Abstract

The community service aims to solve several main problems experienced by empon-empon farmers,
namely the limited knowledge of the production techniques of empon-empon simplisia and the production
facilities of empon-empon simplisia. These problems are experienced by partner "Gunung Jambe" SMEs,
trawas sub-district, Mojokerto regency, East Java. To achieve the objectives of the PKM program, it is
necessary to introduce science and technology regarding: (1) optimizing the manufacture of export quality
simons (SNI: 01-3393-1994); (2) analysis of the nutritional content of simplicia empon-empon; (3) analysis
of shelf life of empon-empon simplicia products. The implementation of PKM activities was carried out
between May and September 2019. Based on the analysis of the nutritional content of the empon-empon
simplicia product, it is known that the simplicia empon-empon contains 1.54% water; ash 9.45%;
carbohydrates 86.70%; fat 0.91%; and protein 1.41%. From the results of the implementation of PKM in
June 2019, there was very high enthusiasm from PKM participants. In addition, there were some inputs
from the trainees related to the next activity which were conveyed through the trainee questionnaire.
