Desa Iloheluma merupakan salah satu desa yang menjadi prioritas penanganan stunting tahun 2019. Intervensi stunting dapat dilakukan melalui pemanfaatan pangan lokal sumber protein dan zink seperti kerang dan kelor. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang potensi pangan lokal, dan menghasilkan produk pangan lokal yang dapat dimanfaatkan dalam pencegahan dan penanggulangan stunting di desa Iloheluma. Target yang diharapkan dari kegiatan ini adalah meningkatnya pengetahuan masyarakat tentang sadar stunting, meningkatkan partisipasi masyarakat dalam pemberdayaan potensi lokal untuk perbaikan gizi, dan dihasilkannya produk pangan yang bervariasi berbasis kerang dan kelor yang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai makanan tambahan balita. Metode pelaksanan kegiatan adalah pelatihan dan pendampingan.  Hasil yang dicapai dalam kegiatan ini, yaitu mahasiswa peserta KKN PPM dan masyarakat telah memiliki pengetahuan tentang stunting, faktor penyebab, memahami sumber sumber makanan lokal yang berkaitan dengan pencegahan stunting, mampu menghasilkan produk yang berupa kerupuk kerang darah, bakso kerang darah, nugget kerang darah, dan bubur daun kelor, dan terbentuk kelompok ibu –ibu PKK yang secara mandiri mempraktekkan pembuatan bubur kelor yang diimplementasi dalam kegiatan Posyandu. Kegiatan KKN PPM ini mendapat dukungan yang sangat besar dari pemerintah Desa dan Kecamatan yang diwujudkan dengan program penanaman 1000 pohon kelor di desa desa Kecamatan Patilanggio. Kata kunci: Kelor., Kerang., Pemberdayaan, Stunting. Abstract  Iloheluma village is one of the priority villages for stunting eradication program in 2019. Stunting intervention can be implemented through the utilization of local food sources as the sources of protein and zinc, including clams and moringa. This study was aimed at increasing people’s knowledge of local food products potential and producing local food products that could be utilized to prevent and curb stunting in Iloheluma village. The main activity was to increase community awareness on stunting, to increase community participation in local potential empowerment to improve nutritional status, and to produce local food products variety based on clams and moringa that could be used as additional meals for under five-year-old children. These objectives were met through training and intensive community assistance. This activity revealed that the students as participants of community outreach (KKN PPM) and the local community have understood the notion of stunting and the causes as well as the source of local food products related to stunting prevention. Further, they can produce blood cockle chips, and blood cockle -based meatballs, blood cockle nugget, and moringa leave porridge, and have established women’s group, which independently practiced the making of moringa porridge in Posyandu activity. The KKN PPM activity has gained support from village and sub-district level governments, in which they have planted 1000 moringa trees in villages around the Patilanggio sub-district. Keywords: Moringa, Clams, Empowerment, Stunting.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi komposisi proksimat dan nilai indeks glikemik nira aren. Analisis kadar air menggunakan metode oven, protein menggunakan metode semimikro kjeldhal, kadar abu menggunakan metode thermografimetri, dan lemak menggunakan metode ekstruksi langsung dengan alat soxhlet, karbohidrat menggunakan metode by difference, dan gula mengunakan metode Luff schoorl . Analisis indeks glikemik menggunakan perhitungan luas area dibawah kurva menggunakan metode finger-prick capillary blood. Pengukuran kadar glukosa darah pada 10 orang responden yang diberi glukosa murni dan nira aren. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nira aren mengandung 91,1% air, 0,28% kadar abu, 0,41% protein, 0% lemak, 8,21% karbohidrat dan 0,67% jumlah gula. Rata-rata glukosa darah responden setelah mengkonsumsi glukosa murni dan nira aren pada menit ke-0, 30, 60, 90, 120 yaitu sebagai berikut 93,2 mg/dL, 155,4 mg/dL, 124,2 mg/dL, 93,8 mg/dL, 79,1 mg/dL, dan 81,8 mg/dL, 118,6 mg/dL, 92,6  mg/dL, 74,1 mg/dL, dan 63,7 mg/dL. Nilai indeks glikemik nira aren adalah 35,56 berada pada kategori rendah, sehingga nira aren merupakan minuman alternatif untuk menjaga kadar gula darah.

The objective of this paper was to evaluate zinc and protein feed levels of Anadara granosa flour substitution and its effect of feed on serum albumin and body weight of a malnourished rat (Rattus norvegicus). This study comprised two stages: 1) analysis of protein and zinc level of the feed, and 2) feed test on rat using separate sample pre–test and post-test control group design. The malnourished rat was treated with dried rice; the dried rice was substituted with 12.5%, 25%, and 50% of Anadara granosa flour. Further, at room temperature, the flour can be kept for six months. This study revealed that the Anadara granosa-substituted feed had zinc levels between 0.999 ppm - 2.296 ppm and protein levels of 14.81% - 26.39%. On the other hand, the non-substituted feed had 0.791 ppm of zinc, and the protein level was 8.46%. Provision of the feed substituted with Anadara granosa flour increased the albumin serum level (p = 0.000) and the bodyweight of malnourished rats significantly (p = 0.002). This study revealed that substitution of Anadara granosa flour in feed could improve the zinc and protein level of the feed, which in turn improved the growth of malnourished rats (as the albumin level and the bodyweight also improved).

Abstract. Solang M. 2017. Blood cockle (Anadara granosa) supplementation to increase serum calcium level and femur growth of lowprotein diet rat. Nusantara Bioscience 9: 62-67. Blood cockle (Anadara granosa) contains protein, zinc and calcium. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of blood cockle flour supplement on serum calcium level, rat femur length and weight of rat femur on low-protein diet. The design of research used The Separate Sample Pre-Post Test Design. Forty eight Wistar male rats were randomly grouped into 2 groups, 12 rats as normal control group and 36 rats as malnourished group. After eight weeks, 4 rats from each group were sacrificed. Furthermore, 8 rats as normal control and 32 rats as malnourished group were randomly grouped. Malnourished rats were treated with blood cockle flour of 12.5%/kg diet, 25%/kg diet, and 50%/kg diet ad libitum for 8 weeks. Data analysis was performed with One Way ANOVA, LSD, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. The results of study showed that the supplementation of blood cockle flour of 12.5%/kg diet was significantly increase the serum calcium level (p=0.003), rat femur length (p=0.000) and rat femur weight (p=0.002) on low-protein diet. This study demonstrated that blood cockle flour can be used as alternative food to improve the growth of rat femurs in a malnutrition condition.

Solang M, Lamondo D, Kumaji SS. 2017. Zinc, calcium, protein, lead, mercury, and the sensorics quality of cireng snacks supplemented with blood cockle (Anadara granosa). Nusantara Bioscience 9: 385-391. Blood cockle (Anadara granosa) is a potential nutritious food with high economic value. This study aims at evaluating the level of zinc, calcium, protein, mercury, lead, and the sensorics quality of cireng (traditional Indonesian snack made from fried-tapioca flour dipped into sauces) supplemented with blood cockle. This study used complete randomised design, where the treatment factors consisted of flour made from blood cockles to supplement the flour used in making the cireng snacks. The concentration of the treatment factors were 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The data were analyzed using the One Way ANOVA test and LSD test. This study shows that blood cockles’ supplementation significantly increases the level of protein (p=0.05), zinc (p=0.031), calcium (p= 0.016), lead (0.000), mercury (p= 0.022) of the cireng snacks. Supplementation of blood cockles has increased the preference toward cireng’s flavor, aroma, and color by 10%, whereas the level of preference toward the texture of cireng which used the blood cockle has increased by 20% compared to cireng product with non-supplemented flour. The level of lead (Pb), and Mercury (Hg) are below the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). Supplementation of blood cockles from Gorontalo in the flour used in making the cireng snacks produced snacks with a better nutrition value and safe to consume. Also, the flavor, color, texture, and aroma are acceptable.
