Palu, Sigi, and Donggala districts experienced a 7,7 magnitude earthquake on September 28 2018. This incident was declared a national disaster. The impact of the disaster is a decrease in the nutritional status of children under five. Nutritional problems in children under five after the earthquake can be caused by paralysis of health service, lack of availability of clean water, poor environmental sanitation, infectious diseases, and lack of consumption of nutritious food. This research is a descriptive study wich to identify nutritional problems in children under five after the earthquake in Palu, Sigi, and Donggala districts. The type of data used is secondary data, including height, weight, and age. The results showed that the nutritional status of under five children based on the weight for age index were underweight 32,1% and very underweight 16,6%. Nutritional status based on the weight for height index, were malnutrition 13,7% and poor nutrition 4,9%. The nutritional status based on the height for age index were stunting 55,7%. The conclusion that the stunting is a nutritional problem with the highest prevalence after the earthquake. The health of children under five is easily influenced by food security, the environment, and the economy. The high prevalence stunting post-earthquake can be caused by job losses, damage to agricultural land and plantations, disruption of the economic system and development in the area which has an impact on low access to food for families.

Banyak  orang yang mengatakan bahwa semakin bertambahnya usia, maka penyakit yang diderita pun akan semakin banyak, salah satunya penyakit degeneratif. Untuk meningkatkan konsumsi pangan perlu didukung upaya pengadaannya yaitu melalui pengembangan pengolahan pangan lokal, seperti ubi Banggai. Formulasi cookies rendah indeks glikemik dengan substitusi tepung ubi banggai apakah dapat dijadikan camilan sebagai salah satu upaya untuk pencegahan penyakit degeneratif. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret sampai September 2021 bertempat di Universitas Tadulako dan Labkesda Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah. Produk cookies ubi banggai dapat dijadikan sebagai menu selingan alternatif untuk pencegahan penyakit degenerative dengan nilai Indeks Glikemik 33,6 (Rendah) dan beban Glikemik 15 (Sedang) . Namun untuk penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukannya pendugaan umur simpan cookies ubi bangga, perbaikan tekstur produk, pengembangan SOP pembuatan produk khususnya literasi pada titik kritis pemanggangan dan pendinginan sehingga produk yang dihasilkan memenuhi standar kualitas yang ada. Kemudian perlu dilakukan juga pengembangan varian rasa baru untuk memberikan banyak pilihan pada konsumen.

AIM: The purpose of this study was to develop a tea formula of sambiloto leaves, analyzed the chemical properties (polyphenols, tannins, water, extracts in water, total ash, water soluble ash, water-insoluble ash, insoluble acid ash, and water-soluble ash alkalinity) as well as the antioxidant capacity of the formula. METHODS: This research was divided into two stages. The first stage was the formulation of sambiloto leaves tea and the second stage was the analysis of chemical properties (levels of polyphenols, tannins, water, extracts water, total ash, water soluble ash, water-insoluble ash, insoluble acid ash, and water soluble ash alkalinity) and antioxidant capacity analysis. The analysis was carried out on all of the sambiloto leaves tea formulas to determine the effect of the formulations on chemical properties and antioxidant capacity. This study used Microsoft Excel 2013 in data processing management. RESULTS: The highest extract water was at F4, and the lowest was at F1. Based on the analysis, the formula of sambiloto leaves tea was in the range of 1.026–1.734%. Of all the formulas that have been prepared, sambiloto leaves tea formula F1 was obtained the best chemical and antioxidant properties among all formulas, which were composed of 100% sambiloto leaves, 5% honey, and 45% dates. CONCLUSION: Sambiloto leaves have good antioxidant activity and can be used as a drink in the form of an infusion, such as tea. The result of brewing the sambiloto tea formula has faded green color. The polyphenol content of the sambiloto leaves tea formula still did not meet the Indonesia National Standard (≥5.2%), was 1.5–3.1%.

Bencana memiliki dampak yang dapat merugikan manusia, termasuk remaja yang merupakan masa emas dimana anak harus dibekali makanan yang cukup gizi sebagai acuan dasar untuk kelangsungan hidupnya yang akan datang tanpa mengalami gangguan yang akan mengganggu proses tumbuh kembang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui ketahanan pangan, asupan zat gizi dan indeks masa tubuh (IMT) pada remaja pasca bencana di Kota Palu. Metode yang digunakan adalah survey deskriptif dan dilaksanakan di Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP) Negeri 3 Palu yang dekat dengan lokasi bencana gempa bumi, tsunami dan liquifaksi dengan total sampel 96 responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa remaja dengan kategori tahan pangan lebih besar (61,46%) dibandingkan dengan kategori rawan pangan dengan kelaparan (10,42%) dan kategori rawan pangan tanpa kelaparan (28,12%). Kemudian asupan energi dengan kategori kurang lebih besar (98,96%) dibandingkan dengan kategori cukup (1,04%) dan IMT siswa sebagian besar masuk dalam kategori underweight (58,33%). Kesimpulan bahwa remaja yang terkena dampak bencana masih termasuk dalam kategori tahan pangan namun asupan gizi kurang yang mengakibatkan berat badan kurang sehingga berpengaruh pada IMT kategori underweight.
