This study aims to determine the morphological character of white, red and black rice as a differentiator ofrice varieties. This research uses 10 rice samples which are 6 local rice of Kupang, 2 varieties of local superior riceand 2 Italian rice. The method used is direct observation of both qualitative and quantitative characteristics of rice.Long grain size of rice is a character that can indicate the distinguishing of local rice, domestic superior and ricefrom abroad. Character of rice morphology is a character very easily observed in knowing the difference of ricevarieties. Character of rice morphology are easily characters observed in knowing the difference of rice varieties.Characters difference can be used to determine the adulteration of rice mixed.
Local upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a type of cereal crop that has the potential for dry land areas. Farmers in Kupang plant upland rice/local rice that has been consumed and used for generations and is considered by the surrounding community as part of their ancestral heritage. The materials used in this research were local upland rice varieties as a result of exploration. The varieties of six local upland rice of Kupang studied in this research had different rice characters in terms of its weight, volume, density and yield.'Aen Molo' has the highest weight per grain and per 1000 grains, namely 0.024 g and 24.95 g, also the highest volume of 1000 grains of rice is 30 ml, while 'Aen Lekes' has the lowest weight per grain and per 1000 grains, namely 0.020 g and 19.66 g and also the lowest volume of 1000 grains, namely 23 ml. The Iodine test results showed that the local rice of Kupang was classified in the regular or non-glutinous rice group. Meanwhile, Alkali test results show that the six samples of local upland rice have a high gelatinization temperature which indicates that local upland rice in Kupang Regency has high amylose content.
The availability of hand sanitizers, which is one of the Covid-19 prevention media, is becoming scarce and expensive due to their increasing use, making them difficult to reach by the public. Therefore we need another source of active ingredients that more easily obtained, available in abundant quantities and more economically to be used as a substtitute for hand sanitizer raw materials by the public. Potential alternantive material to be used as raw material for hand sanitizer is betel leaves, however, public knowledge about the benefits and methods of processing betel leaves into hand sanitizer is very limited. Therefore, education about the use of betel leaves into natural hand sanitizer products to rural communitties needs to be done to increase people’s insight about making natural hand sanitizer and increase public awareness in maintaining hygiene by providing and using similar products.
Kegiatan pelatihan pembuatan tempe dari kacang merah dan kacang turis bermitra dengan kelompok tani Fatuknutu, Kelurahan Sasi, Kota Kefamenanu. Kegiatan ini dilatarbelakangi oleh ketersediaan bahan baku yang melimpah di lokasi setempat tetapi masyarakat belum dibekali oleh pengetahuan dan keterampilan untuk mengolah bahan tersebut. Sehingga kegiatan ini dimaksudkan untuk mengedukasi sekaligus melatih masyarakat dalam melakukan inovasi terhadap bahan pangan yang melimpah sekaligus untuk meningkatkan nila jualnya. Terdapat 3 tahapan dalam melaksanakan kegiatan ini yaitu menjelaskan dan menginstruksikan alat dan bahan yang akan digunakan dalam kegiatan, mendemonstrasikan pembuatan tempe dari kacang turis dan kacang merah sekaligus mendampingi peserta dalam praktik mandiri serta memonitoring dan mengevaluasi hasil pelatihan. Hasil utama yang diperoleh berupa produk tempe kacang turis dan tempe kacang merah. Selain produk tempe, anggota Kelompok Tani Fatuknutu menjadi terampil dalam membuat tempe secara mandiri untuk memenuhi kebutuhan gizi harian dari bahan baku yang mudah dijangkau.Kata kunci : tempe, kacang turis, kacang merah, fatuknutu, sasi
