The effect of scad fish substitution and katuk leaf addition on the nutritional and sensory characteristics of nugget sticks
Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is a serious health issue that can lead to night blindness, xerophthalmia, and a weakened immune system, which increases susceptibility to respiratory infections and diarrhoea in children. This study aimed to develop nugget sticks made from a combination of chicken meat and scad fish (50:50) with the addition of katuk leaves (Sauropus androgynus) as a protein-rich food product with potential provitamin A content. Protein plays a crucial role in the synthesis of Retinol Binding Protein (RBP), which is essential for transporting Vitamin A throughout the body. This experimental study tested three formulations of katuk leaf addition: F1 (5%), F2 (10%), and F3 (15%). Measured parameters included organoleptic tests (color, aroma, taste, texture), nutritional analysis using the Indonesian Food Composition Table (TKPI), consumer acceptance tests, and an evaluation of the product's economic value. The results indicated that F1 (5% katuk leaf addition) was the most preferred formulation overall. Per serving (35 g), these nuggets contain 94 kcal of energy, 6 g of protein, 5 g of fat, 7 g of carbohydrates, 41 mcg of retinol, and 296 mcg of beta-carotene. The acceptance test showed positive results, with an average food waste of less than 20% among panelists. Economically, the food cost for 50 units was Rp39,646, with a selling price of Rp1,982 per piece or Rp29,730 per 250 g package. In conclusion, these nugget sticks hold significant potential as a functional food entrepreneurship opportunity. Future research should involve laboratory-based nutritional analysis for more accurate validation.

Nutritional status as a factor related to prolonged menstrual cycle in college students
Nutritional status plays an important role in the regulation of reproductive hormones; however, its association with various aspects of menstrual disorders remains inconsistent. This study aimed to examine the relationship between nutritional status and age at menarche with composite menstrual disorders and specific menstrual characteristics among female university students. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving female nutrition students from a single cohort who completed an online questionnaire. Independent variables included nutritional status (normal and abnormal) and age at menarche (early and normal). Dependent variables comprised composite menstrual disorders, menstrual duration, menstrual cycle length, and premenstrual symptoms. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that nutritional status was significantly associated with menstrual cycle length (p<0.027). However, no significant associations were found between nutritional status and composite menstrual disorders, menstrual duration, or premenstrual symptoms. In addition, age at menarche was not significantly associated with any of the menstrual characteristics analyzed. In conclusion, the influence of nutritional status on menstruation appears to be specific to certain aspects, particularly menstrual cycle length. The use of composite indicators of menstrual disorders may obscure more specific associations. Therefore, separating individual components of menstrual patterns is essential to achieve a more accurate understanding of the relationship between nutritional status and reproductive health in young adult women.

The relationship of dietary patterns, and behavior of MP-ASI with nutritional status in children aged 6-12 months in Cigeulis Village, Banten Province
The growth of children in infancy is very rapid. If at this time the toddler's nutritional needs are not met, it will cause disturbances in the growth and development of toddlers. Underweight in toddlers occurs as a result of acute malnutrition. In the long term, children with underweight will experience cognitive impairment, decreased learning achievement, behavioral disorders, and increase the risk of death. Nutritional status in children can be influenced by several factors such as maternal knowledge regarding nutrition, diet, and complementary feeding behavior. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between nutritional knowledge, diet, and complementary feeding behavior with nutritional status at the age of 6-12 months in Cigeulis Village, Banten Province in 2022. This study was conducted in February-July 2022. The number of samples is 38 babies and baby mothers. This research has a cross-sectional design. Data were collected by measuring body weight and interviewing questionnaires to determine nutritional knowledge, eating patterns, and complementary feeding behavior. The results showed that 65.8% of toddlers had normal nutritional status, 65.8% of mothers had good nutritional knowledge, and 63.2% demonstrated appropriate complementary feeding practices. The dietary patterns of toddlers indicated adequate energy intake (65.9%), protein intake predominantly in the excessive category (47.4%), insufficient fat intake (60.5%), and adequate carbohydrate intake (50%). There was a significant association between complementary feeding practices and the nutritional status of toddlers. However, no significant relationship was found between energy, protein, and fat intake and the nutritional status of toddlers. In contrast, carbohydrate intake was significantly associated with the nutritional status of children under five (p<0.05).
Overview of educational level, nutritional knowledge, and dietary adherence among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by impaired insulin action, resulting in uncontrolled blood glucose levels. Dietary management, including adherence to recommended meal timing, portion size, and food choices, is a fundamental component of type 2 DM management. However, dietary adherence among patients with type 2 DM remains a major challenge in routine health care practice. This study aimed to describe the educational level, nutritional knowledge, and dietary adherence among patients with type 2 DM. This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design. The study subjects were patients with type 2 DM receiving outpatient care at Karawang District Hospital in 2017, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews using structured questionnaires to obtain information on subject characteristics, educational level, nutritional knowledge, and dietary adherence. The results showed that none of the subjects demonstrated adherence to the recommended dietary guidelines. These findings indicate that poor dietary adherence remains a key issue in the management of type 2 DM, regardless of patients’ educational level and nutritional knowledge. This condition highlights the need for strengthening continuous nutrition education and implementing more intensive and accessible nutrition counseling approaches. Increasing patient engagement in nutrition counseling services is expected to improve understanding and application of appropriate dietary management, thereby supporting optimal glycemic control in patients with type 2 DM.
Effect of maltodextrin concentration on the organoleptic characteristics, proximate composition, and antioxidant activity of spray-dried turmeric–tamarind powder

Effect of maltodextrin concentration on the organoleptic characteristics, proximate composition, and total flavonoid content of instant beras kencur
Beras kencur (Kaempferia galanga) is a traditional Indonesian herbal beverage with potential to be developed into an instant product through drying technology. This study aimed to analyze the effect of different maltodextrin concentrations on organoleptic characteristics, proximate composition, total flavonoid content, and yield of instant beras kencur produced using the spray-drying method. A completely randomized design (CRD) was employed with three maltodextrin concentrations, namely 20%, 25%, and 30%. The organoleptic evaluation consisted of hedonic and sensory quality tests for both the powder and reconstituted beverage, while proximate and total flavonoid analyses were conducted on the best formulation (P3). The results showed that variations in maltodextrin concentration did not result in significant differences in organoleptic characteristics. The formulation containing 30% maltodextrin (P3) showed the highest mean sensory acceptance, particularly in terms of color and overall acceptance, and was therefore selected as the optimal formulation. The best product was characterized by high water and carbohydrate content. Total flavonoid content slightly decreased after the spray-drying process, from 0.24 ppm before drying to 0.22 ppm after drying. In addition, increasing maltodextrin concentration contributed to a higher yield of instant beras kencur powder.

Effect of dried rebon shrimp substitution on organoleptic characteristics, proximate composition, and iron content of dimsum
Rebon shrimp is a local food source of heme iron with relatively high iron content; however, its acceptability among adolescents remains low due to its strong odor and less appealing appearance. Processing dried rebon shrimp into dim sum may enhance both acceptability and nutritional value. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dried rebon shrimp substitution on the organoleptic characteristics, proximate composition, and iron content of dim sum. An experimental study was conducted using a completely randomized design with five substitution levels of dried rebon shrimp: F1 (20%), F2 (40%), F3 (60%), F4 (80%), and F5 (100%). Organoleptic evaluation was performed using a 7-point hedonic scale involving 35 semi-trained panelists. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by the Mann–Whitney post hoc test. The results demonstrated that different substitution levels significantly affected the aroma, texture, taste, and color of dim sum. The formulation with 40% dried rebon shrimp substitution showed the highest acceptability. Proximate composition and heme iron analyses of the selected formulation revealed a moisture content of 63.71%, ash content of 1.49%, carbohydrate content of 24.01%, protein content of 7.57%, fat content of 3.22%, and heme iron content of 1.20 mg/100 g. Although dried rebon shrimp substitution increased the heme iron content of dim sum, the product does not yet qualify as a source or high-heme iron food.

Social eating factors associated with energy intake in urban communities aged 25-45 years based on the Indonesian Food Barometer Study
Previous research indicates that individuals who engage in social eating tend to consume larger amounts of food and purchase foods with higher energy content than individuals who eat alone. This excess energy intake can lead to excess weight in a person, which can later have an impact on increasing the risk of developing various non-communicable diseases. Social eating factors found to influence energy intake include eating companions, activity while eating, and cooking practices. This study aims to analyze the relationship between social eating factors and energy intake. The methodology used is quantitative research with a cross-sectional study design and data analysis using the chi-square test. The research sample was taken based on the Indonesian Food Barometer (IFB) study using a probability sampling technique with a systematic random sampling type, which then obtained a sample of 450 subjects aged 25-45 years in urban areas of Indonesia. The results showed that 2.4% of subjects had an excess energy intake, 56% of subjects ate with others, 71.9% of subjects ate while doing other activities, and 54.9% of subjects had their food cooked by others. The statistical test results showed no significant relationship between social eating (eating companion, activity while eating, cooking practices) and energy intake (p values: 0.605; 0.996; 0.555, respectively). It can be concluded that social eating factors are not significantly related to energy intake in adult age groups in urban areas of Indonesia.

Analysis of differences in viscosity of coconut milk and milk
A viscosity or viscosity test is a measurement method to see a liquid product's viscosity level. In the process of making food products, liquids are used as additional ingredients to bind other ingredients or as a way to cook food. The viscosity level of the liquid used during the cooking process or when making the product affects the quality of the product. Recently, there have been many modification processes in food and cooking techniques, starting from modifying the use of liquids such as replacing coconut milk with milk, or vice versa. Therefore, researchers are interested in studying whether these two materials can replace each other in terms of their viscosity. This research was carried out in the IPB University food experiment laboratory using laboratory experimental methods, and viscosity testing using a Brookfield brand viscometer with spindle no. 1 and a speed of 100 rpm. The test results will be analyzed using a paired t-test to see whether there are differences between each sample. Based on the analysis, it was found that skim milk (F2) was not significantly different from coconut milk F7 (400g grated coconut: 800ml water). So it can be concluded that coconut milk F7 can be replaced by milk F2 in terms of viscosity.

Relationship between manganese minerals and type 2 diabetes mellitus
Indonesia is the fourth country with the largest prevalence of DM in the world which is caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. Risk factors for DM that cannot be modified include race, ethnicity, age, gender, genetics from a family with DM, history of giving birth >4 kg and LBW <2.5 kg. Meanwhile risk factors that can be modified include overweight, abdominal/central obesity, lack of physical activity, high blood pressure (hypertension), dyslipidemia, high calorie and unbalanced diet, prediabetes with impaired blood glucose tolerance levels (IGT 140 -199 mg/dl) or impaired fasting blood glucose levels (GDPT <140 mg/dl) as well as smoking habits. Several studies have revealed that dietary manganese is related to type 2 DM. However, the relationship between manganese diet and type 2 DM in women cannot yet be explained through a definite pathophysiological pathway after all confounding variables have been adjusted for, so it still needs to be studied further, especially regarding manganese analysis methods in assessing manganese status. which is usually based on the concentration of manganese in plasma/serum and all blood components.
