Abstract

During the coffee harvest season, coffee skins are generated as a byproduct of the coffee processing procedure. The quantity of coffee skin generated is substantial, typically 40% to 50%. Coffee skins are commonly subjected to a drying process and afterward provided to goats as a supplementary feed, typically without undergoing any specific treatment. The cellulose concentration of dried coffee skin is significantly elevated, which can lead to a decrease in its digestion. By employing technological advancements such as fermentation, it is possible to reduce the cellulose content or crude fiber present in coffee skins. This fiber reduction enhances the coffee skin's digestibility and shelf life. The utilization of fermented coffee skin as a concentrated feed source for goats has been observed. Based on scholarly sources, it has been suggested that goats require approximately 10% of their body weight in daily forage feed. Additionally, it is deemed essential to supplement their diet with concentrate feed, ideally amounting to 1% of their body weight, to offer additional nourishment. To sustain a population of 25-50 goats, each weighing an average of 25 kg, farmers are required to supply a daily feed quantity ranging from 75-125 kg. Therefore, group members must possess imperative for group members to possess an adequate provision of feed, including grass and concentrates, to consistently fulfill goats' dietary requirements the group to possess an adequate provision of feed, including both grass and concentrates, to fulfill the dietary requirements of goats consistently. One potential approach to addressing the challenges partners encounter is imparting knowledge, enhancing skills, and introducing suitable technology for by partners is imparting knowledge, enhancing skills, and introducing suitable technology to the strategic provision of goat animal feed. This can be achieved by fermenting coffee skins and producing silage, of fermenting coffee skins and producing silage, augmenting the feed's quantity and quality of the feed while extending its storage duration. The utilization of coffee skin waste, which is produced during coffee bean processing, as a viable feed option for goats is a promising solution. This approach eliminates the practice of stockpiling coffee skin waste beneath coffee trees, eliminates the practice of stockpiling coffee skin waste beneath coffee trees, and eliminates the practice of stockpiling coffee skin waste beneath coffee trees but also mitigates environmental pollution.

Abstract

The rising demand for Siam Kintamani oranges is driven by heightened public health awareness. Its bioactive components benefit human health, but their quality is swiftly deteriorating. Oranges must be preserved using the Nanocoating-konjac application procedure. Nanocoating-konjac is an immersion-applied natural preservative solution derived from konjac. Efforts to develop the autonomy and welfare of a community are made through village community empowerment. The Woman’s Farmer Group (KWT) Mekar-Sari (partners) is a group of women cultivators in the village of Pengejaran, Kintamani District, Bali Province, Indonesia, who require assistance to increase the shelf life of Siamese oranges. Using Nanocoating-konjac as a natural preservative for Siamese oranges can support community service objectives, such as enhancing (both soft and hard) skills and forming/developing economically and socially independent communities. By engaging in community service, partners gain the knowledge and abilities to manage natural resources and an entrepreneurial spirit, expanding their business and marketing opportunities. Community service activities are conducted through training using lecture methods, discussions, demonstrations, queries and answers, while an evaluation is carried out after handling the program. Seventy percent of the twenty group members who participated in community service had never preserved Siamese oranges, while thirty percent had done so. After participating in these activities, all members understand the materials and procedures, and they continue to apply nanocoating to citrus fruits based on what is marketed. Coating citrus fruits with nano-konjac adds value and becomes a community income source.
