Minimum Acceptable Diet and its Associated Factors among Children Aged 6–23 Months in Indonesia

This study aimed to assess the fulfillment of the Minimum Dietary Diversity for children (MDD), the Minimum Meal Frequency (MMF), and the Minimum Acceptable Diet (MAD) and analyze the correlation between individual, socioeconomic, and demographic characteristics and the MAD in children between the ages of 6 and 23 months in Indonesia. This study used a cross-sectional study design. The subjects were 798 children between the ages of 6 and 23 months in Indonesia from a National Total Diet Study. The data collection on the MDD, the MMF, and the MAD used twenty-four-hour dietary recall. The chi-square and multiple logistic regression models were applied in this study with a p-value<0.05 considered significant predictors of outcome variables. The MDD, MMF, and MAD were met by 63.9%, 91.3%, and 61.8% of children, respectively. Significant positive relationships of child's age, mother's educational status, and area of residence (p<0.001) to the MAD. The determinants factors of MAD were the child's age (p<0.05; OR=7.06; 95% CI:3.46–14.38) and area of residence (p<0.05; OR=1.61; 95% CI:1.19–2.15). In conclusion, it is still necessary to improve the fulfillment of the MAD (a combined indicator of the MDD and the MMF). The government's role is to provide balanced nutritional child feeding programs based on local food, strengthen behavior change communication to meet nutritionally balanced complementary foods for children, and improve child nutrition services at posyandu

Sifat Kimia dan Organoleptik Cookies Lidah Kucing Ubi Jalar Ungu sebagai Potensi Makanan Ringan Penderita Diabetes Melitus

Background. Availability of low-calorie snacks for people had diabetes mellitus is still a less produced in Indonesia. Purple sweet potato is one of the plants that has anthocyanin content ± 61.85 mg / 100 grams, moisture content ± 67.77% bb / 100 gram, ash content ± 3.28% bk / 100 gram, reducing sugar ± 1.79% bk / 100 gram and glycemic index (GI) 54 which is low. Purple sweet potato is very potential in making snacks for people had diabetes mellitus. The benefits of local purple sweet potato food is processed into cat tongue cookies which are expected to be consumed as snacks for people had diabetes mellitus. Aim. This study aims to determine the chemical and organoleptic properties of purple sweet potato cat tongue cookies as a potential snack for people had diabetes mellitus. Method. The research method used a completely randomized design with four subtitution treatments of purple sweet potato flour and wheat flour using a ratio of 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25. Moisture content using thermogravimetric method, ash content using dry method, reducing sugar content using Nelson Somogyi method, total sugar content using Nelson Somogyi, energy value using the atwater factor and organoleptic methods using hedonic scale, because normal data using Oneway Anova and abnormal data using Kruskal Wallis, followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test with a 95% confidence level. Results. Cat tongue cookies with the best treatment from the organoleptic test results were substituted for purple sweet potato flour and 50:50 flour not significantly different from the controls (0: 100) including the category favored by panelists. It has a moisture content of 3.37%, ash content of 2.64%, reducing sugar content of 3.62%, total sugar content of 14.49% and energy value of 539 kal / 100 gram. Conclusion : Increased substitution of purple sweet potato flour has a significant effect on moisture content, ash content, reducing sugar content, total sugar content, energy value and organoleptic (including color, aroma, taste, texture and overall) in cat tongue cookies.
