Buah kakao adalah buah yang tidak memiliki musim, sehingga menjadi salah satu buah yang menghasilkan hasil panen yang tinggi setiap tahun di desa Medana, Kecamatan Tanjung, Kabupaten Lombok Utara. Hasil panen yang tinggi, berbanding lurus dengan limbah yang dihasilkan, yaitu kulit kakao. Permasalahan utama masyarakat desa Medana yaitu kurangnya pemahaman tentang mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan kulit buah kakao, sehingga hanya dimanfaatkan sebagai pakan ternak, bahkan sebagian besar merupakan limbah perkebunan yang hanya ditumpuk dan ditimbun. Kulit kakao mengandung senyawa fenolik, tanin, alkoloid, purin, dan coco butter. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa kulit kakao dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai produk olahan yang dapat dikonsumsi oleh manusia. Program ini dilaksanakan dengan tujuan yaitu untuk meningkatkan nilai ekonomi masyarakat desa Medana dengan memanfaatkan limbah kulit buah kakao menjadi produk olahan berupa kerupuk khususnya di desa Medana. Metode pelaksanaan dilakukan dengan metode survei dan wawancara dengan masyarakat setempat terkait untuk proses pengumpulan data. Proses selanjutnya yaitu sosialisasi dan pelatihan pemanfaatan kulit kakao yang akan diolah menjadi produk berupa kerupuk kulit kakao. Produk dibuat dengan alat dan bahan yang sederhana dan mudah diaplikasikan, sehingga mudah diterapkan oleh masyarakat desa Medana dari berbagai kalangan. Hasil produk didapatkan yaitu berupa kerupuk yang renyah serta mengembang setelah digoreng, selain itu, respon masyarakat sangat baik terhadap program yang telah dilaksanakan.
Clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) in the household order is to empower household members to know, be willing and able to practice and play an active role in the health movement in the community. PHBS in household order has 10 indicators that must be implemented. Teluk Dalem Hamlet in Medana Village has not yet fully implemented PHBS so that a PHBS extension work program is still being planned. The purpose of the counseling is to increase awareness and empowerment of the community in PHBS in Teluk Dalem Hamlet, Medana Village, Tanjung District, North Lombok Regency. The method used is counseling and evaluation monitoring in Teluk Dalem Hamlet by providing materials, discussions, questions and answers and demonstrations. The results of filling out the PHBS questionnaire were births by health workers (100%); exclusive breastfeeding (80%); weigh the baby every month (70%); use of clean water (85%); wash hands with soap (60%); house free from mosquito larvae (40%); consumption of fruit and vegetables (70%); physical activity (50%); no smoking in the house (25%); and use of healthy latrines (75%). The conclusion in this community service can have an impact on increasing the health status of Teluk Dalem Hamlet, Medana Village, among others, increasing public knowledge about clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS), and being able to practice good handwashing behavior so as to avoid various diseases.
Basil leaves (Ocimum sanctum L.) contain secondary metabolites as inhibitors of the growth of pathogenic microbes in the mouth, so they can be used as lozenges. The choice of binder in the formulation is very important, because it can affect the physical properties of the tablet. The purpose of this study was to determine the content of secondary metabolites in basil leaf extract and determine the best formula for lozenges of ethanol extract of basil leaves based on variations in gelatin binding agents. Basil leaves were extracted using the sonication method with 96% ethanol solvent and subjected to phytochemical screening (test tube and TLC). Tablets were formulated using the wet granulation method with variations of gelatin in formula 1 (5%), formula 2 (7.5%), and formula 3 (10%). The physical properties of the granules are evaluated and compressed. The resulting tablets were evaluated for physical properties. The results showed that basil leaves contained compounds belonging to the class of flavonoids, saponins and tannins. The results of the granule flow time test for formula 1 and 2 did not meet the requirements, formula 3 met the requirements for the Indonesian Pharmacopoeia Edition III. The angle of repose, settling, and granule water content tests (formula 1, 2, and 3) met the requirements of the Indonesian Pharmacopoeia Edition III. The results of tablet evaluation in the weight uniformity test for formulas 1, 2, and 3 were 257 mg ± 0.226; 248 mg ± 0.068 and 253 mg ± 0.157. Tablet hardness test of 3.721 kg ± 0.268; 4.221 kg ± 0.929 and 6.636 kg ± 1.035. Tablet friability test of 3.4% ± 0.152; 1.1% ± 0.264 and 0.9% ± 0.1. The disintegration time test was 7.6 minutes ± 2.452; 11 minutes ± 2.154 and 18.6 minutes ± 4.016. From this study it can be concluded that the ethanol extract of basil leaves has secondary metabolites of flavonoids, saponins and tannins. Variations in gelatin binder affect the physical properties of the tablet, where the concentration of gelatin binder is best in formula 3 (10%).
