Abstract

Tanaman sagu mampu menghasilkan 20–40-ton pati kering per hektar per tahun. Artinya, 1 juta hektar tanaman sagu sudah cukup untuk memenuhi kebutuhan karbohidrat seluruh rakyat Indonesia. Peningkatan produksi dan diversifikasi produk olahan sagu dapat membuka peluang usaha baru dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Desa Waesamu di Kecamatan Kairatu Barat, Kabupaten Seram Bagian Barat, merupakan salah satu desa yang aktif dalam mengolah sagu. Namun dalam pengolahannya belum optimal, karena hasil olahan dalam bentuk bahan setenga jadi yaitu sagu basah. Oleh sebab itu perlu dilakukan pengolahan produk-produk turunan dari sagu yang memiliki nilai tambah dan nilai jual. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat berlangsung di Desa Waesamu melalui tahapan sosialisasi, pelatihan dan pendampingan kepada ibu-ibu PKK Desa Waesamu. Hasil kegiatan pengabdian yaitu tepung sagu diolah menjadi berbagai produk turunan, seperti kukis sagu keju, kukis sagu kismis, brownies sagu, dan mie sagu. Setiap kelompok mengolah salah satu produk dan mempresentasikan hasilnya kepada seluruh peserta pelatihan. Hasilnya sangat baik dan para peserta bersemangat untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan untuk pengolahan produk sagu menjadi peluang usaha untuk penambahan pendapatan keluarga.

Abstract

This Community Service (PkM) program was conducted to address the limited knowledge of the residents of Lilibooi Village, Leihitu Barat District, regarding the potential of Pisang Tongka Langit (Musa troglodytarum L.) as an abundant local commodity. Currently, this banana is generally sold in fresh form, making it highly perishable and underutilized as a value-added product. Situation analysis revealed that the community lacks understanding of how to process this natural resource into beneficial products, despite its high content of provitamin A and total carotenoids, which make it suitable as a functional food. The proposed solution involved organizing an educational workshop and hands-on training on processing Pisang Tongka Langit into high-quality banana chips . The method included lectures on nutritional potential and processing techniques, followed by demonstration and direct practice. This activity aimed to promote food diversification and create business opportunities to improve local economic welfare. The results indicated a positive community response, increased awareness of the banana’s potential, and improved skills in producing crispy, shelf-stable chips . However, challenges such as limited processing equipment and raw material availability require further support. In conclusion, the training provided valuable knowledge and practical skills as an entrepreneurial foundation for the residents of Lilibooi Village.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the interaction among lime (calcium hydroxide), chitosan, and sugar on the sensory quality of nutmeg juice, and to determine the optimal formulation for quality enhancement. Nutmeg fruit pulp, which is largely underutilized and exhibits sensory limitations such as astringency, readily degradable volatile aroma, and poor color clarity, was processed into juice. The research employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a $3 \times 3 \times 3$ factorial pattern, utilizing three concentration levels for lime (1%, 2%, 3%), chitosan (0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%), and sugar (15%, 20%, 25%). Results of the hedonic sensory evaluation indicated that the interaction of the three additives exerted a significant effect on astringency, color (turbidity), aroma, and overall acceptability. The $A2B3C3$ formulation (2% Lime, 0.2% Chitosan, 25% Sugar) yielded the highest scores for a very non-astringent taste (3.94) and low turbidity (3.47). Nevertheless, the best formulation preferred by panelists for overall acceptability was $A2B2C3$ (2% Lime, 0.15% Chitosan, 25% Sugar) with a mean score of 3.43 (liked). This confirms that an optimal combination of these food additives can establish a superior sensory balance, positioning nutmeg juice as a product with high potential for commercial development.

Abstract

Tomatoes are horticultural products with high economic value and wide consumer appeal; however, they are highly perishable and require appropriate postharvest handling. One approach to preserving tomato quality is the application of gibberellin. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of gibberellin concentration on tomato quality during storage, focusing on parameters such as weight loss, firmness, moisture content, vitamin C, and total acidity. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors was applied: gibberellin concentration (5, 10, and 15 ppm) and storage duration (4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 days). The results revealed that the lowest gibberellin concentration (5 ppm) was the most effective in maintaining tomato quality over 20 days of storage, resulting in weight loss of 3.23%, firmness of 0.96 KgF, moisture content of 92.78%, vitamin C of 3.67%, and total acidity of 8.6%. These findings provide important insights for postharvest management strategies to preserve tomato quality and economic value.
