USU PHARMACY PR - USU Faculty of Pharmacy lecturers carried out community service activities at the Pauly Mandiri Education Foundation, Buntu Bedimbar Village, Tanjung Morawa District, on Friday (12/8). The community service activity based on the mandatory professor service was chaired by Prof. Dr. Siti Morin Sinaga, M.Sc., Apt., with members Prof. Dr. Jansen Silalahi, M.App.Sc., Apt., and Dr. Henni Cintya, S.Si., along with several students of the USU Faculty of Pharmacy.
The socialization of yogurt making using Lactobacillus fermentum bacterial isolate from dekke naniura received a positive response from the students and accompanying teachers. The students looked very interested and showed their curiosity about the socialization. Prof. Dr. Siti Morin Sinaga, M.Sc., Apt. explained, "When there is an imbalance in the number of microorganisms in a child's gastrointestinal tract, it can cause local infections and inflammation in the intestines, cause systemic abnormalities including impaired absorption of nutrients, metabolic disorders, and cause symptoms of various diseases in the body. Therefore, intake that contains probiotics is needed, especially in the digestive tract. One of them is by consuming yogurt. Yogurt is a fermented beverage from whole milk produced using cow's milk or milk products with the addition of yogurt starter, namely Lactobacillus fermentum bacteria isolated from dekke naniura."
"Dekke naniura is a traditional Toba Batak dish that is generally made using carp. The principle of making dekke naniura is to soak the fish in tamarind water until the meat is tender and can be eaten without cooking," the team leader explained. "Spices in making dekke naniura such as andaliman and kecombrang are used to add flavor to the dish. The process and ingredients of making dekke naniura allow lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium (which are sources of probiotics) to develop," said team member Dr. Henni Cintya, S.Si.
The team hopes that this community service activity can provide information and broaden insights and understanding that dekke naniura contains Lactobacillus fermentum, a probiotic that is used to make yogurt drinks that are useful for health.
The Chairperson of the Yayasan Pauly Mandiri, Dr. Panigoran Siburian, M.Pd., thanked the team for the implementation of this service activity. He really appreciates activities that can add insight to children and accompanying teachers that probiotics are good for the body, such as this yogurt produced. He also hopes that in the future activities like this can be carried out on an ongoing basis.
