Review

The submitted abstract outlines a commendable community engagement initiative focused on the innovative utilization of rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) seeds, typically discarded as waste, for the creation of alternative food products. Targeting the PKK mothers in Perumahan Srondol Asri Semarang, the program aims to address the importance of diverse food alternatives and enhance nutritional intake by transforming this underutilized local commodity into popular chips. The proposed methodology, centered on practical training and demonstration, directly supports skill transfer and community empowerment. The initiative's primary strength lies in its practical application of food waste utilization, addressing both environmental sustainability and potential food security concerns by exploring alternative local ingredients. The focus on empowering local communities, particularly PKK mothers, through skill development for producing value-added products from rambutan seeds is highly commendable. This not only promises to diversify dietary options but also offers a viable pathway for generating economic opportunities, fostering self-reliance and local entrepreneurship within the target community. The direct, hands-on approach of training and demonstration is well-suited for effective knowledge transfer in a community setting. While the abstract clearly articulates the initiative's noble goals and practical methodology, a more comprehensive understanding of its scientific and economic impact would benefit from further detail. Future reporting or extensions of this work could strengthen its contribution by including specific data on the nutritional profile of rambutan seeds and the resulting chip product, as currently, the "kesehatan dan kebutuhan gizi manusia" aspect is broadly stated. Additionally, while economic potential is mentioned, a preliminary market analysis or cost-benefit assessment for the chip production would further substantiate its viability as a business commodity. Lastly, a plan for evaluating the long-term adoption, scalability, and actual economic impact on the PKK mothers involved would provide invaluable insights into the program's sustainability and broader potential.
