Abstract

Students of SMKN 5 Kendari enrolled in the agricultural and fisheries agribusiness program still have limited knowledge and practical skills in food biotechnology, particularly in the application of fermentation techniques for processing local food products. This issue needs to be addressed through practical, hands-on training activities. This community service program aimed to enhance students' knowledge and practical skills in producing lemperi as a fermented food product. The program was implemented through lectures, discussions, and live demonstrations. Participants' knowledge was evaluated using pre-tests and post-tests, each consisting of 10 essay questions. Their practical skills were assessed using a performance assessment observation sheet. The success indicator of the program was the improvement of participants' knowledge and practical skills in producing lemperi according to the correct processing procedures. The results demonstrated that the training improved students' knowledge by 80% and practical skills by 90% in biotechnology-based food processing. After completing the practical sessions, the students were able to understand the production process and independently produce lemperi made from papaya and anchovies as an innovative fermented food product with economic value.
