Pemberian Makanan Pendamping Air Susu Ibu (MP-ASI) merupakan hal yang penting bagi pertumbuhan bayi dengan memperhatikan baik bentuk maupun jumlahnya. Pengembangan produk MP-ASI dilakukan melalui pengembangan formula makanan tambahan yang sesuai dengan standar gizi anak berupa bahan makanan campuran (BMC). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan formula bahan makanan campuran berbasis tepung kedelai, tepung beras merah, dan tepung pisang kepok yang memiliki nilai kalori dan protein yang memenuhi kebutuhan gizi pada anak berusia diatas 6 bulan. Penelitian ini terdiri dari 4 tahap, yaitu: pembuatan formula BMC, pengujian proksimat BMC, analisis organoleptik dengan uji hedonik, dan uji mikrobiologi dari formula terpilih. Bahan-bahan BMC terdiri dari tepung kedelai, tepung beras merah, tepung pisang kepok, susu skim, gula bubuk, serta minyak zaitun. Penelitian ini terdiri dari 3 formula dengan kadar tepung kedelai, tepung beras merah, dan tepung pisang kepok yang berbeda. Perbandingan tepung kedelai:tepung beras merah: tepung pisang kepok: susu skim: tepung gula: minyak zaitun pada Formula 1 (F1) adalah 30:15:15:30:5:5; F2 adalah 25:20:15:30:5:5; dan F3 adalah 25:15:20:30:5:5. Berdasarkan uji proksimat, ketiga formula telah memenuhi standar SNI MP-ASI 01-7111.1-2005 untuk kadar air. Sedangkan untuk kadar abu dan karbohidrat lebih tinggi dibanding SNI tersebut. Untuk kadar protein, F3 sudah sesuai SNI, namun F1 dan F2 di atas SNI. Untuk kadar lemak F1 dan F2 sudah sesuai dengan SNI, namun F3 di atas SNI. Berdasarkan hasil organoleptik, F3 memiliki skor yang tertinggi untuk semua parameter. Berdasarkan uji mikrobiologis, F3 sesuai standar SNI MP-ASI 01-7111.1-2005 untuk parameter MPN coliform, Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp, dan Staphylococcus aureus. ABSTRACT: Giving complementary feeding is important for infant's growth by considering both source and quantity. Developing complementary feeding products was carried out by formulating supplementary foods that are in accordance with children's nutritional standards in the form of composite foods. This study aims to obtain some formulas from the mixture of soybean flour, red rice flour, and kepok banana flour which have sufficient caloric and protein content to meet nutritional needs of children over 6 months. This study consisted of 4 steps composite foods formulation, proximate analysis, organoleptic analysis with hedonic tests, and microbiological tests for selected formulas. The ingredients of complimentary foods were soy flour, brown rice flour, kepok banana flour, skim milk, powdered sugar, and olive oil. This study consisted of 3 formulas with different levels of soy flour, brown rice flour, and kepok banana flour. The ratio of soy flour: brown rice flour: kepok banana flour: skim milk: powdered sugar: olive oil for Formula 1 (F1) was 30: 15: 15: 30: 5: 5; F2 was 25: 20: 15: 30: 5: 5; as well as F3 was 25: 15: 20: 30: 5: 5. Based on the proximate test, the three formulas met the SNI MP-ASI 01-7111.1-2005 standard for moisture content. While for ash and carbohydrate contents had a higher value than the SNI. The protein content of F3 was in accordance with SNI, but F1 and F2 were above SNI. Fat content for F1 and F2 were in accordance with SNI, but F3 was above SNI. Based on organoleptic results, F3 had the highest score for all parameters. Based on microbiological tests, F3 met with SNI MP-ASI standard 01-7111.1-2005 for MPN coliform, Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp, and Staphylococcus sp parameters.

This study was aimed to determined of the potential level of rhizomes from Indonesia as an antioxidant. The calculated of potential level rhizome based on the total phenolic compound and antioxidant activity.The phenolic compound was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteau method, antioxidant activity was determined by the DPPH (1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method expressed in IC50. Potential level was calculated by comparing the value of total phenolic compound and antioxidant activity. The results showed that red ginger ( Zingiber officinale var Rubrum) had the highest a phenolic and flavonoid content. Therefore that red ginger, Zingiber officinale var Rubrum is the most potential level as an antioxidant followed by Curcuma longa, Curcuma zedoaria, Curcuma zanthorrhiza, and Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.

Objectives Mango (Mangifera indica), one of tropical fruit that grows abundantly in Indonesia has big potencies to be developed into highly-valued products instead of eaten raw, namely as a mango sugar. There are several scientific researches that depict mango as a fruit rich in dietary fiber, quercetin, kaempferol, vitamin E, β-carotene, and vitamin C which have the potential to improve lipid profiles and lower blood glucose. This study was conducted to produce crystalized sugar from mango and determine vitamin C content. Methods Mango sugar extraction was carried out on 3 samples with different amounts (mango flesh: water) for 3 samples respectively S1 (900:0), S2 (850:150) and S3 (800:200). Samples were blended and crystallized using Freeze Driyer for 60 hours. The next step was Vitamin C analysis from 3 samples of mango sugar using Titration Iodometric Method, to determine the amount of Vitamin C (mg/100 mg). Statistical tests to determine the differences between mango and water formulations on the content of vitamin C in the use of mango sugar using One Way Anova. Results Obtained the amount of vitamin C in S1 sample was 140,53 mg/100 mg respectively. S2 sample was 136,65 mg/100 mg respectively. S3 sample was 115,80 respectively. There was a significant difference (P < 0.05) that determined vitamin C levels between sample formulations. The formulation of mangoes with water in the highest amount of mango sugar containing vitamin C is S1. Conclusions Mango has a big potency to be developed in to crystalized sugar. The Vitamin C content in mango sugar may be a great substitute for cane sugar, since antioxidants has the ability to improve lipid profile and stabilize blood glucose fluctuation.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the leading cause of death in the world that represents an important public health problem. Oxygenated water is water added with high concentration of oxygen such that the oxygen concentration is higher than normal water. The objective of this study was to assess the influence of oxygenated water consumption on the alteration of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL1-β, and IL6) and antioxidant capacity of COPD patients. Sixteen COPD patients were allowed to drink 385 mL oxygenated water two times a day for 21 days. The alteration of proinflammatory cytokines and antioxidant capacity are measured by comparing plasma concentration before and after intervention. The results suggest that oxygenated water consumption significantly reduce proinflammatory cytokines plasma and IL6) at 5% significance level with 81.25% of respondents having lower TNF-α, 75% of respondents with lower IL-1β, and 62.25% of respondents having lower the IL-6 in plasma concentration after 21 days intervention. There were 43.75% of respondents with decreased antioxidant capacity concentration. However, it was not significant at the 5% level significance. Decrease in antioxidant capacity was probably a resulted from poordiet and drugs consumption during the intervention period.

Both skipping and unhealthy breakfast are frequent among Indonesian school children that may cause by low income and lack of awareness on benefits of healthy breakfast.  Previous breakfast educations at school focus on the children. The objective of this community services was to build awareness of teachers, school children, and parents integrated. The method of this program was to train teachers, to educate parents, and to educate school children (3rd-6th grades) about healthy breakfast. A material of teacher training and education includes healthy breakfast, healthy snacks, and supported by comics and “cakram” of healthy breakfast. The material given to the target groups includes healthy breakfast; safe snacks, balanced nutrition, and hand wash through oral communication by example, reading comics and discussion. This community service was held on April 2017-April 2018 in Bandung, Tangerang, and Bogor of West Java in collaboration with PERGIZI PANGAN Indonesia and PT Indofood Sukses Makmur. The results showed healthy breakfast education goes well as planned. As much as 221 teachers, 4713 primary school children, 270 parents were educated on that topics.  The trained teachers and parents agree to continue the healthy breakfast education program, once each semester. The children said that the design and the messages on healthy breakfast in the comics were interesting and easily understood.
