Complementary breast milk food (MP ASI) is food that is easy for babies to consume and digest. MP ASI given must provide additional nutrition to meet the nutritional needs of a growing baby. Even though breast milk is the best food for babies, babies aged > 6 months need more vitamins, minerals, protein and carbohydrates. This high nutritional need cannot only be obtained from breast milk, but also requires additional complementary foods from breast milk. So, what are the benefits of giving MP ASI to babies? MP ASI makes babies have a more complete source of nutrition. Even though breast milk is the best food for babies, after the age of >6 years babies need more vitamins, minerals, proteins and carbohydrates. This high nutritional need cannot only be obtained from breast milk, but also requires additional complementary foods from breast milk. However, MP ASI ~ does not mean stopping breastfeeding because during the first year MP ASI is only a means to supplement breast milk. MP ASI makes the baby less dependent on consuming excess breast milk. Giving MP ASI aims to train and get the baby used to consuming food that contains nutrients. that his body needs as he ages. Apart from that, MP ASI also helps develop the baby's ability to chew and swallow food.

Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) is an important vegetable because of its nutritional value and health benefits. This plant is a rich source of carotenoids, which are rich in water-soluble vitamins, phenolics, flavonoid polysaccharides, mineral salts, and vitamins, all of which are beneficial for health. Pumpkin fruit has a very thick and hard skin, so it can act as a barrier to the rate of respiration, the release of water through the evaporation process, and the entry of air that causes the oxidation process. The purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of pumpkin seed extract (curcubita moschata). ) against the inhibition of staphylococcus aureus bacteria by well diffusion method. This type of research is a true experimental laboratory using the well diffusion method. The ethanol extract of pumpkin seeds (curcubita moschata) which was tested using the well method was then divided into several concentrations including 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. On the NA media that has been made then smeared with Staphylococcus aureus bacteria which had been previously sterilized, then four wells were made in a petri dish after which pumpkin seed extract was added to each concentration. Chloramphenicol was used as a positive control as a positive control. It was then incubated at 37o for 24 hours, then the inhibition zone formed was then measured. The result of this research is pumpkin seed extract (curcubita moschata) has antibacterial activity in the presence of inhibition around the wells of each extract concentration. At a concentration of 10% extract with an inhibitory diameter of 19 mm, a concentration of 15% in an inhibitory diameter of 20 mm, a concentration of 20% in an inhibitory diameter of 21 mm and for a concentration of 15% with an inhibitory diameter of 24 mm, it can be concluded that the extract of pumpkin seeds (curcubita) moschata.) has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.

Kekurangan gizi merupakan permasalahan serius, sekitar 30% penduduk dunia termasuk Indonesia, terutama anak-anak, berisiko menderita kekurangan gizi Zn. Kekurangan gizi Zn juga menjadi salah satu faktor kekerdilan (stunting) yang prevalensinya cukup besar dan merata di Indonesia. Demikian pula masalah anemia karena kekurangan asupan zat gizi mikro terutama zat besi. Beras adalah makanan pokok sebagian besar penduduk di Indonesia. Sebagai pangan utama, beras diketahui memiliki nilai gizi mikro yang tidak memadai sehingga berpotensi menimbulkan kekurangan gizi bagi konsumen. Biofortifikasi merupakan salah satu inovasi dalam meningkatkan mutu gizi beras. Keuntungan biofortifikasi antara lain : (1) dapat dikembangkan pada bahan makanan pokok, (2) lebih murah dan menguntungkan dari aspek budidaya karena benih yang sudah melalui proses fortifikasi akan terikut pada generasi selanjutnya, (3) bermanfaat bagi masyarakat konsumen rawan gizi. Kandungan mineral penting seperti Fe (besi) dan Zn (seng) pada beras dapat ditingkatkan melalui biofortifikasi menjadi beras kaya Fe atau Zn. Beras kaya gizi mineral hasil biofortifikasi dapat dimanfaatkan dan dikembangkan Pemerintah guna menanggulangi masalah gizi pada masyarakat, terutama dari golongan ekonomi lemah.

food service in higher education institutions has an important role in supporting the health and well-being of students and staff.
