This research was aimed to evaluate the quality of long-jawed mackerel fish flour, resulted from four different treatments, based on specific criteria, namely water content, protein, fat and calcium. This was a True Experimental Design Post test-Only Control Design research with a completely randomized design (CRD). The experimental method consisted of four treatments. Data regarding protein content was obtained by using Kjehdal method, water content using oven method, fat content using Soxhlet while calcium content using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry method. The research data were processed statistically for ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) and continued with the LSD (Least Significance Different) test. ANOVA test analysis results showed that the water content (p = 0.02), protein (p = 0.00), fat (p = 0.00), and calcium (p = 0.00) significantly different between the four treatments. The fish flour produced meets quality standard based on Indonesian standard of fish flour registered by number Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 2715: 2013 in terms of water content, protein and fat.

Children who do not get exclusive breastfeeding will be at risk of deficiency of nutrients needed in the growth process. This study aims to analyze the relationship between stunting and exclusive breastfeeding. The research method uses a cross-sectional research design with quantitative research, presented by means of descriptive-analytic with the number of respondents as many as 41 people. Data regarding the child's height was obtained by measuring the child's height using a digital weight scale with an accuracy of 0,1 kg. Data regarding children's age is obtained by birth certificate records or family cards. Mothers’ knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding and its giving was obtained using interview techniques. Data analysis using univariate analysis was carried out on each variable resulting from the study in the form of frequency distribution and percentage of each variable. Bivariate analysis to analyze the relationship between variables using Chi-square with 95% CI. The results showed that knowledge (p= 0,633) and education (p= 0,840) had no effect on exclusive breastfeeding (p > 0,05). Meanwhile, exclusive breastfeeding did not affect the incidence of stunting (p= 0,797). In conclusion, education, knowledge and exclusive breastfeeding have no significant correlation with the incidence of stunting in children under five.

Nugget adalah salah satu produk makanan siap saji yang banyak di gemari oleh anak-anak maupun orang dewasa. Bahan dasar pembuatan nugget belum beragam serta pengolahan yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat  belum optimal sehingga perlu adanya penganekaragaman dari segi bahan maupun olahan nugget. Ikan gabus menjadi suatu produk sumber protein hewani yang memiliki nilai gizi dan albumin tinggi serta jagung yang mengandung serat dan indeks glikemik rendah.Jenis Penelitian :  penelitian eksperimental dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan enam formula (F1; 100:0, F2; 90:10, F3; 85:15, F4; 80:20, F5; 75:25 dan F6; 70:30), Umur simpan diperoleh menggunakan metode konvensional dengan penyimpanan pada suhu ruang 25ºC, suhu refrigator 5ºC,  dan suhu freezer minus 10ºC. Menggunakan panelis semi terlatih sebanyak 30 orang. Analisis data uji tingkat kesukaan dianalisis menggunakan uji friedman test. Hasil Penelitian: Tingkat Kesukaan Nugget tertinggi pada formula F4 (20%) dengan perbandingan ikan gabus dan jagung 80:20. Setelah dilakukan penyimpanan pada suhu ruang maka dapat diketahui umur simpan nugget bertahan kurang dari 1 hari, suhu refrigator umur simpan nugget kurang dari 12 hari dan pada suhu freezer umur simpan lebih dari 3 bulan.Kesimpulan : Penambahan jagung  dapat mempengaruhi tingkat kesukaan pannelis pada nugget. Umur simpan nugget dapat bertahan lama dengan penyimpanan pada freezer. Diharapkan nugget ikan gabus dengan penambahan jagung dapat dijadikan olahan sehat bagi masyarakat dimana memiliki nilai gizi protein dan serat yang tinggi.

Stunting is a nutritional problem that can reduce the quality of life of children later. There are several factors associated with stunting, including maternal knowledge. This study aims to determine the relationship between the knowledge of child feeding parenting styles and stunting incidence in Ilotidea Village, Tilango District, Gorontalo District. The research method used a cross-sectional study. The nutritional status was obtained by measuring the height/length of the toddler's body using a microtoise and measuring body length. Meanwhile, the age can be obtained through birth certificates or family cards. The two data were then categorized by using the index of height or body length according to age using the WHO Antro 2005 classification. Data regarding knowledge of feeding parenting styles for toddlers was obtained using a questionnaire. Statistical analysis used the chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05 and 95% CI. A sample of 33 toddlers was taken using random sampling. The results showed that the knowledge of child feeding parenting affects the incidence of stunting (p-value = 0.006). Conclusions about the knowledge of child feeding contribute to feeding practice. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase access to information regarding proper feeding for toddlers.
