The Need for Nutrient Density Profiling
• Nutrient density measures the concentration of essential nutrients 
per calorie in food 
• Rising demand for health-focused, functional, and clean-label 
products
• Indonesian diets often show imbalances in micronutrient intake
• Hidden hunger (micronutrient deficiency) remains a major challenge
• Need for scientific evaluation beyond calories and macronutrients
Challenges in Indonesian Nutrition 
Landscape
• High reliance on energy-dense staple foods like rice
• Lower consumption of fruits, vegetables, and nutrient-rich foods 
• Deficiencies in key nutrients:
       Iron (Fe)
       Zinc (Zn)
       Vitamin A
• Lack of structured nutrition intelligence frameworks
• Difficulty in aligning products with RDA-based nutritional targets
