AbstrakInulin merupakan bahan dasar obat yang banyak terkandung dalam umbi-umbian lokal, seperti ubi kayu/singkong (Manihot esculenta), uwi (Dioscorea spp.), ubi jalar (Ipomoea batatas), dan gembili (Dioscorea esculenta L.), yang secara luas belum diupayakan untuk diproduksi secara besar-besaran. Umbi-umbian lokal umumnya hanya dijual sebagai bahan mentah yang harganya relatif murah dan tidak dapat disimpan dalam waktu yang relatif lama. Umumnya dikonsumsi dengan cara direbus, digoreng atau diolah menjadi makanan tradisional, belum diproses menjadi produk yang lebih bermanfaat, memiliki nilai jual relatif tinggi, dan waktu penyimpanan yang relatif lebih lama. Pada kegiatan pemberdayaan masyarakat pedesaan ini telah dilakukan penyuluhan, pemberian keterampilan, dan pendampingan masyarakat dusun Krajan Wedomartani Ngemplak Sleman untuk secara mandiri mampu mengolah umbi-umbian lokal menjadi produk tepung fermentasi, tepung non fermentasi, dan ekstrak inulin. Pada kegiatan ini bahan baku yang digunakan adalah umbi singkong, uwi ungu, dan ubi jalar ungu. Proses fermentasi umbi dilakukan menggunakan jamur monascus angka atau monascus purpureus. Ekstrak inulin dilakukan dengan menggunakan pelarut alkohol. Produk tepung fermentasi dengan bahan baku umbi singkong, uwi ungu, dan ubi jalar ungu masing-masing memiliki randemen sebesar 52%, 43%, dan 40%; sedangkan ekstrak inulin memiliki randemen sesesar 7,47%, hanya saja produk inulin belum optimum bila ditinjau dari sisi warna senyawa, masih perlu dilakukan proses lanjutan untuk memperoleh produk inulin yang sesuai standar pasar.

Local tubers commonly sold as food raw material which is relatively cheap and cannot be stored for a long time. Generally, the tubers consumed by boiling, fried or processed to traditional food. It has not processed to be more valuable product, has relatively high price, and has relatively longer the storage time.

Doughnut as one of popular snack by school children. Doughnut development isneeded to improve nutritional quality and physical characteristics. Purple sweet potato as a local food with attractive calour, sweet taste and high anthocyanin can be processed for addition ingredients of doughnut. The purpose of this research was to determine contained of nutrient and acceptance of purple sweet potato doughnut as snack based on local food for school children. This experiment investigated formulation of purple sweet potato doughnut with the ratio of purple sweet potato: wheat flour 20:80 ( F1), and 30:70 (F2). Analyzed of protein nutrients with micro kjehdal, fat with soxhlet and carbohydrates with anthron. Statistical analysis of acceptance used Mann-Whitney test. The result in this study was analyzed of the nutritional value of F1 sweet purple potato doughnut very serving (40g) containing energy: 158.46 kcal, Protein: 5 g, Fat: 9.92 g, Carbohydrates: 12.34 g and F2 energy: 169.51 kcal, Protein: 7.5 g, Fat: 11.32 g, Carbohydrates: 9.4 g. The acceptance test was performed no differences in color, texture, taste and aroma in the two purple sweet potato donuts formulas (p≥0.05). The energy content of F2 can contributed 10.27% energy need of school children.Keyword : children school, doughnut, local food, sweet purple potato

<p>Liver is an organ with complex metabolism. When the liver is inflamed, cellular immunity will defend against inflammatory agents by stimulating immune cells to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excessive ROS accumulation cause oxydative stress with increased  liver malondialdehyde (MDA) level. Some researches showed that purple sweet potato contain flavonoids (anthocyanins) that functioned as antioxydants. This study aimed to show the prophylactic effect of purple sweet potato extract to the liver MDA level of male Wistar rats induced by carrageenan.</p><p>This study used post-only control group method using 18 male Wistar rats divided into 3 groups: group of rats without treatment, group of rats induced by 0,1 ml of 1% carrageenan by intraplantar injection on day-8, and group of rats given with 872 mg/kgBW of purple sweet potato extract for 7 days and induced by 0,1 ml of 1% carrageenan. In the end of the study, the liver MDA levels were measured by Thio-Barbituric Acid method on each groups.</p><p>The results of One-Way ANOVA test showed there was no significant difference (p = 0,290) between group of rats without treatment (<em>x̅</em>= 207,50) and group of rats induced by carrageenan (<em>x̅</em>=233,17). Then, there is no significant difference (p = 0.978) between group of rats induced by carrageenan and group of rats given with prophylactic purple sweet potato extract and induced by carrageenan (<em>x̅</em>= 232,50).</p><p>The conclusion of this study is giving intraplantar injection of carrageenan can increase liver MDA level insignificantly and giving prophylactic purple sweet potato extract has an effect to decrease the liver MDA level of rats induced by carragenan insignificantly because it contains anthocyanins as antioxidants.</p><p> </p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Liver, <em>Ipomoea batatas</em> L., Malondialdehyde, Anthocyanins

<em>Sweet potato is an important staple food crop especially for the local people of Central Highlands Jayawijaya. There are many accessions that have always been maintained its existence to enrich their various uses. Traditionally, sweet potato accessions were grouped based on the utilization, such as for animal feed, cultural ceremonies, consumption for adults, as well as for infants and children. This study was aimed to analyze the nutritional value of sweet potatoes consumed by infants and children of the Dani tribe. Chemical analyses were conducted at the Laboratory of Post-Harvest Research and Development Center, Cimanggu, Bogor. The results showed that each of 4 (four) sweet potato accessions which were consumed by infants and children had good nutrient levels. Accession Sabe showed the highest water content (72.56%), vitamin C (72.71 mg/100 g), Fe (11.85 mg/100 g), and K levels (130.41 mg / 100 grams). The highest levels of protein (1.44%), fat (1.00%), energy (154.43 kkal/100 gram), carbohydrate (35.47%), starch (30.26%), reducing sugar (3.44%), riboflavin (0.18 mg/100 g), and vitamin A (574.40 grams IU/100 were produced by accession Manis. On the other hand, accession Saborok produced the highest value for ash content (1.32%), vitamin E (28.30 mg/100 g), and ?-carotene (64.69 ppm). The highest level of crude fiber (1.81 %) and thiamin (0.36 mg/100 g) was produced by accession Yuaiken.</em>

The browning of white adipocytes, which transforms energy-storing white adipocytes to heat-producing beige adipocytes, is considered a strategy against metabolic diseases. Several dietary compounds, such as anthocyanins, flavonoids, and phenolic acids, induce a brown adipocyte-like phenotype in white adipocytes. In this study, we demonstrated that purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) extract (PSP) exhibited potent radical scavenging activity. In addition, PSP was found to contain large amounts of phenolic, flavonoid, and anthocyanin compounds; the amount of these compounds was affected by fermentation. Functionally, PSP-induced adipose browning in high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. The administration of PSP significantly suppressed the body weight gain and abnormal expansion of white adipose tissues in the obese mice. The expression of adipose browning-related genes was higher in the inguinal white adipose tissues from the PSP-treated mice than those in the HFD-fed mice. Moreover, PSP-treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes formed multilocular lipid droplets, similar to those formed in the 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated with a browning induction cocktail. The PSP-treated cells had an increased expression level of mitochondria and lipolysis-related genes. The browning effects of PSP were enhanced by fermentation with Lactobacillus. This study, to our knowledge, is the first to identify a new mechanism to increase the antiobesity effects of PSP by inducing adipocyte browning of adipocytes.
