The high food waste in a hospital showed the quality of food service was not optimal. The Holistic Hospital of Purwakarta that used small, medium, and lage portion standards in its food service faced some problems regarding high food waste. This study aimed to find out the effect of meal’s portion standard changes on the food waste in Holistic Hospital patients. Pre-experimental study using one group pre-post test design was done on 29 patients using convenient sampling technique.The changing of meal’s portion was done for rice from medium portion (150 g) to small (0.5 or 0.25 portion). Measurement of food waste used weighing method. Data analysis used Wilcoxon test continued with Kendall-Tau correlation test. The results showed that 65.5 percent of patients were aged around 42-68 years old receiving positive diet and 34.5 percent were non-positive diets. At the beginning of diet, the food waste of rice of all patients was high (27.4-64.9% waste of rice) and it was significantly decreased after small portion was given, even though there were still 27.6 percent of patients with > 20 percent waste of rice. There was a significant influence between the change in diet portion of patients toward food waste of rice (r=0.804; p<0.05). It was concluded that the changes in diet portion of patients were able to reduce the food waste.ABSTRAK Tingginya sisa makanan pasien di Rumah Sakit menunjukkan kualitas penyelenggaraan makanan yang belum optimal. Rumah Sakit Holistic Purwakarta yang menggunakan standar porsi small, medium, dan large dalam penyelenggaraan makanan masih mengalami kendala berupa tingginya sisa makanan pasien. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh perubahan standar porsi terhadap sisa makanan pasien di Rumah Sakit Holistic Purwakarta. Penelitian pre-eksperimen dengan one group pre-post test design ini dilakukan pada 29 orang pasien dengan teknik convenient sampling. Perubahan porsi makanan dilakukan pada nasi putih dari porsi medium (150 g) menjadi small (0,5 porsi atau 0,25 porsi). Pengukuran sisa makanan menggunakan metode penimbangan. Analisis data menggunakan uji Chi-Square dan uji Wilcoxon yang dilanjutkan uji korelasi Kendall-Tau. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 65,5 persen pasien berusia 42-68 tahun menerima diet positif dan 34,5 persen menerima diet non-positif. Sisa porsi nasi di awal pemberian diet pada seluruh pasien masih tinggi (27,4-64,9% sisa nasi) dan menurun secara signifikan setelah porsi nasi diberikan dalam porsi small (p<0,05) meskipun masih terdapat 27,6 persen pasien dengan sisa nasi > 20 persen. Terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara perubahan porsi diet pasien terhadap sisa nasi (r=0,804; p<0,05). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa perubahan porsi nasi pada diet pasien mampu menurunkan sisa makanan. Kata kunci: standar porsi, sisa makanan
Fulfilling energy and nutritional intake that is not in accordance with dietary recommendations and nutritional guidelines will affect the quality of athlete’s diet. Preliminary study results that an average of athlete’s energy consumption only 74% of the recommended energy requirement and 8% athletes are undernutrition. This study aims to evaluate the quality of the diet and sufficiency of energy and nutrition and to determine the relationship with the nutritional status of young male athletes. This study was conducted in 2019. Kind of this study is observational analytic, which using a cross sectional design to 85 young male athletes of the Central Java Student Sports Education and Training Center from 9 kind of sports (takraw, weightlifting, swimming, fencing, basketball, rowing, volleyball, soccer, and athletics). The subjects were measured of their weight, height, fat mass, and waist circumference and then determined their nutritional status (BMI age, body fat percentage, and height ratio). Energy and nutritional sufficiency were obtained by interview using the Semi-Quantitative FFQ, and data of food quality were obtained by using the Diet Quality Indexs International (DQI-I) questionnaire. Data analysis used the Spearman Rank Test with a significance level (α) 0.05 and a confidence level of 95% CI. The results showed that the quality of the foods (p = 0.144; 0362; and 0296), as well as the sufficient energy and nutrients (p = 0.143; 0410; 0608; 0153; 0735; 0836; 0222; 0533; 0326; 0553; 0392; and 0308 ) but they were not related to nutritional status (BMI age, body fat percentage, and WtHR). It was concluded that the quality of the diet was related to energy and nutritional sufficiency, but both of them do not show a significant relationship with the nutritional status of young male athletes of Province of Central Java.
Sports drinks could be applied as sports food for athletes during the training and recovery stage. This study aimed to formulate a sports energy gel from Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica, L.). This study conducted on a total of 18 treatments were consist of 2 factors (hydrocolloid type and storage temperature). The observed characteristics were pH, total soluble solids (TSS), and physical and sensory changes due to storage. The results show that there is a significant difference in the pH and the total soluble solids. During storage, the color is getting darker, cloudy, froth, and rolled, and its acids and alcohol odor increased in all the treatment stored at room temperature compared with refrigerator temperature storage. It can conclude that different types of hydrocolloid and storage temperatures can significantly decrease the physical quality and sensory characteristics.
Fulfillment of energy needs and nutrients was a major factor that could optimized the nutritional status of athletes in order to improve their performance. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between energy and macronutrients intake with the nutritional status of young athletes in Education Center for Student Sports Training, Semarang. This descriptive correlation study used cross-sectional design in 40 student athletes from martial arts branches. BMI and percent body fat were used as the main indicator of the nutritional status assessment of the subject. The subject's body fat thickness was measured to estimated the percent of body fat. The subject's intake and adequacy of the energy, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins also measured using a multiple 24-hours recall (three days nonconsecutive). Results show that the daily energy, carbohydrates, proteins, and fat intake are not significantly correlate with BMI for age (p > 0.05). In addition, daily intake of energy, carbohydrates, proteins and fats are related significantly with the percent of body fat (p<0.05) despite the adequacy of energy, carbohydrate, protein, and fat levels entirely. It can be concluded that the daily intake of energy and macronutrients can affect body fat composition.
Dehydration during exercise has been shown to limit performance. This study aimed to determine the best hydrocolloid for producing sports energy gel from chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L.). This study was a completed random-design study using one factor: the addition of 0.1% w/w hydrocolloids (SEG1: xanthan gum; SEG2: pectin; and SEG3: carboxymethyl cellulose). A sports energy gel was then analyzed for pH, viscosity, total soluble solids, potassium content, and gross energy. The sensory characteristics that were analyzed include color, texture, aroma, and flavor, using hedonic tests on 25 panelists. The addition of different hydrocolloids resulted in significant differences in pH, viscosity, total soluble solids, potassium, and energy contents (p = 0.026; 0.0001; 0.0001; and 0.0001). Differences in hydrocolloid types also led to differences in the panelists’ perceptions of the sports energy gels’ colors and textures (p = 0.008 and 0.0001). The best formulation was the sports energy gel with added xanthan gum, which showed the highest average energy, total soluble solids, potassium, and viscosity values, and the lowest average of pH values (60.24 ± 0.340, 10.6 ± 0.08, 19.6 ± 0.23, 367.4 ± 9.81, and 5.2 ± 0.38, respectively). The conclusion is that chia seeds can be used as the main ingredient for producing a high-energy sports gel. Energy has a huge impact on a person’s physical and mental health.
