Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is one of the processed products from coconuts that has high economic value. This economic value is triggered by the benefits of VCO. The people of Oma Village are located on the coast of Haruku Island which is very overgrown with coconut plants. The abundance of coconut plants has not been maximally utilized by the Oma village community. This problem prompted training to make VCO for the Oma village community, Haruku Island. This community service is carried out based on counseling and training on making VCO to the Oma Village community. Counseling was carried out to convey about VCO, the benefits of VCO and how to make VCO. The training is carried out by demonstrating/demonstrating the procedure for making VCO and providing tools and materials to partners to be able to produce VCO independently. The results of VCO products from the Oma Village community are reported to the service team and used as an indicator of the success of the VCO making training. The results obtained provide information that this product is a product that can be cultivated by the Oma village community as an opportunity to improve their economy.
Desa Morella merupakan desa adat yang terletak di Kecamatan Leihitu Maluku Tengah dan memiliki salah satu potensi kelapa yang cukup banyak. Dalam memanfaatkan daging buah kelapa, biasanya air kelapa dibuang begitu saja sebagai limbah. Jurusan Kimia Universitas Pattimura melakukan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dengan tujuan untuk memanfaatkan limbah air kelapa yang tidak terpakai menjadi produk bernilai ekonomis salah satunya adalah produk kecap manis. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat di Desa Morella ini, dilakukan dengan dua metode yaitu penyuluhan dan pelatihan. Penyuluhan dilakukan dengan cara memberikan informasi tentang pemanfaatan air kelapa menjadi produk bernilai ekonomis dan cara pemasaran produk yang dihasilkan. Sedangkan pelatihan dilakukan dengan cara demonstrasi secara langsung produk kecap manis. Produk kecap manis yang berasal dari limbah air kelapa memiliki kelebihan dari kecap manis produk kedelai yaitu; rasanya enak, bahan baku yang digunakan merupakan limbah buangan yang tidak perlu dibeli, dan waktu produksi cepat. Kecap manis yang dihasilkan dapat digunakan sendiri atau bisa dijadikan industri rumahan dalam upaya meningkatkan kesejahteraan keluarga.
The deposition of heavy metals in Ambon Bay was investigated by using sponge species (Callispongia sp.) as bioindicator. Two different sampling schemes are discussed in this paper: a random sampling scheme with 8 sampling sites distributed over the whole territory of Ambon Bay. Unwashed, dried samples were totally the concentrations of metal elements were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). Heavy metal Cd. The median concentrations and statistical parameters of elements were discussed by comparing two sampling schemes. The results of both sampling schemes are compared with the results of other the location of the net. Different levels of the contamination valuated by the respective contamination factor (CF) of each element are obtained for both sampling schemes, while the local contamination identified like cadmium metallurgy and cement industry, oil refinery, mining industry, and transport have been the same for both sampling schemes. In addition, the natural sources, from the accumulation of these metals in sponge caused by metal-enriched soil, associated with activity in the land were pointed as another possibility of local factors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
