In Indonesia, dry noodles are one of the most widely consumed foods because they are easy to cook. The use of banana flour as a substitute for making noodles is an effort to diversify food in reducing imports of wheat flour. This study dried noodles were made from katuk leaf extract and from the substitution of banana kepok flour with wheat flour. The chemical and organoleptic properties of noodles added with banana kepok flour and katuk leaf extract as natural dyes are the focus of this study. A two-factor factorial Complete Randomized Design (RAL) was used in this study, specifically the ratio of wheat flour to cocoon banana flour (5:95, 10:90, 15:85 g) and the concentration of katuk leaf extract (10/100, 20/100, 30/100 ml). The results showed that katuk leaf dried noodles the ratio of cocoon banana flour and wheat flour 5:95 with katuk leaf extract 30g/100ml contain an ash content of 3.43%; protein content of 14.72%; crude fiber of 11.11%; antioxidant activity of 17.32%; reduced sugar content of 0.24%. The organoleptic test results of dry noodles of katuk leaves compared to banana kepok flour and wheat flour 5:95 with katuk leaf extract 30g/100ml resulted in a stable green color with a score of 2.95 (quite like), aroma 2.52 (strong enough), taste 2.10 (quite like), and overall liking 2.99 (quite like). The highest antioxidant activity parameter was obtained with a ratio of banana kepok flour and wheat flour 15:85 with katuk leaf extract 30g/100ml with a yield of 23.07%. The noodles that the panelists liked the most were the ratio of banana kepok flour and wheat flour 5:95 with katuk leaf extract 30g / 100ml with a result of 2.99 (quite like). Dried noodles made from katuk leaves and banana kepok have high enough antioxidant activity so that they can become nutritious foods that also have beneficial values for body health.

Putu ayu was traditional Indonesian caked with a soft texture that was a sweet and dominant colour of green. Wheat flour in Indonesian was grew used, so local materials need to be developed to reduce their dependence on wheat flour. This studied aimed to determined of soy flour and extract of katuk leaves which had high antioxidant and preferred consumer. This studied used was two factor Completetly Randomized Design (CRD) with ratio wheat flour and soybeans flour (90:10), (80:20) and (70:30) and extract concentration katuk leaves 10%, 15% and 20%. Putu ayu caked the best treatment was on ratio wheat flour and soy flour (70:30) with extract katuk leaves 15% because had high antioxidant activity 18,35%, aw moistured content 44,99%, ash content 8,35%, total fat 3,53%,8,59% protein, and 9,18% fiber. Soy flour substitutions and the addition of katuk leaves had the potential to increased the protein level of the putu ayu caked.

Breast milk (ASI) is the primary and best food for infants because it contains almost all the nutrients in the right composition to meet the needs of the baby for optimal growth and development. Breastfeeding mothers require additional nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein, and iron. One of the food ingredients that contains carbohydrates, protein, and iron is sorghum and katuk leaves. Sorghum is rich in carbohydrates and protein, while katuk leaves contain lactagogue, which helps increase breast milk production. This study aims to analyze the effect of sorghum flour substitution and the addition of katuk leaves in wet noodles on the level of preference, organoleptic quality, and nutritional content of wet noodles as an alternative food for breastfeeding mothers. This study used a true experimental method with a 3x2 factorial design, involving three levels of sorghum flour substitution (10%, 20%, 30%) and two levels of katuk leaf flour addition (2%, 4%). A preference test was conducted with 35 panelists, while an organoleptic quality test was conducted with 25 panelists using a hedonic scale, analyzed with Friedman, Wilcoxon, and Two-Way Anova tests. The results showed that sorghum flour and katuk leaf flour substitutions significantly affected preference levels in terms of color, aroma, texture, and taste, with formula X1Y1 being the most preferred. Sorghum flour and katuk leaf flour substitution affected the organoleptic quality parameters of color and texture but did not influence aroma and taste. The best nutritional content of noodles from the preference test in formula X1Y1 (10% sorghum, 2% katuk leaves) per 100 grams was 6.08% protein, 42.51% carbohydrates, and 3.11% iron.

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding is a global strategy to improve the growth, development, health and survival of babies. One effort to increase breast milk supply is by improving the quality of food which has a direct effect on milk production, namely katuk leaves. Objective: aims to determine the effect of katuk leaf extract on the adequacy of breast milk production in post partum mothers at Midwife Misniarti. Method: This research is a quasi experiment with a two group posttest only design. This research method is a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group design. The sample in this study was 30 people consisting of 15 experimental groups and 15 control groups. Data collection uses an observation sheet. Univariate analysis uses central tendency distribution and bivariate analysis uses paired t test. The results showed that the mean sufficiency of breast milk in the experimental group before giving katuk leaves was 6.80 and after giving katuk leaves was 8.47. The conclusion is that giving katuk leaves has proven to be effective for the adequacy of breast milk (ASI) in breastfeeding mothers.

Breast milk production can be increased, one way is by consuming vegetables. The types of vegetables that can increase breast milk production include katuk leaves, young papaya leaves, moringa leaves and lembayung leaves. Consumption of young papaya leaves is still rarely done by breastfeeding mothers. Young papaya leaves are a natural plant that acts as a lactogogum because it can increase and facilitate breast milk. Research objective: The effect of giving boiled papaya leaves on breast milk production in postpartum mothers in the working area of the Tinondo District Health Center. East Kolaka in 2021. The type of research used was a quasi-experimental method. The sample in the research was all postpartum mothers who were not breastfeeding smoothly at the Tinondo District Health Center. East Kolaka, namely 21 people using a purposive sampling technique. There is an effect of giving boiled papaya leaves on breast milk production in postpartum mothers in the working area of ​​the Tinondo District Health Center. East Kolaka in 2021 where the results of measuring breast milk production before being given treatment obtained an average value of 3271.43 to an average value of measuring breast milk production of 3590.48 after being given boiled papaya leaves with a sig value (2-tailed) 0.000 < 0.05. Suggestions for health workers should be used as information about the smoothness and production of breast milk for postpartum mothers.
