Abstract:
In present days, information about the influence of what we eat on our health comes in many forms and from many sources, and its reliability varies enormously. Latter may depend on the source of information’s interests and motivations. Governmental bodies may provide food-based dietary guidelines and recommend levels of nutrient intakes. History may show examples of certain industries and politics having had their influence on e.g. the advocating of dairy, or vegetables & fruits; nevertheless their information will be mostly objective and minimally biased. Dieticians and medical doctors have patients’ best interests at heart and will advise accordingly. At times, however, the influence of marketing of e.g. supplements and medical foods may escape the required dose of scrutiny - combined with a health care professional’s eagerness to be “seen to be doing something”, partly because certain patients expect and demand this. Food companies can exist only by virtue of the fact that they can sell the foods they produce. It is unavoidable and to be expected that anyone selling a product will be more vocal when it comes to good, rather than about bad news about his or her product. It is prudent to bear this in mind when considering food producers’ information. To further protect consumers from being misled, many countries have established rules for e.g. nutrition & health claims, corresponding to, respectively, what is in the food, and what it does. The liberty that writers of e.g. diet books have very different from the tight regulation of what food companies can say about their products. To my knowledge, and unlike it is the case for producers of foods, no laws impose, on authors who want to sell their books, that what they write needs to be truthful and meaningful.
NB: This presentation will provide insights and observations gathered over a several decades of working in a variety of fields of nutrition. Even though objectivity is sought throughout, some presenter’s subjectivity cannot be fully excluded.

Title: Effect of Aspergillus niger fermented rice bran on quality of pig product to ensure food security
Biography:
Selvie D Anis is a Lecturer at Faculty of Animal Science, University of Sam Ratulangi, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. She has completed her Doctor degree from Bogor Agriculture Institute.
Abstract:
Rice bran as agricultural waste available abundantly and as major component in pig ration, but this material has a high content of phytic acid as inhibitor of phosphorus metabolism. The objectives of this research was to study the effects of rice bran fermented with Aspergillus niger fungus on back fat thickness, meat cholesterol content, bone hardness degree and feed efficiency. Sixteen castrated pigs of Chaster White at12-week-old with live weight of between 32-44 Kg, put in individual cages. The treatments were R1 = 40% rice bran non fermented, R2 = 40% rice bran fermented 2 days, R3 = 40% rice bran fermented 4 days, R4 = 40% rice bran fermented 6 days. Treatment was given to 4 groups of pigs with different body weight each B1 = 32 Kg; B2 = 36 Kg; B3 = 40 Kg; B4 = 44 Kg. The experimental design used was Randomized Block Design. The variables measured were back fat thick, meat cholesterol content, bone hardness degree and feed efficiency. The results shows that utilization of fermented rice bran along 6 days (R4) has back fat thick and meat cholesterol content significant (P<0,05) lower than the other treatments. On the other hand treatment R4 has bone hardness and feed efficiency significant better (P<0,05) compared to the other treatments. Based on this results it can be concluded that utilization of 40% of rice bran fermented along 6 days with Aspergillus niger were able to improved feed efficiency and quality product of meat for human health.

Abstract:
Folate deficiency has been found to be associated with congenital birth defects like spina bifida, anencephaly, etc. Pregnant women have an increased need for folic acid (600 mg/day) to support the growth of the placenta and foetus and prevent birth defects. Present study was conducted to assess deficiency of serum folate among pregnant women and its epidemiological determinants. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Doiwala block of Uttarakhand state, a hilly state of the country, and a total of 95 pregnant women participated. Pregnant women were randomly selected from antenatal clinics organized at sub-centers and primary health centers. Blood samples were analyzed for serum folate by competitive immunoassay using direct chemiluminescent technology. Fully automated ADVIA Centaur XP Immunoassay system was used for analysis.
Analysis of data showed that mean serum folate level among pregnant women was 10.1 _ 5.9 ng/ml (95% confidence interval 8.9–11.2). As per World Health Organization cut-off levels, a total of 28 (29.4%), 95% CI (20.2–38.5), women were having folate deficiency (≤5.9 ng/ ml), and out of them 3 were having folate levels below 3 ng/ml (severe folate deficiency). 9 (9.4%) women had elevated levels (>20 ng/ml). 57 (60%) women were in the normal range (6–20 ng/ml). Out of various biosocial determinants considered, education and economic status have shown significant association with folate deficiency. A significant difference was observed in the mean serum folate level among pregnant women living in joint and nuclear type of family. Mean serum folate levels showed a slight negative correlation with body mass index (Spearman's rho = _0.22, p = 0.03900) and gestational age (correlation coefficient: r = _0.26, p = 0.009).
Study findings reveal that high level of folate deficiency (29.4%) is prevalent among pregnant women. Education, type of family, economic status and BMI came out to be important determinants of folate deficiency. These identi- fied determinants could be considered while planning comprehensive strategy for reduction of folate deficiency.

Abstract:
Blood lipid profile such as triglyceride, LDL, HDL and cholesterol total play an importan role on native chicken meat quality. The high or low blood lipid profile can be manipulate by diet. The aims of this research was to evaluate the utilization of manure degraded by Hermetia illucens L in diet on blood lipid profile of native chicken. One hundred birds four months of age were allocated into 4 teatments and 5 replications. The treatment were R1 : diet 15% fish meal + 0% manure degraded meal, R2 : diet 10% fish meal + 5% manure degraded meal, R3 : diet 5% fish meal + 10% manure degraded meal and R4 : diet 0% fish meal + 15% manure degraded meal. Data were analysed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) according to Completely Randomized Design and followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. Feed and water were given ad libitum. Variables measured were : triglyceride, LDL, HDL and Cholesterol total. The results showed that R3 treatment significant (P<0.05) lower in triglyceride ( 47,15 -59,66 mg/dl), LDL ( 45,68 – 81,06 mg/dl), cholesterol total (124,98 -155,97 mg/dl) compared with other treatment. On the other hand R3 treatment has a significant higher content of HDL (75,85 – 86,28 mg/dl) compared to other treatment by utilization of manure degraded meal in diet. It can be concluded that utilization of manure degraded by Hermetia illucenseL meal can be used up to 10% in diet to ensure the quality meat of native chicken.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to analyze the effect of flavonoid papaya seed (carica papaya L) in the organic feed on egg quality and egg shell of local chickens hens. This study used 100 local chickens hens. The research used experimental methods. The design was used in this study was completely ransomized design (CRD) With 5 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments in this study consisted of P0 : based diet (BD) + 0 % organic feed with papaya seed (OFPS), P1 : Based diet (BD) 99.5 % + 0.5 % (OFPS),P2 : BD 99 % + 1 % (OFPS), P3 : BD 98 % + 2 % (OFPS), P4 : BD 97,5 + 2,5 % (OFPS). The variables measured were egg weight (g/egg), egg albumen weight (g/egg), egg yolk, egg yolk weight (g/egg),egg shell thickness (mm), egg protein (%), egg fat (%), egg cholesterol (mg/100g), egg shell calsium (%) and egg shell phosphor (%) contens of local chickens hens. The data was analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA), when there was a significant effect, further tested by Least Significant Difference (LCD). Based on the research, it can be concluded the effect of flavonoid papaya seeds in the organic feed on egg quality and egg shell of local chickens hens as much as 0.5 – 2.5 percent have significant effect ( P < 0.01) on the egg weight, egg albumen, egg yolk , egg yolk weight, egg shell weight, egg shell thickness, egg protein, egg fat , egg cholesterol, egg shell kalsium, egg shell phosphor content of local chickens hens. It can be that the use of OFPS in diet up to 2.5 % could improved egg quality and egg shell of local chickens hens.
