The Department of Food and Agricultural Products Technology of FTP UGM held a community service activity themed “Technical Guidance and Alternative Carica Processing Technology” for the Management of the Elderly Cottage and Al-Maa’uun Orphanage, Wonosobo. This activity was guided by Dr. Arima Diah Setiowati, S.T.P., M.Sc., TPHP UGM lecturer. The activity which took place at 09.00-12.30 WIB was carried out through the Zoom Meeting platform.
The event was opened with remarks from Prof. Dr. Ir. Tyas Utami, M.Sc. as Chairperson of the UGM TPHP Department and Mr. Sukarwi as a representative of the elderly cottage and Al-Maa’uun orphanage, Wonosobo. Mr. Sukarwi said that the obstacle that occurs when sending carica fruit outside the area is the shipping cost which is more expensive than the carica fruit itself. So it was thought to increase the added value of carica fruit by making it an instant carica product.
