Abstract

Sweet potato, especially the purple variety, is a widely cultivated agricultural commodities known for its high antioxidant content, particularly anthocyanins and other bioactive compounds beneficial for skin health. While primarily consumed as food, sweet potatoes also hold potential for non-food applications, one of which is the production of natural-based solid soap. This study explores the potential of sweet potato extract as an active ingredient in solid soap production, evaluated through its physical, chemical, and functional properties. The method involves ethanol extraction of purple sweet potatoes, followed by a saponification process using NaOH concentrations ranging from 3.5% to 12.5%, combined with plant-based oils such as coconut oil, olive oil, and palm oil. The findings are expected to demonstrate that sweet potatoes offer more than just nutritional value, they can also serve as a natural, eco-friendly, and economically valuable component in the formulation of herbal solid soap.

Abstract

The production of liquid soap using natural raw materials such as pandan leaves and citrus fruits is an innovative effort to utilize local resources with the potential to improve the community’s economy. Pandan and citrus contain beneficial natural compounds, including distinctive aromas, antibacterial properties, and antioxidants, making them suitable ingredients for environmentally friendly personal care products. This activity aims to provide knowledge and practical skills to the community in processing natural materials into marketable liquid soap products, while also creating opportunities for small-scale household enterprises. The methods applied include raw material extraction, liquid soap formulation, as well as training in product packaging and marketing. The results indicate that liquid soap made from pandan and citrus has good quality, is safe for use, and is well accepted by consumers due to its natural ingredients and fresh fragrance. Furthermore, this activity enhances community creativity, self-reliance, and income. Therefore, the production of liquid soap based on pandan and citrus can serve as a sustainable alternative business that supports community economic development through the utilization of local potential.

Abstract

One of the most popular tourist destinations in East Java is Batu City, which had been visited by 2.4 million tourists in 2021 during the pandemic, regardless of the fact that 7.2 million tourists normally have visited the city annually before the outbreak. Flash floods that struck Batu City in November 2021 resulted in significant damage and losses which affected several tourism villages. The preparedness of Batu City for potential natural catastrophes was identified throughout this study. It is essential to think of both technological and non-technical ways as preventive measures before a tragedy arises, given how eager travelers are to visit Batu City. Several city-scale analyses are conducted, notably by doing spatial analysis with the use of GIS technology in order to understand land use and probable flow routes. A livelihood asset analysis was used as a methodological and indicator assessment of disaster preparedness in one of the Resilient Village (Destana). The findings indicate that land conversion in production and protected forest areas change into agricultural areas is one factor that triggers flash floods. After a ten-year decline, only 20% of the forest stands are left in hilly and steep terrain, with the rest being farmland and human settlements. Meanwhile, an assessment of the community preparedness in the Tourism Village reveals that the community has a strong capability in terms of financial, social, and natural capital.
