- Abstract
Acute malnutrition among children still become crucial problem for Indonesia. As many as 10.4% of children under five years in Indonesia experience acute malnutrition which 3.5% of them classified in severe acute malnutrition. RUTF (Ready to Use Therapeutic Food) is effective in tackling severe acute malnutrition problem, however RUTF is still obtained from imports. Thus, innovation by utilizing local product is needed. The study aimed was to develop and analyze RUTF paste using selected local crops i.e. rice, corn, soybeans and tempeh to overcome severe acute malnutrition problem. This experimental study used a randomized factorial design with two repetitions. Treatments used in this experiment consisted of two factors based on different types of cereal and bean. Each factor consists of two levels, namely rice and corn (Factor A) as well as soybean and tempeh (Factor B). Four formulas were obtained, which were A2B¹ (rice-soybean), A2B1 (corn-soybean), A1B2 (rice-tempeh), A2B2 (corn-tempeh). Formula with mixture of rice and soybean was selected based on the sensory evaluation result, protein content and in vitro protein digestibility. The nutrient content analysis showed that the product contained 1.87% moisture, 2.80% ash, 14.35% protein, 32.50% fat, 45.29% carbohydrate, 531 kcal energy, 3.19% edible fiber, 13.99 mg/100 g Fe, 395.73 mg/100 g Ca and 95.47% in vitro protein digestibility. Overall, the nutrition values of selected RUTF have fulfilled the requirements by WHO, thus it could be concluded that RUTF paste using cereals and soybeans can become an alternative to overcome severe acute malnutrition problem in children under five years.
