Abstract

Kepanjenlor Village, Blitar City, has abundant agricultural potential in bananas, which are relatively inexpensive and non-seasonal. This condition necessitates innovation to increase the added value of bananas to build economic independence. This community service activity aimed to create new business opportunities for the women of the Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) program through training in diversified banana processing. The method applied was training and mentoring using appropriate, functional food-based technology. The training covered processing banana fruit into plantain flour as a wheat alternative, and processing banana peels into innovative coffee powder. Evaluation results showed a significant improvement in participants' skills, with 90% of participants succeeding in making plantain flour and 85% succeeding in making the coffee powder. This training proved effective in enhancing the skills and potential for economic independence within the community through functional food products based on local resources.

Abstract

Starfruit is a primary commodity in Kepanjenlor Village, Blitar Regency, yet its utilization remains suboptimal as it is predominantly sold in its fresh form. This situation results in a harvest surplus that drives down market prices. This community service project aims to introduce functional food innovation by transforming starfruit into kombucha tea for local PKK (Family Welfare Movement) members to enhance its economic value. The methods employed include technical training, mentoring, as well as monitoring and evaluation. The results demonstrated a significant 75% increase in participants' skills in processing starfruit into kombucha. Additionally, 95% of participants expressed a strong interest in producing and marketing the product independently and demonstrated a clear understanding of its health benefits. This program successfully strengthened the entrepreneurial capacity of the PKK members by leveraging local potential through functional food innovation.
