ABSTRAK

Tiga buah sekolah rendah yang mempunyai corak pengendalian makanan yang berbeza di Kuala Selangor telah dipilih untuk kajian. Semua contoh makanan yang disediakan semasa lima hari persekolahan telah diambil dan dianalisa kandungan kalori, protein, lemak dan karbohidrat. Kebanyakan daripada makanan yang disediakan adalah berasaskan nasi seperti nasi lemak, nasi ayam, mee dan kuih-­kuih tradisional. Kandungan kalori dan protein per hidangan makanan adalah masing-masing di antara julat 77-274 kcal dan 0.9-3.6 g. Makanan yang disediakan di bawah Rancangan Makanan Tambahan mengandungi kalori yang lebih tinggi berbanding dengan makanan yang dijual di kantin sekolah. Walau bagaimanapun kandungan protein dan kalori masih rendah berbanding dengan yang disarankan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia, yang mana berdasarkan menu sepatutnya menyediakan sekurang-kurangnya 10 g protein dan 290-390 kcal. Peratus sumbangan tenaga daripada protein di dalam makanan yang disediakan di kantin sekolah juga adalah lebih rendah daripada yang disarankan.

ABSTRACT

Three primary schools with three different food service managements in Kuala Selangor were seleted for this study. Food samples served for five school days were taken and analysed for calories, protein, fat and carbohydrate. It was observed that most of the food served were rice-based such as nasi lemak, chicken rice, noodles and traditional cakes. The amount of calories and protein per serving ranged from 77-274 kcal and 0.9-3.6 g respectively. Food served under the Supplementary School Feeding Programme contained higher calories than those sold by these school canteens. However, the amounts of protein and calories were still short of the expected amounts recommended by the Ministry of Education, which acccording to menu should provide at least 10 g protein and 290-390 kcal. The percentage contributions of energy from protein in foods served at school canteens were also lower than the recommended.
