The sanitation of school canteens plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of food served to students. The level of knowledge and the implementation of food hygiene and sanitation practices by food handlers may affect food quality, which in turn is related to students’ satisfaction with canteen food. This study aims to describe the sanitation conditions of the canteen and to analyze the relationship between the food handlers’ knowledge and hygiene practices with students’ satisfaction with canteen food at Hang Tuah 1 Senior High School Jakarta. This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design, collecting data from all food handlers and a sample of students at Hang Tuah 1 Senior High School Jakarta. Sanitation assessments were conducted using observation checklists, while food handlers’ knowledge and hygiene practices were measured through structured questionnaires and observations. Student satisfaction was assessed using a validated satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests and logistic regression to determine associations and predictors. The Chi-square test showed no significant association between the food handlers’ level of knowledge and their hygiene practices (p=0.464). Additionally, there was no significant association between the food handlers’ hygiene practices and students’ satisfaction with canteen food (p=0.073). Improvements in hygiene practices and canteen facilities are more urgently needed than knowledge enhancement among food handlers to increase student satisfaction with canteen food. Strengthening monitoring, facilities, and food handlers’ compliance with hygiene standards should be prioritized in the school canteen management system.

Flexural Strength of Heat-Polymerized Acrylic Resin After Isotonic Drink Immersion

2025-09-03T20:51:05+00:00

Hot polymerized acrylic resin is the most commonly used denture base material because it has good aesthetics and is economical. However, acrylic resin has low flexural strength so it is easily broken if dropped. One factor that affects flexural strength is the food and drink consumed. Consuming acidic drinks continuously for a long period can cause a decrease in quality. One of these drinks is isotonic drinks. Isotonic drinks have a pH between 2.4 and 4.5. This content has a high solubility level, which causes the denture base to weaken in withstanding chewing loads and breaks. This study aimed to determine the effect of isotonic drinks on the flexural strength of hot polymerized acrylic resin. This study is an experimental laboratory study with twelve acrylic samples (64 × 10 × 3.3 mm) were prepared according to ISO 20795-1:2013 and divided into two groups (n = 6): one immersed in aquabidest (control) and one in an isotonic drink (pocari Sweat) for 5 days. These results the mean flexural strength of the control group was 138.83 ± 6.39 MPa, while that of the isotonic group was 126.89 ± 9.36 MPa, with a significant difference (p = 0.027). Immersion in isotonic drinks significantly reduced the flexural strength of hot polymerized acrylic resin denture bases

The use of perfume is a necessity in daily life for many individuals. Perfume compositions rely on essential oils, categorized into top, middle, and base notes, which differ based on the volatility and specific gravity of the oils used. The essential oil of medang pirawas leaves (Litsea elliptica Blume), rich in terpineol (23.36%), is known for its distinct aroma and is used in perfumes. This study aimed to evaluate the physical properties and preference levels of perfume formulations made with Litsea elliptica essential oil. The oil was extracted via steam distillation and analyzed using GC-MS. A base formula (F0) combined Litsea elliptica and lavender essential oils, with variations incorporating sweet orange (F1), lemon (F2), lime (F3), and bergamot (F4) essential oils. Physical tests included specific gravity (0.7–1.2), stain tests on tissue, HVS, and filter paper, and aroma longevity (>240 minutes). Preference tests were conducted with 30 respondents. All formulations met specific gravity standards and showed no staining. F4 was the only formulation that satisfied aroma longevity requirements, while F1 was the most preferred. Statistical analysis using SPSS 26 revealed data normality for specific gravity and aroma longevity. Paired Sample T-Tests showed significant effects of citrus essential oils on specific gravity (p = 0.01) but not on aroma longevity (p = 0.638). In conclusion, the formulations met physical property standards beside aroma longevity which only F4 excelled at and F1 being the most favored by respondents. The addition of citrus essential oils had a significant impact on the specific gravity, but not for the aroma longevity.
