Background: Phoenix dactylifera of date palm is known as a healthy food since a long time ago, because it has a high tannin content and are used medicinally proposed. One of the benefits is the capability to inhibit the growth of oral bacteria. Objectives: A clinical trial was carried out to investigate the effect of Phoenix dactylifera of date palm on mutans streptococci inhibiting the growth of the salivary mutans streptococci for a period one week consumption. Methods: Before enrolled in the study, respondents fill and signature the informed consent. Twenty respondents participated as the subjects on the clinical trial, conducting two times of treatment as follows: twenty as treatment groups before and after consuming date palm of Phoenix dactylifera and the twenty subjects as control groups before and after consuming non-date palm of Phoenix dactylifera. Saliva samples were collected before and after consuming date palm of Phoenix dactylifera and with a non-date palm of Phoenix dactylifera. A serial dilution was made, followed by inoculating on TYS20B medium (Schaeken, M.J.M, van der Hoeven, J.S and Franken, H.C.M, 1986). Data which were obtained from colony forming units of salivary mutans streptococci grew on the TYS20B medium before and after consuming date palm of Phoenix dactylifera were analyzed in a descriptive and “t”test. Results: Results showed that there is no significance in the average amount of Streptococcus mutans colonies between before and after consuming non-date palm of Phoenix dactylifera. However, a significant difference was found respectively as results before and after consuming date palm of Phoenix dactylifera. Conclusion: We concluded that date palm of Phoenix dactylifera has anti microbial activity against local strains of Streptococcus mutans isolated from human harbouring species. Therefore in a long term of consuming date palm of Phoenix dactylifera caries can be prevented.

A perspective on partially hydrolyzed protein infant formula in nonexclusively breastfed infants

Vandenplas, Yvan,Munasir, Zakiudin,Hegar, Badriul,Kumarawati, Dewi,Suryawan, Ahmad,Kadim, Muzal,Djais, Julistio Tb,Basrowi, Ray Wagiu,Krisnamurti, Deni The Korean Pediatric Society 2019 Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics (CEP) Vol.62 No.5

The World Health Organization recommends that infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life to provide optimal nutrition in this critical period of life. After this, infants should receive nutritionally adequate and safe complementary foods while breastfeeding continues for up to 2 years of age or beyond. For nonbreastfed infants, infant formula is an available option to provide the nutrition needed. Infant formula is usually prepared from industrially modified cow's milk and processed to adjust for the nutritional needs of infants. However, cow's milk is one of the most common causes of food allergy, affecting 2%-5% of all formula-fed infants during their first year of life. One strategy to prevent cow's milk allergy in nonbreastfed infants is the use of partially hydrolyzed formula (pHF) in high-risk infants, which are infants born in families with atopic disease. However, based on an epidemiological study, approximately half of the infants who develop allergy are not part of the at-risk group. This is because the non-at-risk group is significantly larger than the at-risk group and the non-at-risk infants have approximately 15% risk of developing allergies. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of partially hydrolyzed whey formula (pHF-W) in nonbreastfed infants and determine whether pHF-W can prevent atopic disease in high-risk infants and can be used as routine starter formula regardless of the allergy risk status.
