Penambahan Bubuk Bunga Rosella (Hisbiscus Sabdariffa) Terhadap Karakteristik Minuman Instan Kunyit Putih (Curcuma Zedoaria)
White turmeric instant drink is a ready-to-eat herbal product that is practical, dissolves easily, and has a long shelf life. However, the negative perception of its bitter taste has led to low public interest, especially the millennial generation. Innovation is needed to make the product more attractive and desirable. One innovation effort is to add rosella flower powder (Hibiscus sabdariffa), which contains anthocyanins as a natural colorant and has a sour taste that can suppress the bitter taste of white turmeric. This study aims to determine the effect of adding rosella flower powder on the organoleptic characteristics of white turmeric instant drink. The research was conducted experimentally using a Randomized Group Design (RAK) with three treatments (P1 = 2%, P2 = 4%, P3 = 6%) and three replications. Organoleptic tests were conducted on taste, aroma, color, texture, and overall acceptance by 30 panelists. The results showed that the best treatment was obtained in P3 (6%), with the highest level of liking in color (83.3%), taste (71.1%), aroma (68.9%), texture (61.1%), and overall acceptance (60%). Whereas P2 and P1 are less desirable with P2 value of color (48.9%), taste (48.9%), aroma (47.9%), texture (50.0%), overall acceptance (47.8%) and P1 color (43.3%), taste (40.0%), aroma (45.6%), texture (45.6%), overall acceptance (42.2%). The addition of rosella powder can improve the sensory quality and attractiveness of white turmeric instant drink.

Determinants of Exclusive Breastfeeding Among Mothers with Infants Aged 6–24 Months
Background : Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life is essential for optimal infant growth, development, and disease prevention. However, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding remains below national and regional targets in many areas of Indonesia Objective : This study aimed to analyze the determinants of exclusive breastfeeding among mothers with infants aged 6–24 months in the working area of Puskesmas Waru, Penajam Paser Utara Regency, East Kalimantan Province. Methods : An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 122 mothers selected using simple random sampling from a population of 345 mothers. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring maternal knowledge, maternal attitude, early initiation of breastfeeding (IMD), maternal occupation, family support, health worker support, and exclusive breastfeeding practices. Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results : The results showed that 44.3% of mothers practiced exclusive breastfeeding, while 55.7% did not. Maternal knowledge (p = 0.000), maternal attitude (p = 0.000), and family support (p = 0.000) were significantly associated with exclusive breastfeeding. In contrast, maternal occupation (p = 0.875) and health worker support (p = 0.083) were not significantly associated with exclusive breastfeeding Conclusions : These findings indicate that behavioral and social factors play important roles in influencing exclusive breastfeeding practices. Strengthening health promotion programs that improve maternal knowledge, foster positive breastfeeding attitudes, and enhance family involvement is essential to increase exclusive breastfeeding coverage.

Implementation of Standardized Nutrition Care Process in Severe Pediatric Respiratory Cases
A 1-year-and-9-month-old male patient was admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital with a complex multiorgan condition, including severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, recurrent pneumonia, spasmodic croup, secundum atrial septal defect, and epilepsy. This condition led to high metabolic stress, feeding difficulties, and mild protein-energy malnutrition. This study aimed to provide standardized nutritional care to support metabolic stability, meet increased energy needs, and prevent further nutritional deterioration. A case study was conducted using the Standardized Nutrition Care Process from March 10–17, 2026. Enteral nutrition was administered via nasogastric tube using an amino acid-based formula (Neocate Junior) with a step-up approach to prevent refeeding syndrome, starting from 552.3 kcal and progressing toward 990 kcal. The intervention showed positive outcomes. The patient’s consciousness improved on the first day, and by day 6, energy intake reached 100% of the target, increasing to 80.8% by day 7. Hemoglobin levels improved from 8.7 g/dL to 10.9 g/dL, while body weight remained stable at 9 kg. Gradual enteral nutrition proved effective in supporting recovery and preventing catabolism in critically ill pediatric patients.

Nutrition Care Process of Malnutrition in Patients with Suspected Sepsis, Anemia, and Severe Marasmic-Type PEM in the Rehabilitation Phase
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by organ dysfunction resulting from a systemic inflammatory response to infection, often accompanied by increased metabolic demands and a risk of malnutrition. This condition becomes more complex when accompanied by chronic disease anemia and severe protein-energy malnutrition (PEM), which can further worsen the patient’s nutritional status. NCP is a systematic and standardized method used by nutritionists or dietitians to provide structured, high-quality, safe, and measurable nutritional services aimed at identifying and addressing nutritional problems. This case study was conducted in Room Gardenia 2, Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital, from March 10–17, 2026, involving a 16 year old male patient diagnosed with Suspected Sepsis, Anemia, and Severe Marasmic-Type PEM in the Rehabilitation Phase. A comprehensive nutritional assessment was performed on the patient, including anthropometric, biochemical, physical/clinical data, dietary history, and personal history. The nutritional intervention provided consisted of a pediatric diet in liquid form, administered gradually according to the patient’s clinical condition, tolerance, and acceptance of the food. The results of the intervention showed a significant increase in nutrient intake, including energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrates, which gradually increased to >80% of the patient’s daily requirements, although there was no significant change in the patient’s nutritional status. Overall, the application of the Standardized Nutrition Care Process in this case study demonstrates that this approach is effective in improving patients’ nutritional intake, making it a crucial approach in the nutritional management of pediatric patients with severe malnutrition.
