Hypertension is a significant global health problem, especially in specific groups such as pregnant women. The high incidence and potential for serious complications demand non pharmacological management efforts and innovative use of local foods. This study examines the potential of local functional foods such as Ambon bananas, banana blossoms, and bamboo shoots as alternatives for health management and product development, particularly those related to hypertension in pregnant women. The method used was a systematic literature review using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach, which encompasses four main stages: identification, screening, feasibility assessment, and analysis of results.The study results showed that the Ambon banana diet significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Factors such as age, family support, stress levels, and fast food consumption were shown to be significantly associated with the incidence of hypertension in pregnant women. Furthermore, bamboo shoot consumption significantly reduced blood cholesterol levels and blood pressure. In terms of product innovation, the fish floss formulation combined with banana blossoms or bamboo shoots received positive feedback from the panelists. The fermentation process of bamboo shoots is known to produce flour with a very high crude fiber content. Therefore, this local food has significant potential as a source of additional fiber and a raw material for value-added processed products to support food security and improve public health.

Fish floss is a processed fishery product made from fresh fish as raw material in the form of powder or fiber from fish meat. The seasoning given has a brownish color which goes through boiling, steaming, shredding, adding spices and the cooking process. Jackfruit dami contains 1.94% crude fiber. Due to its high fiber content, Dami jackfruit has the potential to be processed into food products and is a good source of fiber in making shredded meat. This research aims to determine the differences in organoleptic hedonic tests and hedonic quality and nutritional value profile of tuna fish floss with the addition of jackfruit dami as an alternative source of protein and fiber. The design used was a completely randomized design with 3 different treatments between tuna (gr) and jackfruit dami (gr) F1 (75:25), F2 (50:50), and F3 (25:75). The results of this study showed that the F2 treatment had a level of preference for color (3.93), taste (3.67), texture (3.63), aroma (3.63), and overall (3.67). Color, texture and overall have significant differences in panelists' preferences, but the aroma and taste aspects are not significant in panelists' preferences. The best treatment, F2, has a water content of 7.08%, protein content of 48.1%, and fiber content of 3.50%.

The strategic marine and fisheries potential of Situbondo Regency includes a high (106.28 tonnes per year) potential for catching sea milkfish (Chanos chanos). The neighborhood makes very little attempts to use processed sea milkfish, nevertheless. Fishermen on the Situbondo coast catch sea milkfish (Chanos chanos), which is only sold fresh and has a poor selling price. Using this chance, Dpore Meme Micro Business turns fresh marine milkfish into shredded fish with a great nutritious value. Because it has a unique flavor, a softer texture, is more fragrant and delectable, and is packed with nutrients, marine milk floss has a potential commercial opportunity and is highly alluring to the general population. There is a need for marketing development, which includes developing online marketing, expanding the marketing area, increasing collaboration with marketing networks or resellers in areas outside the city of Situbondo, as well as optimizing promotions to support product marketing. The current challenge is that the marketing and promotion carried out by the Dpore Meme Micro Enterprise is still offline and on a local scale in the Situbondo Regency area.

Fish has a fairly high protein content, besides that it contains OMEGA-3 unsaturated fatty acids (in which it contains EPA and DHA) which are quite popular for maintaining and lowering cholesterol, containing vitamins and minerals. Fish meatballs, Shredded Fish, Naga Legs and Nugget are diversified processed fish products. This dedication aims   to increase the knowledge and skills of the community in processing fish into fish meatballs, shredded fish, dragon feet and nuggets. The method used in  dedication is direct counseling and training. The results obtained from this dedication showed that increase knowledge and skills of PKK mothers in diversification process fish product.
