1. Introduction
The toddler is a vulnerable nutrition community for this group experiences a cycle of growth and development that require more vital nutrients than any other age group making it is easy to suffer nutritional disorders. Factors that affect the incidence of malnutrition are interrelated, namely direct factors include lack nutrition balanced in the long term and suffering from infectious diseases. While not a direct element contains the insufficient supply of food in the household, inadequate parenting, sanitation and environmental health of poor and limited access to health services ( Departement Kesehatan RI, 2009).
Efforts to overcome malnutrition and malnutrition are with supplementary feeding for 3-4 months recovery. Specifications type of food provided, among others with sufficient nutritional composition requirements minimum 1/3 of 1-day needs, the energy of 350-400 calories and 10-15 gram protein. Additional food feeding recovery is generally in the form of the presentation monotonous modisco that many children get bored in taking it. Modification of menu dishes for stunting needs to be made of solid nutrition, not boring and using local materials which are relatively cheaper.
The study aims to provide interventions for stunting in the region of Demak, Central Java by giving snack foods for three months using the basic formula that made by a researcher with spray drying technique which is a technology tamp nutritional food by removing water on foodstuffs into powder form.
Foodstuffs have high water levels causing it to become tasteless. This formula has the advantage besides nutrient dense, due to the low water content, this recipe is more durable and more comfortable dissolved in brewed water. Besides, this powdered formula is easily applied to various forms of dishes. Therefore, to increase the acceptance of this formula product will be modified into a variety of snacks with seven variations of dishes liked by toddlers namely in the form of brownies, ice cream, cookies, meatballs, muffins, cakes, and nuggets.
2. Materials And Methods
The design used in this study is a quasi-experimental pre-post with a control group with formula administration of additional food feeding intervention and control groups of modisco. This study was conducted to determine differences in body weight and nutritional status of children before and after being treated.
The populations in this study were all stunting in the District of Guntur Demak consisting of 36 children. Toddlers were selected from 36 stunting appropriate in inclusion criteria grouped into two groups, intervention and control groups.
The univariate analysis includes: the respondent data, the nutritional value of the proximate (vitamin A, Fe and Ca), formula of additional food feeding recovery, acceptance of method other food feeding recovery and a variety of snacks, recall control and treatment groups, and also the share of consumption of the respondents consume various meal. The bivariate analysis was conducted to analyze the differences in body weight of respondents with treatment giving multiple snack formula of additional food feeding (the treatment group) and giving modisco (control group) with independent test t-test on the degree of confidence of 95%.
3. Result And Discussion
Formula powder of spray drying made from carrots, fresh wet fish, and sesame oil. In general, the process of spray drying through stages: 1) the determination of the concentration of the material to be dried, blending each ingredient with water, then measured total dissolved solids. With refractometer values obtained for carrots = 38%, anchovies = 40% and sesame oil = 44%, 2) atomization carrots, anchovies, and sesame using stirring and filtering, then the material flowed into the atomizer in the form of ring/wheel with small spinning holes. Rotations for carrots are 5000; anchovies are 6000 and sesame oil is 7000. Droplets are formed and then dried and resized into a particle. In the atomizer, the droplet expanded surface that drying can take place more quickly, 3) droplet contact with the drying air is sprayed with high pressure on a circular nozzle (atomizer)with a temperature of 1700C by heating the material in 960C, 4) contacting the droplet with the air heat to make evaporation of water content results in droplets, so that the resulting powder and fall to the bottom of drying chamber and 5) drying the results of air separation and flaky powder in the room, air entered the separator and disposed of. Flake material is returned to the way in a blow, rejoined the line products in the process.
The process of making carrot powder of material of 10 kg was obtained 1234 g (12%), anchovy powder 3 kg was obtained 992 g (33%), and 1 kg of sesame powder obtained results of 641 g (64%). Preparation of snacks does mixing carrot powder, anchovy, and sesame as much as 40g, 20g, and 40g. The results of laboratory analysis of the nutritional values per 100 g of powder mixture powder are 5.4 g carbohydrates, protein 43.31 g, fat 43.85 g, 26.16 mg iron, calcium 1495.71 mg, 0.28 mg and vitamin zink A 2950 mg.
Flour result of spray drying is added each 50 g (20 g flour carrots, 20 g flour sesame and 10 g of flour anchovies) into eight kinds of snacks modifications such as biscuits, cakes, ice cream, muffins, nuggets, meatballs, brownies, and cookies, where one recipe snack produced 10 servings. The analysis showed the highest carbohydrate content in the cookies and the lowest on the ice cream as it is influenced by the water content of snacks where ice cream has a high water content but weak in cookies. The most elevated protein content is in meatballs (17.27%), and the lowest is in the brownies (4.61%) due to ingredients such as meat meatballs contain protein. The protein content per serving/portion for all kinds of munchies is higher than modisco protein (3.6%) as a donation of protein snack modisco 17.73 to 66.42% and 13.85% for children 1-3 years old and 13.17 -49.34% and 10.29% for children 4-6 years. The highest fat content is derived from chicken nuggets, high-fat muffin and lowest in fat than margarine in small amounts.
The calculation result of each calorie snack for muffin is 317.81 Kcal, nuggets = 494.33 Kcal, cake = 339.74 Kcal, meatball = 299.08 Kcal, cookies = 536.31 Kcal, ice cream = 410.28 and brownies =226.95 Kcal Kcal. Modisco snack contributes energy 26.58 to 47.67% and 8.89% for children 1-3 years, while for children 4-6 years modisco snacks contributed 14.32 to 33.52%, 6.25%.
The highest calcium in ice cream derived from milk materials and the lowest nuggets as chicken ingredient calcium content is not high. The content of vitamin A is almost the same for all kinds of snacks, except for slightly lower, i.e., meatballs. As for Fe, the highest and lowest brownies on ice cream as chocolate on the brownies material has a high mineral content, including Fe, while the substance of his ice cream maker is not high in Fe. Zink at the snack almost the same, except on the highest among other snack muffin obtained from Choco chips.
The average share of consumption in the six refined formula products of spray drying is still quite low. The lowest is nuggets and ice cream was 31.56%, while the highest was 39.38% brownies. The portion of refined products consumption the spray drying overall average of the six types of snack 36.38%, 31.56% consume minimal pieces (nuggets and ice cream) and a maximum of 39.38% of consumption portion (brownies). Portions of each respondent's consumption of all kinds of snacks provided during four-week high on respondents both consumption almost reached 58.93%, the lowest 25%, and the portion modisco formula consumption on average 22.26%.
Respondents in this study were divided into two groups: the treatment group was given snack formula spray drying, and the control group was given modisco every day for four weeks. Under the Nutrition Adequacy Score (NAS) children aged 1-3 years and 4-6 years of energy needs in 1125 and 1600 kcal, 26 and 35 g protein, Vitamin A 400 and 450 kg, 800 and 900 mg Calcium, Iron 6.5 and 10 mg and Zink 5 and 11 kg.
The recall is done against the respondent treatment, and control groups were then compared with nutritional sufficiency index for the similar age group. The result in the treatment group the number of respondents who meet the of energy, protein, vitamin A and Fe more than the control group. As for Ca and Zn both the treatment group and control NAS is insufficient.
Parents who do not work are 65% of the treatment group, and the control group is 75%. Educational factors of parents, especially the mother affect the ability to receive information from the outside, especially about good parenting, how to maintain the health of their students. Mothers with a good education are considered to know the menu selection is right for their children and in determining priorities in spending.
Work status affect the socio-economic situation, which is one of the factors that determine the amount of food available in the family that helped establish the nutritional status of the family, which includes the social elements are: the state of a resident of a community, family circumstances, education level of parents and the state of the house. While the economic data of socioeconomic factors include: the work of parents, family income, family expenses, food prices are dependent on market and seasonal variation (Supariasa,2002).Many socioeconomic factors which are difficult to assess quantitatively, primarily income and property (valuables, land, cattle) because people are reluctant to talk to strangers, including the fear of taxes and robbery. Education level included in the socio-economic factors as the level of education regarding the nutritional status by increasing education will likely be able to raise revenue thus increasing the purchasing power of food to meet the nutritional needs of the family (Achadi, 2007). The lack of empowerment of the family and community resource utilization affect the family's socioeconomic factors, including the lack of empowerment of women and the level of education and knowledge of parents, especially the mother in caring for children also include social and economic factors that will affect the nutritional status of the family.
Gender of respondents in treatment group is more men (65%), while the control group of more women (55%). Most respondents age in the treatment group (50%) are under the age of three years (toddlers), while the control group under the five largest (toddler) 50%.
Number of stunting by body weight and age in the treatment group decreased from 20 respondents into three respondents, while the control group declined from 20 respondents to 9 respondents indicating giving snack is much lower than the number of respondents giving modisco experiencing undernourishment.
Total stunting bodyweight / height in treatment group decreased from 20 respondents into five respondents, and the control group dropped from 20 respondents to 8 respondents where those who are given more nutritional snack decrease less than modisco administration. Test distinction of Mc Nemar p-value obtained bodyweight /age = 0 .227 and bodyweight / height = 0 .453, which means that Ho is accepted that there are differences in the provision of a variety of snack (the treatment group) and modisco (control group) on nutritional status of Weight / Age and Weight / Height of the respondents.
This is in line with Fitriyani (2012) who studied biscuits for additional food recovery where there is a significant difference before and after the administration of the nutritional status. The result proved that 100% of very thin children were reduced to 40.9 % (weight/height) and 86.4% of small children were reduced to 40% (Weight / Age) with the contribution of calories 54.60 ± 15.42% and 79.17 ± 37.75% protein for Nutritional Sufficiency Index for children.
The results of the analysis of the condition of the initial body weight treatment and control group (independent t-test) obtained p-value = 0.295 indicating no difference in early treatment and control groups. But, the test results of paired t-test B in the beginning and end of the treatment and control groups at both obtained p- value of 0.000, proving that there is a difference of bodyweight baseline (week 0) compared to the end (week 4) in the treatment group and control group treatment where the average increase in treatment group is more substantial than the control group.
The group gave snack (treated) experienced an increase in the average of bodyweight from 9.4 kg to 10.8 kg, whereas in the category of modisco administration (control) experienced an increase in the average weight of 8.9 kg to 9.4 kg. In the treatment group, bodyweight tend to increase from the first week to the fourth-week snack giving.
4. Conclusion
Providing various snacks with the added formula of spray drying is more effective to add the body weight of under nutrition toddler. But, further research is necessary with the modification of more spray drying powder on various snacks and giving the multiple snacks longer (more than four weeks) to ensure the proper portion to increase the body weight and height of under nutritional children.
