Abstract

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), particularly those managed by women in rural areas, play a crucial role in supporting family and local economies. However, this potential is often hampered by limited access to technology and understanding of modern business management. The Ruhama women's group in Simpang Kapuak Village, Mungka District, faces similar challenges in its local gambir tea production business. This community service program aims to address these obstacles through strategic interventions in digital marketing and financial management. Implementation methods include outreach, theoretical training, and intensive practical mentoring. The activity stages are systematically designed, starting with needs analysis and program implementation, and ending with impact evaluation, measured by increasing empowerment levels. The results demonstrate significant improvements in digital literacy and financial management skills among participants. 85% of participants are able to create promotional content for products on social media, and 92% understand the basic concepts of simple financial record keeping. Close collaboration with the village government also strengthens program synergy, aligning with the regional development vision. The program has not only succeeded in improving technical capacity but also fostering an entrepreneurial spirit and independence, which are essential foundations for the economic sustainability of local communities.

Abstract

Mungka District in Lima Puluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra, is one of the main centers of gambier production that generates a large amount of solid waste from the leaf pressing process. This waste had previously been unmanaged and posed an environmental pollution risk. This community service program aimed to implement bio drying technology based on eco enzym as an environmentally friendly solution to convert gambier pressing waste into value-added organic compost. The program was carried out collaboratively with the Bunga Gambir Farmers Group through training, demonstration, and field mentoring. The partners successfully produced eco enzym from household organic materials and applied it in the bio drying process. The activity resulted in a reduction of waste volume and moisture content by up to 70%, a color change to dark brown, odor reduction, and the formation of semi-mature compost with crumbly texture and no unpleasant odor. The compost product is currently being matured and evaluated for quality before field application. This program improved the knowledge, technical skills, and awareness of the farmers in sustainable waste management and established a practical model for eco enzym–based gambier waste processing that can be replicated in other rural communities.

Abstract

Plastic is a commonly used packaging material due to its cheap and wide availability, especially in the food industry. However, plastic is non-biodegradable, leading to a serious problem to the environment from its widespread use. Using starch-based edible films as an alternative to plastic packaging offers a solution to this problem. As opposed to conventional methods of starch extraction for edibles, modern methods such as microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) can improve the functional properties of starchThis research aimed to determine the physicochemical properties of edible films from starch extracted through MAE. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with three treatments based on the amount of added starch, namely, Treatment A (3%), Treatment B (4%), and Treatment C (5%). The results from these treatments were compared against control (without MAE). Observations were conducted in triplicate, including parameters such as solubility, thickness, water holding capacity (WHC), oil holding capacity (OHC), and water content. Treatment A (3%) was found to be the best treatment, with a solubility of 76.55%, a thickness of 0.243 mm, a WHC of 38.56%, an OHC of 36.67%, and a water content of 13.79%.
