Abstract

This Community Service (PKM) activity was carried out for the community in Sugihen Village in Dolat Rayat sub-district, Tanah Karo regency, North Sumatra. This village has limited access to health education or training, as well as the use of natural materials to increase community income. To address this problem, the Community Service Team of the University of North Sumatra provided solutions in the form of education about diabetes mellitus and its prevention, the benefits of food sequencing as an alternative health snack, and a marketing and business plan workshop. In addition to the workshop, practical work was also carried out in the form of making alternative health snacks from passion fruit peel and honey. The application of technology and innovation has had an impact on increasing community knowledge and skills. The method used in this service is a modified Community Based Interactive Approach (CBIA) method where participants who are representatives of farmers, housewives, youth organizations, and the community are actively involved in the entire series of activities. Phytochemical screening tests of passion fruit peel flour showed that it contains alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids/steroids, and glycosides. The ash content of the flour was 6.1%. Antidiabetic activity tests showed a reduction in diabetes. Expected outcomes include increased community knowledge and skills, alternative health snack products based on passion fruit peel, scientific articles, media publications, and IPR patents. After this community service, the community understood the definition of diabetes mellitus by 80%, the benefits of food sequencing by 60%, the empowerment of natural materials from passion fruit peel and honey by 76% and marketing and business plans by 80%.
