PEMBERDAYAAN KELOMPOK PKK DESA KEMBANG BELOR, PACET, MOJOKERTO MELALUI PEMANFAATAN JAGUNG KETAN UNGU MENJADI MINUMAN PROBIOTIK “YOGURT”

2024-09-03T09:05:21+00:00

Desa Kembang Belor merupakan salah satu desa di Kecamatan Pacet yang memiliki hasil panen jagung ketan ungu. Masyarakat hingga saat ini masih kurang memanfaatkan jagung ketan ungu menjadi produk pangan olahan, padahal jagung ketan ungu sendiri memiliki banyak sekali manfaat bagi kesehatan tubuh. Jagung ketan ungu mengandung antosianin, yaitu pigmen yang memberikan warna merah keunguan pada biji jagung. Antosianin merupakan antioksidan yang membantu melawan radikal bebas dalam tubuh, dapat membantu mengurangi risiko penyakit kronis seperti penyakit jantung, kanker, dan gangguan penuaan. Pengolahan jagung ketan ungu menjadi yogurt adalah salah satu contoh inovasi dalam industri pangan yang memanfaatkan bahan lokal untuk menciptakan produk baru dengan nilai tambah. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan penduduk dalam pengolahan jagung ketan ungu menjadi yogurt yang higenis, dan disukai konsumen serta memperkenalkan cara pengemasan dan pemasaran produk yang baik dalam menunjang pengembangan produk olahan jagung ketan ungu untuk meningkatkan pendapatan masyarakat. Metode yang dipakai adalah penyuluhan dan pelatihan tentang pengolahan yogurt jagung ketan ungu, metode pengemasan dan strategi pemasarannya.

MAPPING AGRICULTURAL AREAS IN GLAGAH DISTRICT TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF GRAIN PRODUCTION (RICE HUSKS)

2024-12-01T00:38:16+00:00

Area mapping is used to find out the potential that can be explored in an area. Geographically, Glagah District is located in the area of Lamongan Regency which is located in the northern hemisphere, approximately 15 Km from the capital of Lamongan district, located at coordinates between 06° 53' 30.81'' – 7° 23'6'' South Latitude and 112° 17' 01.22'' – 112° 33'12''. Glagah District has an area of 3,888 ha of agricultural land and makes agricultural products in this area quite large. Grain production in Glagah sub-district was 29,104 tons and 18,623.29 tons of rice production in 2019. The large amount of grain obtained makes the potential for processing rice husk waste a thing that needs to be considered. One way to process rice husks is by converting rice husks into burnt charcoal, considering that the silica content in rice husk ash is quite large at 87-97% of dry weight. This method is fairly easy to do and burnt husk charcoal can be used for organic fertilizer that is beneficial for plants.

MAPPING POTENTIAL FISH PROCESSING SOURCES GLAGAH DISTRICT, LAMONGAN

Glagah District, located in Lamongan Regency, has a lot of potential that can still be optimized, one of which is fish processing. This area produces popular fish on the market and only becomes waste if not processed, such as small fish, fish with too many spines, and fish heads. This is the main concern in processing unsold fish as one of the main raw materials in the production of fish meal. Mapping fish processing sources aims to build and maximize fish production potential. The method used is a descriptive and qualitative method with a field survey to obtain an overview of the distribution points of fish processing sources. From the results of field surveys and mapping carried out, there are 196.2456 hectares, including swamps, rivers and reservoirs, with a production scale of around 125.4635 tons. Meanwhile, the results of aquaculture include fish ponds, rice fields, ponds, floating-net-cages, and step-net-cages, which cover an area of around 4,179.48 hectares with a production scale of 12,915.9608 tons. The use of fish includes flour, pellets, crackers, presto, and fish cake, which can add selling value. This can also be a way to reduce fish and increase the village's income.

Bromo is one of Indonesia’s premier tourist destinations, renowned for its unique biodiversity, including Edelweiss (Anaphalis javanica), a symbolic flower of mountainous ecosystems. However, increasing tourism activities and human interference have threatened the conservation of Edelweiss habitats. To address this challenge, faculty members from the Faculty of Engineering and Science, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional "Veteran" Jawa Timur, in collaboration with the local community of Bromo and international universities, conducted an Edelweiss planting program on September 26, 2024. This initiative was part of the Adjunct Professor program and the International Conference on Science and Technology (ICST) 2024. The program achieved a seedling adaptation success rate of 85%, contributing to improved soil stability in the planting areas. Beyond ecological impacts, the initiative successfully raised environmental awareness and fostered active local community participation in conservation. The collaboration among academics, the local community, and international partners highlighted the importance of multi-stakeholder approaches in environmental preservation. Despite challenges such as unpredictable weather and the need for long-term monitoring, the program serves as a model for community-based conservation initiatives in other sensitive ecosystems.
