal health concerns, with the identified optimal dosage providing valuable guidance for future studies and clinical interventions.

Abstract

Stunting is a significant health problem that can affect the growth and development of toddlers. It is measured according to WHO standards using the height-per-age index, with a score below -2 SD indicating stunting. Supplementary feeding is one of the factors influencing stunting in toddlers, and it can be influenced by birth interval and mother’s education level, which in turn influence changes in the child’s nutritional status. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between birth interval and maternal education level with the rate of supplementary feeding in stunted toddlers aged 24-59 months in Cumedak Village, Jember Regency. An observational analytic method with a cross-sectional study design was used, involving 54 respondents of stunting toddlers aged 24-59 months. Data were collected through interviews and a 2x24-hour food recall method. The results show that the supplementary feeding practices were categorized as less (53.7%). A Chi-square statistical test revealed no significant relationship between birth interval and supplementary feeding rate (p = 0.715, p > 0.05), but there was a significant relationship between the mother’s education level and supplementary feeding rate (p = 0.002, p < 0.05). In conclusion, there is no relationship between birth interval and the quality of supplementary feeding, but there is a significant relationship between maternal education level and the quality of supplementary feeding.

Abstract

Isoflavon merupakan kelompok senyawa isoflavonoid dengan fungsi fisiologis yang bermanfaat bagi tubuh manusia. Bioaktivitas fisiologis isoflavon berasal dari potensinya sebagai antioksidan dan fungsinya yang bermanfaat bagi kesehatan seperti antikanker, antidiabetes, dan antiinflamasi. Isoflavon dalam bentuk tak terkonjugasi atau aglikon dianggap lebih aktif daripada bentuk glukosida. Sprouting merupakan salah satu metode pengolahan untuk meningkatkan bioavailabilitas isoflavon dengan mengubah isoflavon dari glukosida menjadi bentuk aglikon. Pada penelitian ini profil isoflavon dan aktivitas antioksidan yang dipengaruhi oleh perkecambahan selama 48 jam dilakukan pada bagian kecambah yaitu kotiledon (KTL) dan hipokotil (HPL). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa bagian hipokotil mengandung isoflavon aglikon lebih tinggi daripada bagian kotiledon, terutama daidzein. Aktivitas antioksidan dilakukan dengan metode scavenging radikal DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) untuk ekstrak bagian kecambah seperti kotiledon dan hipokotil. Hipokotil memiliki kapasitas antioksidan tertinggi (nilai IC50 1839,113 ppm), yang secara signifikan lebih baik dari kotiledon dan memiliki perbedaan yang signifikan (p<0,05). Perkecambahan meningkatkan aktivitas antioksidan dan kadar isoflavon yang lebih tinggi di hipokotil, terutama untuk isoflavon daidzein.

Abstract

Many street food vendors lack an understanding of food safety standards, resulting in cases of poisoning due to microbiological and chemical contamination. One popular snack sold is aci dicolok (cilok). This study aims to analyze microbiological contamination and hazardous chemical additives in cilok and the sauce sold in the Southern Alun-alun of Kraton Yogyakarta. The parameters of this study included calculating the total number of bacteria and salmonella using Plate Count Agar (PCA) and Salmonella Shigella Agar (SSA) media and qualitatively analyzing the content of formaldehyde, borax, and rhodamine B using Easy test brand test kits on cilok and sauce samples from 10 sellers. The results were then compared with the standards of The Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (BPOM) and the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). The results showed that 40% of cilok and 100% of sauce samples exceeded the total bacteria limit of SNI and BPOM (1 x 105 CFU/g). For the total Salmonella content, 10% cilok and 0% sauce samples exceeded the SNI and BPOM salmonella limit (0 CFU/g). The analysis of hazardous chemical additives revealed that 10 samples were negative for formaldehyde and borax, but 10% of the sauce tested positive for rhodamine B. The study results indicate that cilok and sauce are subject to microbiological and chemical contamination, so education and supervision by the authorities are needed for cilok sellers.
