The panelists' acceptance of the making of purple sweet potato gel candy through the hedonic test results showed that the most favored by the Panelists were the product code 472 with a composition of 60 grams of sweet potato, 75 grams of gelatin, 75 grams of sugar, 1 gram of himalaya salt.

Early childhood development has an important role in the development of an individual. In order for a child to have good development, it is necessary to carry out early detection of the child's growth and development with the aim of achieving optimization of a child's development. Data shows an increase in the prevalence of parents who do not regularly monitor their children's growth and development. Monitoring the growth and development of toddlers is carried out in conjunction with early detection of developmental disorders in toddlers so that intervention and simulation can provide optimal results. This community service activity aims to determine children's developmental growth and deviations that occur as well as providing education to parents, especially about the growth and development of pre-school children and the factors that support children's growth and development. The target of the activity is pre-school children and mothers/parents of Prima Bhakti Kindergarten students. The method used in the activity is the KPSP child growth and development detection instrument and to increase parents' knowledge about growth and development, it is carried out through counseling, question and answer discussions and demonstrations on how to stimulate children's growth and development. The results of early detection of growth assessment using the WHO curve showed that 95% had normal stature and normal nutrition and 5% were malnourished. Examination of children's development with the KPSP instrument was 100% developmentally appropriate. The education provided to parents shows that they are active participants in question and answer discussion activities and demonstrations of growth and development stimulation.

The nutritional problems faced in Indonesia today remain the same, namely that many children suffer from malnutrition. The national movement to increase breastfeeding is one of the government's efforts to improve the health status of mothers and children. However, the achievement of exclusive breastfeeding has not been achieved, one of the reasons is the breastfeeding factor. Meanwhile, the point in the success of providing exclusive breastfeeding and continuing it for up to 2 years is related to a mother's understanding of lactation management. So this service activity is carried out to teach mothers who are young pregnant, late pregnant and have just given birth to a 1 month old baby to participate so that their knowledge increases. The method in this activity is a pre-test before providing information related to breastfeeding and lactation management, then continuing with the post-test to see the success of the activity. The mothers' enthusiasm was seen to be very high and resulted in a strong determination to be able to provide exclusive breast milk to their babies. The success rate of this activity was 80%, judged from the responses and questions from the participants.

Background: MPASI is a food transition from breast milk to family food. Giving MPASI should be given to infants aged 6-24 months in stages both from the texture and number of portions. Proper provision of complementary feeding can lead to nutritional problems in infants. Proper processing and administration of MPASI, mothers are required to have sufficient knowledge so that they can create healthy babies. Objective: to describe the knowledge of mothers about nutritious food and complementary feeding in infants aged 6-12 months. Method: This study uses an explorative descriptive design.

Monitoring nutrition and health during the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK) in Pacellekang Village is very important to prevent stunting. However, during the pandemic, many posyandu were forced to stop their activities because they were in the red zone. The assistance program for malnourished pregnant women (KEK) aims to improve the health and nutritional status of KEK pregnant women in Makassar City. Community service activities are carried out online using Zoom meetings, WhatsApp groups and Google Forms. The results of the service show that most of the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women regarding nutrition and health are classified as good. The majority (85.2%) of pregnant women had carried out pregnancy checks at least four times with a midwife or doctor during pregnancy. Apart from that, 88.9% of pregnant women regularly take blood supplement tablets. Around 85.2% of pregnant women follow the principles of balanced nutrition in their daily diet. However, 55.6% of pregnant women who frequently experience nausea and vomiting tend to lose their appetite and skip meals and snacks. Based on program monitoring in October, there were records that two pregnant women were unable to provide exclusive breastfeeding (IMD) due to premature birth (separation care), and young mothers (under 20 years) felt anxious when breast milk did not come immediately after delivery, so they gave Formula milk.    

Background: The maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Indonesia is still quite high,based on the results of SUPAS in 2015, the MMR was 305/ 100,000 live births.Efforts to decrease of MMR can be done by ensuring that every mother can access quality health services for pregnant women because every pregnancy has the risk of complications. Integrated antenatal services are carried out including health counseling, antenatal care, case management and follow-up, preparation for delivery and planning for referrals in case of pregnancy. In the initial researchconducted in Hutaginjang Village, Muara, there were still pregnant women who did not have their pregnancy checked according to the minimum pregnancy standards. Purpose: Screening and pregnancy risk factors is indispensable for early pregnancy and the potential for emergency pregnancy. Methods: Activities carried out by integrated and free pregnancy examinations for pregnant women include measuring weight / height and arm  ircumference, vital signs, physical examination, Hb examination, urine protein and glucose, provision of IEC about nutritional fulfillment, overcoming complaints of pregnant women in trimester IIII,preparation for delivery and administration of iron supplements as well as preparation for referrals for mothers who experience complications in their pregnancy. Results: The activity was carried out without any obstacles, with 18 mothers having their pregnancies checked. The results of the examination found several risk factors for pregnancy, namely age under 20 years and above 35 years of parity, history of delivery by sectio, height below 145 cm, anemia,preeclampsia, breech location, hyperemesia gravidarum, gestational diabetes and gemelli pregnancy. Each mother received communication, information and education related to  maintaining and improving health during pregnancy and  giving iron tablets. Conclusion:Screening and control of pregnancy risk factors is needed to detect early whether the pregnancy is at risk and has the potential for emergency pregnancy, so that the mother can pass her pregnancy well and give birth to a healthy baby.   

Background: One of the causes of high maternal and infant mortality rates (IMR) is anemia of pregnancy and chronic energy deficiency (KEK). Anemia and KEK in pregnant women can increase the risk of low birth weight babies (LBW), premature birth, maternal and infant mortality and stunting (short children).To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to carry out screening and Fe supplementation as a preventive measure to prevent anemia in pregnancy. Activity This community service aims to screen for anemia and KEK  pregnant women and women of childbearing age (WUS) as well as the provision of Fe supplementation for prevent iron deficiency anemia. Method: The method used is involving community as a form of empowerment such as measuring LiLA and levels of hemoglobin (Hb), BMI, and distribution of Fe supplementation. Besides that, it is also done education about anemia in pregnancy. The population in this activity is women aged fertile 15-40 years, a total of 42 people in Sambirobyong Hamlet, Pangkur Village,Ngawi Regency. Results: The results show that from 42 women of childbearing age in the hamlet Sambirobyong were screened, there were 3 people (7%) women of childbearing age temporary anemia 1 person (2%) with anemia status plus KEK. From 4 WUS people for age <20 years as many as 2 people (50%) with 1 person condition pregnant with anemia and 1 non-pregnant with anemia. While 2 people(50%) aged >35 years with 1 pregnant condition with anemia + KEK and 1 non-pregnant people with anemia. There is 1 person (2%) experiencing the risk of SEZ. Conclusion: Screening results show that anemia and KEK are more common WUS group aged <20 years and >35 years. It is necessary to carry out periodic evaluations every months and giving Fe supplementation to WUS who are still anemic and the risk of KEK and education on the importance of quality nutrition to prevent these complications. 

Iron (Fe) tablets are mineral tablets that the body uses to make red blood cells and hemoglobin. For red blood cell production, Fe is the most significant element. Food is a natural source of iron. Nutritional anemia can develop in pregnant women if they don't get enough iron in their diet (blood deficiency). Pregnant women need iron (Fe) tablets, so they must consume at least 90 Fe tablets during pregnancy. The aim of the research was to determine the relationship between consumption of Fe tablets and the incidence of anemia at the Penrang Community Health Center, Wajo Regency. The type of research used was a cross sectional study. The samples were 72 pregnant women who underwent pregnancy checks at the Penrang Community Health Center, Wajo Regency, using a random sampling technique. The research results showed a relationship between consumption of Fe tablets and the incidence of anemia at the Penrang Health Center, Wajo Regency, where the p value = 0.000 < ? = 0.05. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between the consumption of Fe tablets and the incidence of anemia at the Penrang Community Health Center, Wajo Regency.
