Kuningan Regency is the area that has potential in agriculture. One of the leading commodities in Kuningan Regency is sweet potato (Ipomea batatas L). Sweet potato cultivation continues to be developed, even in Cilimus District, it is known as one of the productive production centers in the West Java region which provides sweet potato supplies to several areas to supply sweet potato needs in the West Java region. The problems are faced by farmers today including the increasingly erratic price of sweet potatoes, lack of market opportunities, product diversification, and mastery of cultivation technology. This service activity was carried out in Cilimus Village, Cilimus District, Kuningan Regency with partners of sweet potato farmers. The purpose of this assistance is to provide supply chain assistance for sweet potato marketing so that farmers are able to continuously market sweet potatoes above the production price. Mentoring activities were started from identification of sweet potato problems at the farmer level, identification of production and identification of markets. The using of method is interactive discussion and market mapping conducted together with farmers. Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was used to confirm the cultivation system, production, and marketing system of sweet potato. The result of this activity is that farmers know the marketing potential of sweet potatoes other than middlemen and the quality criteria of sweet potatoes according to industry demand.

<em>Sweet potato is an important staple food crop especially for the local people of Central Highlands Jayawijaya. There are many accessions that have always been maintained its existence to enrich their various uses. Traditionally, sweet potato accessions were grouped based on the utilization, such as for animal feed, cultural ceremonies, consumption for adults, as well as for infants and children. This study was aimed to analyze the nutritional value of sweet potatoes consumed by infants and children of the Dani tribe. Chemical analyses were conducted at the Laboratory of Post-Harvest Research and Development Center, Cimanggu, Bogor. The results showed that each of 4 (four) sweet potato accessions which were consumed by infants and children had good nutrient levels. Accession Sabe showed the highest water content (72.56%), vitamin C (72.71 mg/100 g), Fe (11.85 mg/100 g), and K levels (130.41 mg / 100 grams). The highest levels of protein (1.44%), fat (1.00%), energy (154.43 kkal/100 gram), carbohydrate (35.47%), starch (30.26%), reducing sugar (3.44%), riboflavin (0.18 mg/100 g), and vitamin A (574.40 grams IU/100 were produced by accession Manis.

Marshmallow belongs to a high-calorie food that requires a low-calorie substitute for sucrose, one of which is sorbitol. Marshmallow has the potential to become a functional food with the addition of inulin contained within white sweet potatoes. Inulin refers to a type of fructan carbohydrate which contains fiber and has the potential as a prebiotic that is beneficial for the human’s body. This study aims to determine the effect of the addition of white sweet potato (Ipomea batatas L.) inulin extract and sorbitol on the physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristic of marshmallows and to obtain the best marshmallow’s formula through white sweet potato (Ipomea batatas L.) inulin extract and sorbitol addition. The completely randomized design method (CRD) applied in this study consisted of one factor, namely the difference in formulation between the concentration of white sweet potato inulin extract (2% and 3%) and the concentration of sorbitol (25%, 50%, and 75%). The statistical analysis utilized the One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) method using SPSS. The results of this study indicated that the addition of white sweet potato inulin extract and sorbitol had a significant effect on tensile strength, density, moisture content, ash content, total calories, dietary fiber, and organoleptic characteristics of marshmallows. The best formula for marshmallows was formula 4 with the addition of 2% white sweet potato inulin extract and 50% sorbitol.

Retnati, Andriani MAM, Fauza G. 2009. The influence of addition of various sweet potatoes (Ipomea batatas) extract to total count of cells and antioxidant activity in yogurt. Biofarmasi 7: 68-76. The aim of this research was to determine the influence of addition of various sweet potatoes extract to the total count of cells and the antioxidant activity in yogurt. Yogurt was made from fresh milk, skim milk, white sweet potato, orange sweet potato, purple sweet potato, and pure culture of Streptococcus thermophilus 0040 and Lactobacillus bulgaricus 0041 in straight MRS agar. Fresh milk, skim milk powder (5%, b/v), and sweet potato extract (10%, v/v) was pasteurized at 90oC for 15 minutes, cooled to the temperature between 40-45oC, inoculated with 2.5% S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus with a proportion of 1.4:1, and then incubated at a temperature of 40oC for 15 hours. Yogurt without an addition of sweet potato extract was used as control. The parameters measured in this experiment were the total count of cells with TPC (Total Plate Count) method and the antioxidant activity with DPPH (2,2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. Samples were taken at one hour interval to examine the total count of cells, while the antioxidant activity was collected at three hours interval. The result of each analysis was plotted into graphics which describing the relation of total bacteria and antioxidant activity with fermentation time. ANOVA was employed to analyze the data. If there was a significant difference, it should be followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a significance level α=0.05. The result of this research showed that the addition of various sweet potatoes extracts increased the total count of cells and the antioxidant activity in yogurt. The total count of cells showed no significant different for each sample, it meant that the different colors in sweet potato did not influence the total count of cells. However, yogurt with orange and purple sweet potato extract addition had a significant difference on the antioxidant activity with control and yogurt with white sweet potato extract. In conclusion, the difference colors in sweet potato influenced in the antioxidant activity in yogurt significantly. Sweet potato is potential for milk substitute in yogurt production due to oligosaccharide content and antioxidant activity.

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) is one of the main crops worldwide. However, systematic properties characterization of this crop is still required, particularly on the Malaysian local sweet potatoes. Hence, this study aims to determine the proximate composition and the energy value of five common varieties of local sweet potato (Anggun 1, Anggun 2, Anggun 3, White, and VitAto) in Malaysia. For each variety, three different parts of the tuberous root which were the skin, the cortex, and the mixture of cambium and parenchyma were characterized. The findings indicated that VitAto exhibited the highest starch (16.95% – 17.17%) and crude protein (0.86% – 1.15%) contents in all parts as compared to other varieties, hence reflecting its potentials to be further processed for a mass starch production. Among all the parts, the skin contained the highest crude protein, crude fat, ash and crude fibre, which can be further utilized to produce by-products such as animal feed. The findings in this study serve as a baseline for the future starch and byproducts production from local sweet potatoes.

Producing ‘Hawaiian Heritage’ cultivars can raise the market value of locally grown sweet potatoes and increase small farmer earnings in Hawaii. Twelve sweet potato breeding lines (Ipomea batatas L.), derived from the Hawaiian maternal parent ‘Mohihi’, together with four check varieties, were trialed under organic management conditions across three environments (site-year combinations) in Oahu, Hawaii (Waimānalo-2018, Waimānalo-2019 and Poamoho-2019). Trials were harvested five months after planting, consistent with local commercial production standards. There were significant differences in fresh harvest yield, post-curing yield, shape, and quality between environments and cultivars. The ‘Hawaiian Heritage’ lines HM 26 and HM 34 outperformed the commercial standard, demonstrating the potential use of traditional Hawaiian germplasm in modern breeding programs. Additionally, ‘Hawaiian Heritage’ lines (e.g., HM 32 and HM 17) with unique traits favored by the local community may be suitable breeding materials for niche markets.

These libraries are to be managed by librarians having been trained through services workshops on electronic system of running a library for all. Keyword: TBM, reading interest, Unpad, software ABSTRAKProvinsi Jawa Barat merupakan provinsi yang memiliki angka buta aksara mencapai angka 10 %.  Indeks Pembangunan Manusia  (IPM) di Jawa Barat terus ditingkatkan. Berbagai program dicanangkan untuk mendongkrak angka IPM tersebut agar menjadi lebih baik. Salah satu indikator yang diperhatikan adalah peningkatan minat baca masyarakat. Sumber inspirasi kegiatan ini adalah bahwa perpustakaan Desa dan TBM (Taman Bacaan Masyarakat) di Jawa Barat belum memiliki solusi praktis mengatasi masalah dalam mengembangkan perpustakaan/TBM yang mereka kelola. Belum ada kesiapan dalam menyelenggarakan layanan perpustakaan/TBM berbasis sistem. perpustakaan/TBM  masih memerlukan tambahan bahan bacaan. Pihak pengelola belum memiliki Tenaga Teknis yang siap mengelola koleksi bahan bacaan. Metode yang dilakukan adalah Survey Kebutuhan Informasi, Pendidikan dan Pelatihan , Konsultasi dan Focus Group Discussion (FDG) serta simulasi Ipteks, yakni diperkenalkan kepada para pengelola taman bacaan masyarakat dan perpustakaan desa adalah Sofware Pustaka Access Versi 0.1. Software ini dimanfaatkan untuk pengolahan koleksi bahan pustaka dengan mengunakan software Pustaka Acces Versi 0.1 yang digagas dan dikembangkan oleh staf pengajar pada Departemen Ilmu Informasi dan perpustakaan Fakultas Ilmu Komunikasi Unpad. Karya Utama kegiatan ini adalah berupa Software Pustaka Acces Versi 0.1, Modul  Pengolahan Koleksi, Modul Perpustakaan Sekolah dan Modul Pengelolaan Taman Bacaan Masyarakat. Software “Pustaka Access versi 0.1” dikembangkan dengan menggunakan Database Microsoft Access 2007.Oleh karena itu, Software ini hanya bisa digunakan pada komputer yang sudah terinstal Microsoft Office 2007 (atau Microsoft Office versi yang lebih baru). Modul pengolahan koleksi merupakan pedoman yang dapat digunakan dalam mengoperasikan system pengolahan koleksi berbasis elektronik. Modul perpustakaan sekolah, dapat digunakan bagi sekolah dalam menjalankan pengelolaan perpustakaan sekolahnya secara ringkas dan cepat. Modul Pengelolaan Taman Bacaan Masyarakat dapat digunakan oleh Taman Bacaan Masyarakat sebagai panduan pengelolaan dan pengembangan  Taman Bacaan Masyarakat.
