Abstract

This community empowerment program aims to enhance the capacity and welfare of Kuala Gigieng salt farmers through the innovation of salt-derived products and the strengthening of product branding. The activities were carried out at the Training Center of Universitas Syiah Kuala and in Gampong Neuheun, Aceh Besar District, using a participatory training approach. The stages included socialization, training on the production of salt-based dishwashing soap, practice in crushing and packaging refined salt, business management assistance, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test. The pre-test results showed that most participants had limited understanding of soap making, branding, and business management (≥50% in the poor category). After the training, significant improvements were recorded: 62.29% of participants demonstrated excellent understanding of soap production, 78.57% understood tools and ingredients, 85.71% understood branding and marketing, and 100% expressed very high interest in the program. The dishwashing soap produced was characterized by good foaming quality, effective cleaning ability, and a fresh aroma from patchouli oil. In addition, raw salt was successfully processed into 250 g packaged refined salt under the brand Merak Bintang Global, which increased its market value by approximately 40% compared to bulk salt. Business management assistance also encouraged the establishment of simple financial records and a clearer organizational structure within the farmer group.

Abstract

This community service program focuses on the empowerment of the geomembrane crystal salt farmers group in Gampong Neuheun, Aceh Besar Regency, through product innovation based on salt derivatives and the strengthening of branding strategies. The program aims to enhance the farmers’ capacity, skills, and economic welfare by increasing the added value of their salt products. The activities were conducted at the Training Center of Syiah Kuala University for the socialization and training sessions, and at the farmers’ production site for hands-on practice. The implementation adopted a participatory training approach, consisting of program socialization, salt-based hand wash production, salt refining and packaging practice, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test assessments. The evaluation results showed a significant improvement in participants’ competencies. A total of 62.29% of participants demonstrated an excellent understanding of the hand wash production process, 78.57% mastered the use of tools and materials, and 85.71% showed good comprehension of branding and marketing strategies. All participants (100%) expressed high enthusiasm and willingness to participate in future training. The resulting hand wash product exhibited soft foam, a fresh aroma from patchouli oil, and effective cleansing properties, while raw salt was successfully processed into 250 g refined packaged salt under the brand “Merak Bintang Global”, increasing its market value by approximately 40% compared to bulk salt. Overall, the program effectively enhanced the participants’ technical and entrepreneurial skills while strengthening the competitiveness of local salt products through innovation, branding, and product diversification based on coastal potential.

Abstract

Gelatin, a valuable biopolymer, is commonly derived from animal by-products such as fish skin, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional bovine and porcine sources. The extraction process is influenced by factors like acid type and temperature, which impact both yield and quality. This study aimed to compare the effects of citric acid and acetic acid, at two temperatures (50C and 60C), on the gelatin extracted from yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) skin. The extracted gelatin was evaluated for yield, proximate composition, functional groups using FTIR, and surface morphology through SEM. Results indicated that acetic acid produced a significantly higher yield than citric acid at both temperatures, with the highest yield (10.10%) at 50C and the lowest (2.46%) from citric acid at 60C. Gelatin extracted with acetic acid also had higher protein content and lower moisture and ash levels. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of characteristic gelatin functional groups, including Amide I, II, and III. SEM images showed a denser and more uniform structure in acetic acid-extracted gelatin, while gelatin extracted with citric acid had a more porous and irregular surface. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed stronger protein bands for gelatin extracted with acetic acid, indicating higher protein content and a more efficient extraction process. Both acid-extracted gelatins showed -chains and -chains, characteristic of denatured collagen. In conclusion, acetic acid proved to be more effective than citric acid in producing higher yield and superior quality gelatin from yellowfin tuna skin. Further studies should assess the gel strength and amino acid composition of the extracted gelatin.Keywords:environmental chemistrybelow waterbiopolymergelatinmarine chemistrywaste valorizationyellowfin tuna
