Jatijejer Village, located in Mojokerto, East Java, has abundant natural resources, particularly in the agricultural sector. One of the cultivated plants is jasmine (Jasminum sambac), which is known for its distinctive fragrance and aromatherapeutic benefits when processed into essential oil. The production of jasmine essential oil requires a specific technique called enfleurage. This community service program aimed to introduce the enfleurage method for producing jasmine essential oil to the residents of Jatijejer Village. The activities began with an educational session explaining the enfleurage process, followed by hands-on practice in producing jasmine essential oil using this method. The program involved 30 participants, including village officials, representatives of farmer groups, the Family Welfare Empowerment group (PKK), the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes), and service teams from the University of Surabaya (UBAYA) and Wijaya Kusuma University Surabaya (UWKS). Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to assess participants’ understanding, along with direct observation of practical skills. The results showed improved participant knowledge and skills, high enthusiasm, and a strong commitment to implementing the enfleurage method on a larger and more sustainable scale.]]>
