Abstract

Permen Jelly Daun Kelor (Moringa Oleifera Jelly Candy) Anti Stunting is an innovative food product designed to address the issue of stunting among children in Indonesia, a country facing a significant challenge in child malnutrition. This jelly-based snack is made from moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera), a plant known for its rich nutritional profile, including high levels of vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids. The formulation leverages the functional benefits of moringa leaves, which are believed to contribute to improved growth, immune system support, and overall nutritional well-being. The product is designed to be both palatable and accessible for children, especially those in underserved communities, offering a convenient means of supplementing their diet with vital nutrients. The jelly is fortified with additional micronutrients, such as Vitamin A, Iron, and Zinc, which are critical for cognitive development, immune function, and growth. In addition, it is formulated to have a longer shelf life, ensuring widespread distribution and availability.
