ABSTRACT
sIgA LACTOFERRIN LEVEL IN BREAST MILK
Breast milk offers innumerable immunological components that are important for reduction of infant morbidity and mortality. Breast milk protects against infections in breastfed newborns mainly via secretory IgA (sIgA) antibodies, but also most likely via several other factors such as the bactericidal lactoferrin. The purpose of this article is to determine the levels of sIgA and lactoferrin of breast milk from Indonesian women in Pandeglang. sIgA and lactoferrin in breast milk were measured cross-sectionally in postpartum women between lactation days 14 - 28 using ELISA. Results showed that the mean level of sIgA from 137 breast milk samples was 2.11 ± 3.5 mg/ml and that of lactoferrin from 138 samples was 3.73±4.05 mg/ml. The mean levels of sIgA and lactoferrin in this group are lower when compared with other published values.

ABSTRACT
EFFECT OF THE VITAMIN C SUPLEMENTATION TOWARD MULTI VITAMIN-MINERAL ON THE STATUS OF NUTRITIONAL ANTIOXIDANT IN WOMAN WORKERS
Micronutrients, both vitamins and minerals are needed by the body in limited quantities, but their role is essential to the body. To fulfill vitamin and mineral requirements, consumption of variant and balanced diet is needed because most vitamins and minerals are not produced by our body. Food supplements can be a good alternative in providing sufficient amount of micronutrient if intake from dietary sources are not enough. This research was intended to analyse the effect of multi vitamin-mineral (MVM) supplementation compared to a single nutrient supplementation (Vit C 1000 mg) on dietary antioxidant status. It was conducted on Februari 2008 and the design of this research was a double blind randomized controlled trial. There were 92 samples aged 20-45 years old, healthy (physically and clinically), did not consume alcohol, did not smoke and were willing to partipate in the research. Multi vitamin-mineral supplementation increased serum concentration of vitamin E and superoxide dismutase (SOD) significantly(p<0.05), while single supplementation of vitamin C 1000 mg improved only vitamin C status. Suplementation of multi vitamin-mineral reduced free radicals by improving superoxide dismutase (SOD) status.

ABSTRACT
COMPLEMENTARY FOOD DEVELOPMENT BASED ON PUPAE-MULBERRY (PURY)
Proper complementary feeding are well recognized as necessary to ensure optimal growth and development during the early years, however are often inadequate in energy density, protein and micronutrient concentration. The aim of the study is to develop pury-formula complementary foods for infant aged 6-9 moths and to analyze nutrition quality and food safety. A silkworm pupae was a major constituents used as materials which was processed to be a fine powder, called “PURY”. Methods: mix all ingredients consist of 16.6% red rice flour, 16.6% tempe powder, 16.6% formula milk powder, 25% fine sugar cane and 25% pury. Results and finding: Per 100 g Pury-formula contain 426 kcal energy, 20.0% protein, 11.2% fat included linoleat and linolenat; vitamin A,E, B groups and mineral such as Fe, Ca, Zinc, Iodine and Se. Conclusion: Pury-formula complementary food is better than commercial product and as well as Health Department guidance. It has a well balanced amount of energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat included long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) that are essential for the brain and optimal growth of infants. Recommendation: Pury-formula can be an alternate nutritious complementary food for infants undernourished.

ABSTRACT
THE EFFECT OF MULTIVITAMIN MINERAL SUPPLEMENTATION
ON NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND HEALTHUse of multivitamin mineral (MVM) supplement has grown rapidly over the past several decades. According to several studies, supplement users tend to have higher micronutrient intakes from their diet than nonusers. Consequently, they have an increased intake but are also more likely to exceed the upper level. The study was aimed to analyze the effect of MVM supplementation on renal function through the double blind randomized controlled trial. Subjects were 93 of the female workers in PT Ricky Putra Globalindo Tbk, Citeureup, Bogor who were randomly allocated to three treatments. The first received only placebo (without vitamin C and MVM); the second received 1000 mg vitamin C; and the third received MVM supplement that contains 1000 mg vitamin C, 45 mg vitamin E, 700 mg vitamin A, 6,5 mg vitamin B6, 400 mg folic acid, 9,6 mg vitamin B12, 10 mg vitamin D, 10 mg Zn, 110 mg Se, 0,9 mg Cu, and 5 mg Fe. The supplements were distributed and consumed daily during 10 weeks. The mean change before and after study were tested with t paired test. The results showed the BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, urea and creatinine blood serum were not significantly different before and after study (p>0,05). The distribution of female workers based on BMI showed that more than half of them have normal nutritional status (BMI 18,5-24,9 kg/m2). The distribution based on systolic and diastolic blood pressure showed that most of them were not hypertension (systolic <140 mmHg, diastolic <90 mmHg); and the distribution based on urea and creatinine showed that most of them have normal status (urea 8,0-25,0 mg/dl; creatinine 0,6-1,5 mg/dl).
Keywords: food supplement, BMI, blood pressure, urea, creatinine.
