Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a non-insulin dependent diabetes, because insulin is not secreted by beta cell pancreas or dysfunction of insulin reseptors. The purposes of this research were to evaluate the effect of dietary fiber rich-tofu from black soybean on the antioxidant plasma status, malonaldehide (MDA) and hepatic marker in T2DM patients. One group (n=11) of patients was given 80 g of tofu for 30 days while the control group (n=11) was not. No significant differences was observed pertaining the characteristics of both groups before interventions (age, body mass index, body weight, body high, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and fasting blood glucose). The antioxidant activity, MDA and AST/ALT of both groups were analyzed from plasma at day-0 and day-30. Antioxidant activity was analyzed by DPPH method, MDA level with TBARS method, and AST/ALT by International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) method. The result showed that the plasma antioxidant increased (4.77±9.49%), but the MDA (2.11±1.73 nmol/mL) and AST (7.73±16.72 U/L)/ ALT (3.55±12.79 U/L) level decreased. Rich dietary fiber tofu from black soybean may have potential use for improving the health status of T2DM patients.

Tofu is one of the favorite foods of Indonesian people. Tofu processing has been carried out in several home industries in West Aceh Subdistrict. This community engagement program focused on the tofu home industry starting from a survey and mapping of the business condition followed by training and supervision activity. This training was given to tofu home industry owners and their workers. This training and supervision aimed to improve partners' knowledge and understanding about the importance of applying personal hygiene to the workers. Increased knowledge will in turn raise the awareness and motivation of the workers to apply personal hygiene procedures in tofu processing.

Ikan lele (Clarias gariepinus) merupakan komoditas budi daya ikan air tawar yang memiliki rasa enak, harga relatif murah, kandungan gizi tinggi pertumbuhan cepat, mudah berkembang biak, toleransi terhadap mutu air yang kurang baik. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kadar air ikan lele asap dan uji sensoris ikan lele asap. Metode dalam penelitian ini berupa eksperimen. Pada awal produksi ikan lele dibersihkan dan dicuci. Setelah itu ikan lele diasapi selama kurang lebih 7,8, dan 11 jam. 3 sampel akan diambil dalam waktu yang berbeda. Parameter yang diamati pada sampel adalah kadar air dan analisis sensoris. Sebanyak 35 panelis telah mengevaluasi 3 sampel untuk warna, rasa, aroma, dan tekstur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari ketiga sampel produksi lele asap yang diuji. Diketahui. Berdasarkan uji organoleptik, indikator warna, rasa, aroma dan tekstur ikan lele asap yang paling disukai terdapat pada sampel ikan asap 11 jam. Dan berdasarkan uji kadar air kadar air terendah terdapat pada sampel pengasapan 11 jam. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan, maka penulis menyimpulkan hasil uji secara keseluruhan (overall) baik dari indikator warna, rasa, aroma dan tekstur ikan lele asap yang paling disukai panelis terdapat pada sampel pengasapan 11 jam.

Functional drinks can be made from local herbal ingredients that are often used for spices such as cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanni) and cardamom (Amomum compactum). The purpose of this study is to determine the best formulation of cinnamon and cardamon as a herbal drink based on moisture content, ash content , and sensory evaluation. Raw materials were dried at 50 °C until reached a maximum moisture content 10% and were reduced in size. The formulations were made of comparison between cinnamon and cardamom which were A (100: 0)%; B (80:20)%; C (60:40)%; D (50:50)%; E (40:60)%; F (20:80)%; and G (0: 100)%. The moisture content of all formulas is between 7.12-7.33% (<10%) and the ash content of all formulas is between 4.83-5.06%. The results of sensory analysis showed that formula B had the best acceptance for color (3.03) and aroma (3.17). Thisproducthad moisture 7.23 % and ash content 4.83 %.
