The delegation of IPB University won an award in an international conference held by the International School of Business and Research (ISBR) Business School. In the event that took place in Bangalore, India, one of the delegation teams managed to come out as the best presenter / paper for the health sector.

Ade Prastio, a member of the IPB University delegation who won the award, presented research on the effects of various processing methods on protein content and quality in undis beans (Cajanus cajan). The research results he presented received a very good assessment and were highly appreciated by the reviewers.
“Beans are widely consumed as a source of protein. However, in-depth research on the quality of protein from these beans is still not much done, especially on undis beans which are typical beans from Bali Island, Indonesia,” said Ade, a student of IPB University from the Nutrition Science Study Program.
Research in the health sector was also delivered by other IPB University researchers, Muhammad Aries, SP, MSi. In the conference, the lecturer of Nutrition Science of IPB University presented the results of a study on the relationship between iron folate intake and the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls in Cirebon Regency.
“The research results show that low intake of iron folate is one of the causes of the high prevalence of anemia. This then causes their fitness level to be poor,” he explained.

They came from three Asian countries (Indonesia, India and Sri Lanka).
