This study aimed to determine the best formulation of a Snack Bar made from freeze-dried black glutinous rice tape flour, mocaf flour, and almond flour, and to evaluate its organoleptic properties (color, aroma, taste, texture), anthocyanin content, antioxidant activity, and fiber content as an alternative solution for individuals with Type 2 DM. The study was conducted experimentally using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) at Poltekkes Kemenkes Padang. Three formulations were tested organoleptically by panelists and analyzed in the laboratory for nutritional content. The results showed that the best formulation was F3 (20g black glutinous rice tape, 60g mocaf, 20g almond) with 84% panelist acceptance. Proximate analysis showed ash content of 1.18%, moisture 35.9%, protein 10.5%, fat 12.05%, carbohydrates 40.26%, fiber 2.15%, and anthocyanin 0.3 mg. It is concluded that the Snack Bar made from black glutinous rice tape, mocaf, and almond has potential as a functional food for people with DM. Further research is recommended to assess storage stability and conduct clinical trials for its effectiveness in controlling blood sugar levels.

The availability of an adequate number of qualified nutrition experts is a supporting factor for the success of nutrition programs and health transformation. The research aims to analyze the relationship between job suitability of nutrition professionals, education level, participation in training, and the competence of nutrition experts in relation to the nutritional status (prevalence of stunting) in West Sumatra, Indonesia. The study was conducted using a cross-sectional design, with a sample size of 698 nutrition professionals working in 16 districts/cities in West Sumatra. Data were collected through a questionnaire in Google Form format. This study revealed that 35.6% of nutrition professionals did not possess an active registration certificate. Around 43.9% had only completed a three-year diploma program, and 13.7% were not working in accordance with their profession. Approximately 65% of nutrition experts had not received training related to their authority, and 76.3% did not possess relevant competency certification to support their performance. There was a significant relationship between the number of nutrition professionals working in accordance with their profession, participation in training, and competency certification with the occurrence of stunting (p<0.05). The conclusion is that the higher the number of nutrition professionals working in accordance with their profession, trained, and competent, the lower the prevalence of stunting in the area. Policy measures and efforts are needed to meet the needs of nutrition experts in terms of quantity and quality in order to strengthen nutrition programs and improve the level of health in West Sumatra.
