Stunting is a condition of impaired growth due to a long-term deficiency of nutrients, particularly energy and protein, characterized by a height that is below the standard for age. The selection of diverse and appropriate food ingredients is a crucial factor in meeting the nutritional needs of toddlers to support optimal growth and development. This study aimed to evaluate the acceptability of chicken tofu roulade with the substitution of dangke (a traditional cheese-like product) and carrots. The research was a pre-experimental study using a post-test only group design, involving 38 panelists , who were employees of the UPT RSUD Massenrempulu Enrekang . The Kruskal- Wallis test showed that there was no significant difference in the acceptability among the different roulade formulas (p > 0.05). The most preferred formula was Formula 123, which contained 150 grams of dangke and 50 grams of carrot. This formula was characterized by a pale yellowish-white color , a savory taste with a milky aroma, and a soft yet chewy texture.

Bronchopneumonia and atopic dermatitis due to cow's milk allergy are common comorbidities in children with severe malnutrition. These conditions increase the risk of morbidity and mortality by impairing dietary intake and metabolism. The Nutrition Care Process (NCP) provides a structured approach to identify and address nutritional issues in such complex cases. This descriptive case study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of NCP in improving nutrient intake and Clinical outcomes were reduced fever and shortness of breath. The study was conducted in the PICU of Dr. Tajuddin Chalid Hospital, Makassar, from April 8–12, 2025, involving a 1-year-old male patient. Nutritional assessment included anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, and dietary intake parameters. Intervention consisted of a high-energy, high-protein liquid diet administered via nasogastric tube in a staged manner. Results showed a weight gain of 200 grams and significant improvements in energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamin, and mineral intake. Clinical improvements were also observed, including reduced fever and shortness of breath. Although the nutritional status remained in the category of malnutrition, the integrated implementation of NCP proved effective in enhancing nutrient intake and stabilizing clinical condition. Personalized nutritional strategies and caregiver education on food allergy management are essential in treating pediatric patients with complex medical and nutritional needs
