Abstract

Siwarak village is one of the centers for pineapple production in Purbalingga Regency. Most of the residents of Siwarak village make a living as pineapple farmers. The pineapple farmer group chaired by Mrs. Tri Wahyuningsih is a pineapple farmer group in Siwarak Village that processes pineapples into several food products such as setup, pineapple, pineapple crackers, candy, lunkhead with the PINNE product brand. In the production process, the pineapple farmer group just throws away the residual waste of pineapple processing. This is a serious problem because it has caused environmental pollution such as odor and soil pollution due to the leachate. Pineapple farmer groups do not take into account the possibility of utilizing pineapple waste, especially the skin. As waste from pineapple, pineapple peel still contains carbohydrates, high sugar and potential as an antibacterial. In this Research-Based PPM activity, the proposing team will provide solutions to environmental problems caused by pineapple peel waste, namely by optimizing the use of pineapple peel as an antibacterial ingredient in the manufacture of liquid dish soap. In addition to being an alternative to minimizing environmental pollution, by utilizing pineapple peel waste, it can provide added value to the pineapple itself and open up business opportunities. Community service activities were attended by PKK women and pineapple farmers. With this activity, mothers can independently make liquid hand soap using extracts from pineapple peels.
