Successfully Utilizing Local Food Ingredients, Food Technology Students Produce “Carrotic” Dessert Product Combination of Carrots, Ice Cream, and Probiotic Bacteria
Udayana University together through
the Student Entrepreneurial Program (PMW) provides a forum for Udayana
University students in developing entrepreneurial interests and talents based
on science and technology and has the aim of increasing the potential and
interest of students in entrepreneurship. One of the groups that successfully
passed the selection and received funding from Udayana University was Carrotic.
Carrotic is a business idea from students of the Food Technology Study Program,
Faculty of Agricultural Technology consisting of Imel Tarianda Putri Dakhi as
the group leader, along with other members namely Vony Christin Pato Duma,
Kevin Listianto Halim, I Gusti Ayu Renita Putri Apsari, and Shinta Safa Rannya
Bachris under the guidance of Mrs. Anak Agung Istri Sri Wiadnyani, S.TP., M.Sc.
as a Lecturer in the Food Technology Study Program.
Carrotic is an acronym for Carrot
Probiotic Ice Cream, as the name implies, is an ice cream that uses raw
ingredients from carrots and milk which are added with probiotic bacteria to
make a delicious and healthy dessert. The idea for this business arose based on
anxiety which realized that several areas in Bali were areas with quite high
local carrot yields but the harvest tended to be cheap due to an imbalance
between the supply of carrots and the demand for carrots by the Balinese
people. Through Carrotic, this group is trying to diversify the local carrot
food into new products that have potential in terms of economy, nutritional
content, and health benefits. Carrots which are rich in Vitamin A and fiber
with the addition of cow's milk which is rich in protein and Calcium, as well
as probiotic bacteria which have good benefits for the digestive tract make
these products healthy and also enjoyable. In addition, the utilization of
carrots into ice cream is a new idea to increase the selling power of carrots into
high-value functional food products that are liked by people from all walks of
life.
Imel Tarianda Putri Dakhi as the
group leader reported that the Student Entrepreneurial Program Activities at
Udayana University provided an opportunity for her group to take part in a
product exhibition. we can also provide good information regarding the business
opportunities that we provide. In addition, there is an Entrepreneurship Event
held in the Green Open Space of Udayana University, Sudirman Denpasar Campus and
Investment Summit Activities as a forum for PMW activity participants to
realize their business ideas from prototypes to finished products that are
ready for sale. An event for product
promotion, product marketing and developing product markets so that products
can be better known by the public, she said.
