The Role of Nutritional Status in Improving Physical Endurance in Athletes: A Literature Review
No full textIn the context of modern sports science, understanding the profound impact of nutritional status on athletic performance has become increasingly crucial. This study aims to review the existing literature regarding the role of nutritional status in increasing the physical endurance of athletes. Optimal nutritional status plays an important role in supporting athletic performance through mechanisms involving nutrient intake, energy metabolism, and post-workout recovery. Various studies show that malnutrition can result in decreased physical ability, increased risk of injury, and slow recovery. Conversely, adequate nutrition can improve muscle strength, cardiovascular endurance, and metabolic efficiency. This article summarizes the key findings from various studies that highlight the importance of macro and micro nutrition, hydration, and proper diet planning in supporting athletes\u27 physical endurance. The conclusion of this review underscores that nutritional strategies tailored to the individual needs of athletes are essential to achieve optimal performance and minimize the risk of injury. More research is needed to explore the complex interactions between various nutritional factors and physical fitness components.
Chemical and Physical Quality Biscuits Substitution Pumpkin and Leaves Katuk
No full textDependence on wheat flour is very high, so food diversification efforts must be made to reduce this dependence. Biscuits are a product made from wheat flour as the main ingredient, and they have the potential to be developed using pumpkin and Katuk leaves. This study aims to determine the chemical and physical quality of biscuits substituted for pumpkin, and Katuk leaves. This research was an experimental study with a completely randomized design (CRD), consisting of 3 treatments and one standard treatment, with three repetitions of each treatment, so there were 12 treatment units. Chemical quality includes energy, carbohydrate content, protein, fat, Fe, calcium, vitamin C, β- carotene, and vitamin A. Physical quality is assessed using diameter, thickness, and spread ratio). Data were analyzed using One Way Anova and Krusskal Tests Wallis. The results on the chemical quality of biscuits show a significant effect of substituting pumpkin and Katuk leaves on protein, calcium, zinc, Fe, β- carotene, and vitamin C levels in biscuits. However, fat and carbohydrate levels decreased for energy as the substitution of pumpkin and Katuk leaves increased. The physical quality of biscuits substituted for pumpkin and Katuk leaves shows that the diameter and thickness decrease as the percentage of substitutes for pumpkin and Katuk leaves increases. This situation causes the spread ratio (spread) to increase. This research concludes that substituting pumpkin and Katuk leaves in biscuits significantly affects the chemical and physical quality of the biscuits

Qualitative Study and Antioxidant Activity Herbal Tea Bag of Moringa Leaves (Moringa oleifera Lam.) and Red Ginger (Zingiber officinale var. Rubrum)
No full textMoringa (MO) leaves contain several chemical substances of high value, including vitamin C, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, tannins, and triterpenoids, among which one functions as an antioxidant. Previous research observed that MO leaves have already been developed into various formulations; unfortunately, these formulas could not completely obscure the aroma and taste problems that rendered MO leaves less acceptable to consumers. In this research, Moringa leaf powder (MLP) and red ginger (RG) are combined to cover the unpleasant taste and aroma of MO leaves. The purpose of this study assess the quality of three tea bag formulations, including their water content, ash content, hedonic and antioxidant activities, by quantitative tests; F0 (3 Gr of MLP), F1 (2.25 Gr of MLP, and 0.75 Gr of RG), and F2 (the amount of MLP and RG is equal to 1.5 Gr). This experimental study employs a completely randomized design, three special treatments, and three repetitions. Statistical analysis of quality test results and antioxidant activity uses One-Way ANOVA followed by a post hoc test utilizing the Least Significant Difference (LSD). The water content tests revealed that all three formulations qualified the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), ranging from 3.86% to 4.29%. Adding ginger did not influence the water content (p > 0.05). Otherwise, it increases the ash level from 8.65% to 9.98%. Based on the results of the hedonic test, the panelists preferred F0 over F1 and F2 concerning color by a score of 86%. In contrast, they preferred F2 regarding aroma and taste by a score of 82%. The addition of RG in F1 and F2 was significant to the preference level of panelists (\u27p <0.05). The IC50 value for the antioxidant activity test was highest for F2 at 59.31 ± 0.13 ppm. The addition of RG boosted the antioxidant activity of MO tea products considerably (sig <0.05). Consequently, developing MO tea products containing RG in F2 could be potentially produced as herbal tea beverages with antioxidant properties.
