Food Technology
students turn waste into blessings by innovating Jackfruit seeds to become nuggets in an
effort to deal with food waste as was done by Adi Cahyadi and several other
members, namely Eriano Septiadi, Ni Komang Sintia Dewi, Nyoman Narisadewi
Sujata and Ida Ayu Agung Andina Niti Saraswati Manuaba under guidance from a
Lecturer in the Food Technology Study Program, namely Anak Agung Istri Sri Wiadnyani, S.TP.,
M.Sc. This idea is one of the creativity of the Food Technology Study Program
students who have received funding from the Udayana University Entrepreneurial
Student Program.
Departing from the
problem of "food waste" and the high content of carbohydrates and
fiber in jackfruit seeds, this group of students made an innovation called
Nubika "Jackfruit seed nuggets in producing a product that is useful and
has market opportunities. In addition to utilizing jackfruit seeds, the soybean
flour mixture also adds protein content, so that indirectly from making this
product it can help Indonesian farmers develop local food potential.
Adi Cahyadi as the
head of the group explained that by using jackfruit seeds as a basic ingredient
with the substitution of soy flour and other spices, this product is rich in
nutrients that are safe for the body and has a taste that suits the tongue of
the public. "This product comes with 2 variants, namely salty and sweet
which are packaged in frozen food which has a shelf life of approximately 1
week so that NUBIKA can be reached by everyone," he said.
