BREAKFAST QUALITY AS A POLICY ENTRY POINT TO PREVENT MALNUTRITION IN EARLY CHILDHOOD: KUALITAS SARAPAN SEBAGAI STRATEGI KEBIJAKAN UNTUK MENCEGAH MALNUTRISI PADA ANAK USIA DINI
No full textMalnutrition in early childhood remains a persistent challenge in Indonesia, particularly in rural communities. While existing interventions emphasize breastfeeding, complementary feeding, and main meals, the role of breakfast has been largely overlooked despite its potential contribution to preventing malnutrition. This study aimed to assess the relationship between breakfast quality and malnutrition among preschool children, as well as to identify policy gaps between actual practices and national nutrition standards. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 98 preschoolers aged 4–6 years in two rural kindergartens in Enrekang District, South Sulawesi. Nutritional status was determined using WHO BAZ, while breakfast quality was assessed using a locally adapted Breakfast Quality Index (BQI). Chi-square tests were applied for bivariate analysis, and logistic regression was used to determine protective factors. Policy gap analysis compared field data with national nutrition policies and the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program. The results showed that 69.4% of children had normal nutritional status, while 22.5% were undernourished and 8.1% overnourished, reflecting a double burden of malnutrition. Low-quality breakfast was significantly associated with malnutrition (p=0.018), and children with low-quality breakfasts were 4.2 times more likely to be malnourished than those with high-quality breakfasts (OR=4.20; 95% CI: 1.12–15.70). Policy gap analysis indicated that breakfast practices did not meet national standards, especially regarding dietary diversity, energy, protein, and micronutrient intake. These findings highlight breakfast quality as a potential policy entry point to address early childhood malnutrition through improved dietary diversity, parental awareness, school-based interventions, and local food utilization
Empowering Diabetes Management through Nutritional Innovations: The Role of Golden Rice Cookies Enriched with Piper crocatum Extract
No full textDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a growing global health issue, with dietary management posing significant challenges for patients. The habit of consuming high-sugar and high-fat snacks, as observed at Bajeng Community Health Center, Gowa Regency, increases the risk of serious complications, including diabetic ulcers and cardiovascular diseases. This program aimed to develop and optimize Golden Rice Cookies, a healthy snack enriched with locally sourced Piper crocatum extract, as a nutritional alternative for DM patients. A participatory approach was employed, involving an initial analysis of partner conditions, product development through organoleptic and hedonic testing, and education on diabetes dietary management. Over three months, patients consumed Golden Rice Cookies, and outcomes were evaluated based on fasting blood glucose (FBG), body mass index (BMI), and dietary compliance levels. The results demonstrated that Golden Rice Cookies were well-received, with high satisfaction scores for taste, aroma, and texture (≥4 on a 5-point scale). Regular consumption significantly reduced FBG by an average of 29.9 mg/dL, BMI by 1.3 kg/m², and increased dietary compliance by 20.5%. The flavonoids and polyphenols in P. crocatum contributed to oxidative stress suppression, inflammation reduction, and modulation of key biomarkers such as MMP-9 and NGAL. This program successfully empowered DM patients to manage their condition through a sustainable and locally based nutritional innovation. This approach holds promise for replication in other regions with high diabetes prevalence to support more effective and sustainable diabetes management

PENYULUHAN DAN PENGENALAN MPASI LOKAL SECARA ORGANOLEPTIK KEPADA IBU BADUTA DI PULAU BARRANG LOMPO
No full textThe evaluation of the sensory attributes in locally formulated complementary feeding for infants receiving breast milk, commonly referred to as Complementary Feeding of Breast Milk (MP-ASI), represents a pivotal element within the broader framework of the Family Nutrition Improvement Program (UPGK). In this organoleptic test, the main ingredients used are breadfruit and Moringa leaves. The nutritional content of breadfruit is fiber, complex carbohydrates, proteins, minerals (phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron) and vitamins. Likewise, Moringa plants are found in many tropical and subtropical regions, including South Asia. Moringa also has many nutritional contents in antioxidants, vitamins, essential amino acids, anti-inflammatory and other compounds. Therefore, a processing process is needed for both breadfruit and Moringa leaves before consumption to be used as complementary food in baduta. The primary objective of this community service initiative is to enhance maternal understanding regarding the assessment of sensory attributes in complementary foods intended for organoleptic evaluation. The methodology employed in this undertaking involves educational sessions encompassing instructional content and providing complementary foods designed explicitly for organoleptic assessment. The material presented is related to the timing of giving complementary food, the texture of complementary food, and essential signs when giving complementary food. The Results showed that the final test with p-value = 0.345 (p>0.05) significantly. This phenomenon is attributable to the fact that mothers residing on Barrang Lompo Island have received prior nutritional education pertaining to complementary feeding. The Organoleptic Test, which encompassed assessments of color, texture, aroma, and flavor for children aged 6-24 months, revealed that the majority of participants exhibited a favorable preference for the evaluated menu. --- Uji Organoleptik terhadap Makanan Pendamping ASI (MP-ASI) yang disusun menggunakan bahan lokal merupakan elemen kunci dalam kerangka Usaha Perbaikan Gizi Keluarga (UPGK). Pada uji organoleptik ini bahan utama yang digunakan adalah buah sukun dan daun kelor. Buah sukun merupakan salah satu komoditas pangan yang signifikan sebagai sumber utama karbohidrat di berbagai kepulauan di wilayah tropis, terutama di Pasifik dan Asia Tenggara. Buah ini kaya akan komponen gizi, termasuk serat, karbohidrat kompleks, protein, serta mineral seperti fosfor, kalsium, magnesium, dan zat besi. Selain itu, buah sukun juga mengandung beragam vitamin, termasuk vitamin A, vitamin B, dan vitamin C. Tentu hal yang serupa dapat dikatakan tentang tanaman kelor yang tersebar luas di wilayah tropis dan sub-tropis, termasuk Asia Selatan. Kelor juga memiliki banyak kandungan gizi berupa anti oksidan, vitamin, asam amino essensial, anti Anti-inflammatory dan kandungan senyawa lainnya. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan proses pengolahan baik untuk bahan buah sukun dan daun kelor sebelum dikonsumsi untuk dijadikan MP-ASI pada baduta. Tujuan dari program pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pemahaman ibu mengenai Makanan Pendamping ASI (MP-ASI) yang akan dilakukan pengujian organoleptik. Metode Pengabdian Metode yang diterapkan dalam kegiatan ini yaitu penyuluhan berupa materi dan pemberian MP-ASI untuk di uji secara organoleptik. Materi yang disampaikan terkait dengan waktu pemberian MP-ASI, tekstur MP-ASI, dan tanda-tanda penting saat memberikan MP-ASI. Hasil Pengabdian menunjukkan Analisis bivariat dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji Wilcoxon Signed Rank dengan p-value = 0,345 (p>0,05). Hal ini dikarenakan ibu-ibu di Pulau Barrang Lompo sudah terpapar dengan edukasi gizi mengenai MP-ASI. Pada Uji Organoleptik MP-ASI dimana diuji cobakan warna,tekstur, aroma, dan rasa untuk baduta usia 6-24 bulan rata-rata menyukai menu MP-ASI yang dilakukan pengujian
Parental Preferences in Children\u27s Menu Provision at Home: An Exploratory Study in West Sumatra
No full textIndonesia continues to face significant challenges in achieving optimal nutrition, as malnutrition persists despite advancements in the health sector. This study explores how parents in West Sumatra make decisions about their children\u27s meals, focusing specifically on their understanding of stunting and the role of dietary variety. The goal is to assess how parental awareness of stunting affects their choices in providing balanced, nutritious meals for their children. The study collected data from 387 parents using a structured questionnaire, analyzed through descriptive and correlational methods. Results showed that rice is the primary staple, consumed an average of 2.78 times per day. Although animal protein sources like fish and eggs are commonly included, vegetable and fruit consumption remain below recommended levels. A weak but positive correlation was identified between parental knowledge and food variety, especially regarding fruits and vegetables. However, this relationship was generally weak (ρ < 0.2), likely shaped by additional factors like household income and food access. The research also uncovered notable variations in parental knowledge depending on socioeconomic status, with higher-income families demonstrating greater awareness of stunting. These outcomes imply that while nutrition education is important, it must be paired with strategies that address broader structural challenges such as affordability and food availability. Further studies using longitudinal or qualitative methods are recommended to better understand the behaviors that influence dietary choices and to inform more effective nutrition policies
