Abstract

The Pendawa farmer group located in Candirejo Village, Sibiru-biru, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra has processed cocoa beans into milk chocolate bars. The aims this activity is to find and increase the melting point temperature of milk chocolate bar products that have been produced by farmers. The low melting point causes the chocolate produced by the Pendawa farmer group to not last long and easily melts at room temperature in a short time. Some of the innovations the team provided were the addition of vegetable oil (coconut oil) and the addition of a tempering process before the chocolate was molded/frozen. The tempering process aims to change the shape of the crystals in chocolate. Based on observations, chocolate with coconut oil added has a good aroma and a shinier appearance compared to chocolate without coconut oil added. In addition, milk chocolate bar products with the addition of a tempering process have a higher melting point temperature than non-tempered products. Products with the tempering process also show a denser form than non-tempered chocolate bars.

Abstract

Deli Serdang is one of the largest centers in North Sumatra for cocoa commodities. Cocoa is strong life support for residents in Candi Rejo Village, Sibiru-Biru District, Deli Serdang Regency, especially for residents in the Pendawa Farmer Group. The abundance of cocoa harvest also causes an increase in the amount of cocoa husk waste. Still, some of the problems that arise cannot be overcome due to the limitations of science and technology. Until now, the abundant cocoa husk waste has just been piled up without any efficient processing. With training and socialization on making compost made from cocoa husk waste effectively and efficiently, the community and farmers in the Pendawa Farmer Group have increased their knowledge and ability to utilize cocoa shell waste as organic fertilizer independently. The use of compost made from cocoa husk waste is expected to increase soil fertility and create a bio-entrepreneurial spirit in the Pendawa Farmer Group.
