UNAIR NEWS – The rapid changes of time and technology advancement simplify people to do activities. Furthermore, many things have changed due to technological advances such as diet and lifestyle of people.

Fast food which poses bad effect for health is currently popular. But for Maryam Jamilah and the team, not all fast food has no health value.

“For example burgers, in the burger, there is bread, vegetables, meat, cheese, and mayonnaise. Burger is also fast food and it has a lot of nutritional content, “said Maryam, head of PKM-K team.

Maryam also added that in the burger, there are some contents such as bread containing carbohydrates, vegetables that act as vitamins and minerals. In addition there is also beef rich in animal protein that is useful for building tissues in the body.

“Iron is also abundant in meat, so the formation of red blood cells will be more optimal. In essence this burger is rich in nutrients, ” she said.

Knowing the good nutritional content and the price of meat that continues to rise, consumers or burger lovers have to spend more money if they want to enjoy a burger. Therefore, Maryam with Fedora Ivena Thom, Fanti Septia Nabilla, Annisa Nurul, and Shulkhiatus Syafa’ah, innovate to make a burger by using snakehead murrel meat instead of beef.

“In addition to cheaper snakehead fish prices, nutritional content is not less great than beef,” she added.

Although it is replaced with snakehead murrel fish, the burgers still have bread, vegetables, and cheeses, and packaged in attractive packaging, and importantly affordable with more nutrients than meat burgers.

“The difference is this snakehead murrel fish burgers are not high in fat and protein content, especially high albumin, it is good for muscle formation and growth, good for wound healing, and easy to digest to be healthy for digestion,” said Maryam.

At the end, Maryam also said that the burger she offered with the team was the original burger without any cheese.

“Because cheese including high-calorie foods and our burgers is a small portion of burgers which of course the nutritional content is appropriate,” she concluded.
