Pemenuhan pangan merupakan salah satu aktivitas penting bagi kehidupan. Globalisasi, perkembangan teknologi informasi, dan terjadinya pandemi COVID-19 telah mengakibatkan adanya pergeseran cara pemenuhan kebutuhan pangan manusia, salah satunya ialah peningkatan permintaan frozen food dan munculnya tren penerapan teknik food preparation pada masyarakat. Pondok Pesantren termasuk salah satu lembaga pendidikan formal maupun non formal tertua di Indonesia yang memiliki peranan besar dalam pembangunan nasional, sehingga sistem pemenuhan pangan perlu dikelola dengan baik. Oleh karena itu, dilaksanakan penyuluhan, pelatihan dan pendampingan mengenai Food preparation yang meliputi perencanaan menu, pemilihan bahan makanan, penyimpanan, hingga pengolahannya dengan tetap memperhatikan variasi menu, kelengkapan dan keseimbangan gizi, keamanan, dan kepraktisan. Rangkaian metode pelatihan yang dilakukan adalah ceramah, praktik, diskusi, dan evaluasi. Berdasarkan kegiatan yang telah dilakukan, ada kenaikan jumlah peserta yang memahami teknik food preparation yaitu sejumlah 84%. Peserta juga menyatakan telah menerima berbagai manfaat dari kegiatan tersebut.
Most of the plant species from the genus Momordica which originated from Asia and Africa have been shown to have functional value, both as food and medicinal plants. However, the quality of utilization of medicinal plants needs to be controlled through accurate authentication, for example through molecular analysis based on DNA barcodes. The matK sequence is one of the most widely used DNA barcode regions in plant molecular studies. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the genetic variation and phylogenetic relationships of several taxa from the genus Momordica, as well as to analyze the effectiveness of the application of the matK gene as a barcode region in the genus Momordica. The study was conducted by collecting matK sequence data from NCBI in order to obtain sequence data from 12 taxa of the genus Momordica. The data were then aligned and analyzed using MEGA 11 software which included analysis of genetic variation, reconstruction of phylogenetic trees based on Maximum Parsimony, and calculation of genetic distance values using the Kimura-2-Parameter substitution model. The results showed that the molecular analysis of 12 taxa from the genus Momordica based on matK DNA barcode region had been successfully carried out, as evidenced by the successful reconstruction of the phylogenetic tree which showed clear separation both at the interspecies and intraspecies levels. However, the separation that has formed has not been able to show the grouping of taxa based on the origin. Likewise with the calculation of genetic distance values which show consistent results. All analyzes also showed that the matK DNA barcode region has a sequence composition that is quite effective for molecular analysis for genus Momordica, but further studies are required to improve the effectiveness and accuracy of the results provided
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
