Abstract

The 2022 Indonesian Ministry of Health's Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) revealed four prevalent child malnutrition issues in Indonesia: stunting (27.7%), wasting (7.7%), underweight (17.1%), and overweight (3.5%). One source of nutritious food can be obtained from “air serbat,” presenting an entrepreneurial opportunity for students through the Chemistry Education Student Association (HIMDIKIM). This "air serbat" serves as the base ingredient for an ice cream innovation named “Serbato ice cream,” packaged in 50 mL cups. Following entrepreneur recruitment, the community service initiative proceeded with workshops on production and packaging. Test marketing was conducted five times, including one in Sebuyau, Sarawak, Malaysia. Organoleptic test results indicated positive responses towards color, aroma, and sweetness, with the substitution of packaged coconut milk improving smoothness and consistency. Serbato ice cream has obtained HAKI certificate No. EC00202366602, and its sales have generated a profit of 29.6% for HIMDIKIM.
