Food Technology of UAD to Focus on Local Wisdom

/in /by

 

Food is a basic need that must be met for human survival. The problem is, not all foods have nutrition that is good for health. In fact, many of them tend to have substances that have a negative impact on our health. Many factors determine whether foods are good for consumption or not. Two of them are the raw materials and the processing methods.

Referring to these two things, Food Technology Study Program of Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) Yogyakarta places local wisdom as one of the main focuses in food engineering. Ika Dyah Kumalasari, Ph.D., the Chairperson of Food Technology Study Program explained that there were three things that became the focus of the study program. They were for foods to be local, halal, and functional.

"Indonesia, as a tropical country, has abundant food ingredients. Therefore, we teach students about the basic ingredients and processing methods based on local wisdom. The aim is to raise Indonesia's local potential so that it is known to the public," she explained when interviewed at campus 3 of UAD on Monday (3/9/2018).

In addition, Food Technology Study Program also conducts a lot of research and community service related to potential of foods. Those activities are conducted to educate the public so as not to depend on instant and foreign food products.

"We do research on the basic ingredients of local food, starting from nutritional contents to processing methods so that the substances contained in them are not damaged. Food engineering innovations based on local wisdom must continue to be developed to make Indonesia a food-independent country," she said.

Ika added that many of the basic ingredients for local food had not been explored, for example the basic ingredients from tubers, nuts, to fruits and vegetables. According to her, local food ingredients needed to be popularized to avoid them become extinct. In terms of nutrition, food ingredients from Indonesia have good benefits for the body.

"Food Technology Study Program of UAD sees market opportunities from local wisdom. We want to develop a variety of internationally standardized Indonesian food products that have a high-selling value. Therefore, they can be exported in order to introduce authentic Indonesian food."

/in /by

 

Ahmad Dahlan Alumni Association of Faculty of Pharmacy (Kamada Farmasi) in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) established a medical center for victims of the earthquake in Lombok. The post was established in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine (FK) of Universitas Mataram (UNRAM).

From the explanation from Dzun Haryadi Ittiqo, M.Sc., Apt., the Chairman of Kamada Farmasi of NTB, a post was established to provide medical access for earthquake victims. "Disasters give us many lessons, including increased solidarity and caring for others. It aso builds a sense of empathy, and sympathy in the community," he explained.

 

He, who is also a lecturer at Universitas Muhammadiyah Mataram added that a lot of knowledge learned while being a student could be implemented in the community, especially in disaster locations. He and his team moved from one place to another to facilitate medical access.

 

In providing services to the community, it is emphasized to always be patient, smile, and friendly, so that the victims feel like they have found new relatives at the refuge center. "Both academic and non-academic knowledge that I got while studying at UAD are useful and can be applied at disaster locations," said the man who was also active at Regional Executive Board of Indonesian Pharmacist Association (PD IAI) of NTB.

 

According to his statement, pharmaceutical workers could not intervene with the disease examination, so they needed to cooperate with FK of UNRAM. The problems they faced while at the disaster site were the limited drug logistics and the difficult access that made it difficult for them to reach isolated places. Currently, Dzun and Kamada Farmasi of UAD still continue to provide health services for the earthquake victims in Lombok. (ard)

In the second batch of P2K, there was a general lecture presented by the Deputy Chairperson of the Higher Education, Research and Development Council (Diktilitbang) of Muhammadiyah Central Board (PP Muhammadiyah), Dr. Chairil Anwar. Chairil delivered a public lecture in accordance with the theme of P2K, which was "Together with UAD, We Increase the Leadership Spirit to Strengthen Togetherness and Diversity in the Millennial Era".

"Those who are included in the Millennial generation is those who become an adult in the 21st century. One of the characteristics of the millenial generation is their dependence on technology, such as devices and social media. "The millennial era is close to the industrial revolution 4.0 with more solitary people," he explained to students at the Islamic Center Mosque of UAD at campus 4 on Jln. Ringroad Selatan, Tamanan, Bantul, Yogyakarta.

According to him, what was needed by the younger generation today was the spirit of togetherness, realizing that you yourself were a part of the Indonesian nation. Living in the millennial era, we also needed leadership spirit.

In addition, Chairil also talked about the potential of millennial students to engage in politics. Therefore, the learning must start from joining student organizations at campus.

"Join an organization to improve leadership spirit. In the future, plunging into politics can be a good opportunity. It is proven by the large number of young people who are currently members of political parties," he said.

In line with Chairil, UAD Vice Rector III, Dr. Abdul Fadlil, M.T., said that UAD students were given freedom of politics on campus. "In UAD, there is Pemilwa (Student Election), student KPU, there is also a party system. This can be a means to practice democracy and improve leadership spirit," he said.

On the other hand, Dr. Kasiyarno, M.Hum., expressed his expectation that the Dahlan Muda had a critical, creative, collaborative spirit. This is so that students can compete in the millennial era which is an era with a high competition. According to him, students had to be active in on and off campus activities to optimize their skills and potentials. (ard)
