PEMANFAATAN PATI DARI KULIT SINGKONG MENJADI GULA CAIR DI PERUMAHAN BUMI SALAM SEJAHTERA 2 (BSS 2) MONCONGLOE BULU

Abstract

Residents of Bumi Salam Sejahtera 2 (BSS 2) Moncongloe Bulu Village, use their empty land to plant cassava. Currently, residents process cassava into fried cassava, cassava chips and other cassava preparations. Food process produces waste in the form of cassava peel cause a bad smell, build up rubbish and pollute the environment. Meanwhile, the need for sugar in Indonesia continues to increase every year, which results in sugar imports, so that alternative non-cane sweeteners are needed as raw materials for making sugar. Cassava skin has a high carbohydrate content so can be processed into raw materials for glucose production. Glucose is a material containing polysaccharides obtained from starch. The starch can be broken down by the amylase enzyme into sugar. The Community Partnership Program (PKM) aims to increase the selling value of cassava peel, as solution to overcome environmental pollution, and increase residents' income. The target achieved is the formation of economically independent community groups through entrepreneurial activities that utilize cassava peels into liquid sugar that is ready to be sold or consumed daily. The output target of this PKM is scientific articles published nationally, so that they can provide benefits to the wider community. This activity is carried out Socialization, Demonstration and Training. Keywords: Moncongloe Bulu, Cassava Peel, Starch, Liquid Sugar
