Abstract

Air kelapa tua merupakan bahan yang berpotensi dimanfaatkan, tetapi pada tingkat rumah tangga sering belum dikelola secara optimal. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan memberikan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kepada kelompok ibu-ibu RT 21 mengenai pemanfaatan air kelapa tua sebagai bahan baku pembuatan asam cuka melalui fermentasi sederhana. Metode kegiatan meliputi persiapan, penyampaian materi, demonstrasi, praktik dengan pendampingan, diskusi, dan evaluasi pemahaman peserta. Bahan praktik terdiri atas 5 liter air kelapa tua, 2 sendok makan gula pasir, dan 10 gram ragi roti (Fermipan). Air kelapa disaring dan direbus hingga mendidih, kemudian didinginkan sebelum penambahan gula dan starter. Campuran selanjutnya ditempatkan dalam wadah yang ditutup kain atau tisu dan dibiarkan terlindung dari cahaya selama fermentasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan pelaksanaan berlangsung lancar, peserta antusias, dan pemahaman terhadap materi dinilai baik. Produk asam cuka berhasil dihasilkan dan diuji kualitasnya. Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa pengolahan dapat mendukung pemanfaatan bahan lokal menjadi produk yang bernilai guna.
