Study of the response to the glycemic index of rice starch (Oryza sativa L) modified by physical and enzymatic treatment
Get PDFExcessive rice consumption with a high glycemic index has a negative effect on health. This study aimed to determine the effects of physical and enzymatic modifications of rice starch on estimated glycemic index (eIG). This study was conducted between June and November 2023. This experimental study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments: heat moisture treatment (HMT)-microwave, HMT-autoclave, and enzymatic pullulanase (20 units/g rice starch). The observed parameters included the eIG, amylose content, solubility, swelling power, and thermal characteristics. The eIG values were measured using the in vitro method with four replicates for each treatment. The research data are expressed as the average value ± standard deviation and were analyzed using descriptive methods. The results showed that the HMT-microwave, HMT-autoclave, and enzymatic pullulanase treatments reduced the eIG value of rice starch by 3,06%, 7,19%, and 9,06%, respectively. Thermal analysis using DSC showed that modified starch experienced an increase in the onset temperature (To), peak temperature (Tp), and end-set temperature (Te) compared to normal rice flour. In conclusion, the physical modification of HMT and enzymatic activity can reduce the eIG value of rice starch. This study provides an alternative for the development of functional rice starch-based products with a low glycemic index
Formulasi body scrub alami berbahan sari labu kuning dan ampas kelapa sebagai eksfolian
Get PDFBackground: Pumpkin juice and coconut pulp are natural ingredients that have potential as body scrubs. Pumpkin is known to be rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and β-carotene, which play an important role in protecting the skin from UV damage. Coconut pulp functions as a natural exfoliant that can remove dead skin cells, scrape off the outermost layer of dry and rough skin, and moisturize the skin. The use of these natural ingredients in making body scrubs aims to develop skin care products made from natural ingredients.Objective: This study aims to formulate pumpkin juice (Curcubita moschata) and coconut pulp (Cocos nucifera L.) into a body scrub preparation and evaluate the physical characteristics of the preparation.Methods: Experimental research was conducted at the Unsyiah Herbarium Laboratory and the Pharmaceutics Laboratory of the Poltekkes Kemenkes Aceh from February to April 2023. Evaluation of the preparation includes organoleptic test, homogeneity, spreadability, emulsion type, irritation, liking test, and pH measurement. Data analysis was carried out descriptively.Results: The results showed that the formulated body scrub preparation had a semi-solid shape, yellow color, distinctive aroma of pumpkin juice and coconut pulp, and good homogeneity. The pH of the preparation was in accordance with SNI standards (pH 6.1-6.2), the spreadability met the requirements (5.5 cm), and the type of emulsion formed was oil in water. All preparations did not cause skin irritation, and the formula most preferred by respondents was F3 (20% pumpkin juice and 15% coconut pulp).Conclusion: The combination of pumpkin juice and coconut pulp can be used as a natural exfoliant in body scrub cream
Literature Review: peran vitamin D terhadap inflamasi pada kejadian sindrom ovarium polikistik (SOPK)
Get PDFBackground: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder affecting 5-18% of women of reproductive age, with a high prevalence in Europe and 1,8-15% in Indonesia. PCOS is often associated with chronic inflammation and vitamin D deficiency, which can exacerbate symptoms and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease due to the anti-inflammatory effects of vitamin D.Objectives: To determine the role and most effective dosage of vitamin D in reducing inflammatory markers through a literature review. Methods: The methodology employed is a Systematic Literature Review using the PRISMA method. A search in the Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Scopus databases yielded 1,046 articles, of which 7 RCT articles were selected for analysis. The selected articles investigate the effects of vitamin D on inflammation in PCOS, with a total population of 434 participants, published between 2019 and 2024, and were deemed suitable using The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal method. Results: Out of seven randomized controlled trials (RCTs), five showed that vitamin D supplementation reduced levels of inflammatory biomarkers such as hs-CRP in patients with PCOS. Results varied depending on the dosage, but two specific dosages of vitamin D supplementation 4,000 IU and 50,000 IU showed potential as adjunctive therapy for managing PCOS. Conclusion: Vitamin D supplementation is effective in reducing inflammation in PCOS and has potential as a beneficial adjunctive therapy with positive implications for the long-term health of patients. Dosages of 4,000 IU per day and 50,000 IU every two weeks have been proven effective in reducing PCOS-related inflammation. However, due to the limited number of studies reviewed, the most effective combination of micronutrients to be used alongside vitamin D has yet to be determined.KeywordsInflammation, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, vitamin
Analysis of maternal factors and food security with the incidence of stunting in children 0-59 months of age in Sungai Penuh City
Get PDFThe high incidence of stunting is the leading cause of death in children under five years of age worldwide. Sungai Penuh City is one of the urban areas in Indonesia that has experienced an increase in the prevalence of stunting. Stunting is caused by long-term nutritional deficiency in the mother due to inadequate food supply due to low household food security. Stunting can also occur because of the reproductive condition of the mother, who is not ready to conceive. This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze maternal factors and food security that have the greatest influence on the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 0-59 months in Sungai Penuh City using data from the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey conducted in August-September 2022. The sample consisted of 308 toddlers living in urban areas. Data were analyzed using descriptive non-parametric statistical tests with the chi-square test and Logistic Regression test. The results of this study prove that short maternal stature has a significant relationship with the incidence of stunting in toddlers (p0,05). Maternal short stature is an indicator of past chronic malnutrition and a major predictor of stunting in children under fiv
