Abstract

Kerupuk Kamang Dua Saudara is one of the MSMEs that produces kamang crackers. However, sales are only made to middlemen without a logo and proper packaging, so it does not have competitive advantages. This community service aims to solve problems in three aspects, namely the production aspect (increasing the amount of production and the use of technology in the form of cassava grinding machines), the marketing aspect (use of social media), and the managerial aspect (discipline in SOP production and financial management). To solve the problems partners face, the approach can be categorized into a community service method based on integrated solutions through socialization, training, mentoring, and application of technology. Product innovation and digital marketing are important steps to increase business competitiveness. This community service positively impacts the UMKM Kerupuk Kamang Dua Saudara through increased production, digital marketing, and business management. Service to partners has succeeded in increasing production capacity by adding cassava grinding machines and developing three new product variants. In the marketing aspect, zipper packaging with a logo and active social media accounts for digital promotion have been created. From the managerial side, partners now have production SOPs, simple financial reports, and legal documents such as NIB and PIRT assistance. These results significantly increase partner efficiency, competitiveness, and market opportunities.

Abstract

The development of eco-friendly cosmetics using local bioresources like Uncaria gambir Roxb. (gambir) holds strong promise for sustainable innovation. This study formulates and evaluates a catechin-based solid shampoo enriched with purified gambir extract, aiming to enhance product stability. A 14-day storage test was conducted at 20 °C and 40 °C using three types of packaging: translucent plastic, aluminum foil, and amber glass. Visual observations revealed that higher temperatures, especially in translucent plastic, accelerated color degradation due to catechin instability. Amber glass was the most effective in preserving the shampoo’s original color. Further, aqueous stability was assessed through two wet-use simulations: soaking (full immersion in distilled water) and dipping (partial immersion daily over four days). The shampoo maintained physical integrity during both tests, showing no softening or structural deformation. However, water discoloration increased over time, indicating catechin release and oxidation. The extent of browning was influenced by the pH of the water, suggesting that both environmental pH and oxidative exposure affect catechin behavior during use. These results demonstrate the solid shampoo’s physical resilience and moderate color stability under thermal and aqueous stress. While catechin oxidation is unavoidable, its rate can be mitigated through optimal packaging and pH management. The gambir-based solid shampoo shows potential as a natural, environmentally friendly personal care product, although further formulation refinement is needed to improve color retention during storage and use.
