Cutting is part of cooking activities commonly known as the process of dividing using a knife. As for the cutting tools, there are various types, ranging from manual to automatic, from using knives to sensors. In the report, it is mentioned that the modification of the cutting tool involves an existing fruit cutting tool that was then modified by the author into a tool that divides breadfruit into 8 parts using a spring-based pressing system. This cutting tool is suitable for SMEs such as sellers of fried breadfruit, who can sell or even produce it on a large scale, thereby increasing production capacity. The research method used is an experiment by conducting a literature study, such as collecting data from journals, scientific articles, and books relevant to the discussed topic. The design of the breadfruit cutting tool produces uniform fruit slices in 8 seconds using the breadfruit cutting tool and 1 minute 37 seconds using a kitchen knife. This results in a time difference of 1 minute 29 seconds, making the breadfruit cutting tool much more time-efficient and increasing production capacity compared to using a kitchen knife. One thing to note about this breadfruit cutting tool is the sharpness of its blade, which can be sharpened again using a sharpening tool when it becomes dull.

This study explores the potential of breadfruit leaves (Artocarpus altilis) as a raw material in making skin care soap. Breadfruit leaves are known to contain active compounds such as saponins and flavonoids that have antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidant properties. This study aims to test the effectiveness of breadfruit leaf extract in improving the quality of skin care soap. In addition, this study also highlights the use of breadfruit trees at SDN Kutisari 2 Surabaya, which is one of the Adiwiyata schools. This school utilizes the environment as a means of learning and maintaining the existence of plants, including breadfruit trees, which function as a source of food and traditional medicine. The results showed that soap with breadfruit leaf extract had better cleaning quality and hydrating ability compared to soap without extract. These findings indicate that breadfruit leaves can be a useful ingredient in making skin care products, as well as providing inspiration for the development of more natural and effective soap products, and supporting efforts to conserve natural resources in the school environment.

Indonesian people widely consume tomato sauce as a condiment or food seasoning. The natural thickening agent commonly used in tomato sauce is starch, generally based on tapioca or cornstarch. The use of breadfruit starch as a thickener is rarely studied and needs to be researched scientifically. This research aimed to evaluate the role of breadfruit starch as a thickener in tomato sauce. This research began with extracting breadfruit starch through wet milling and continued with making tomato sauce based on breadfruit starch. The concentration of breadfruit starch was varied in 3 levels, namely 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%. Commercial tomato sauce was also evaluated and used as a comparison. Viscosity, color, and organoleptic analyses were conducted on tomato sauce products. The results showed that tomato sauce based on 1.5% breadfruit starch had a higher viscosity (3220.5 cP) than the addition of 0.5% (572 cP) and 1% (1093.5 cP) starch, but it was still much lower than the viscosity of commercial tomato sauce (6922.5 cP). In terms of color, breadfruit starch-based tomato sauce is not much different from commercial tomato sauce in terms of brightness (L: 32-35), redness (a: 9-11), and yellowness (b: 10-15). After organoleptic analysis, the panelists rated the breadfruit starch-based tomato sauce as mediocre (average score 3), compared to the commercial tomato sauce, which the panelists preferred (score 4). These findings indicate that breadfruit starch has potential as a thickener for tomato sauce because it can resemble the quality of tomato sauce in terms of color. However, the concentration of added breadfruit starch still needs to be increased to increase the thickness of the tomato sauce and its acceptance by consumers.

Salamsari Village is a village located in the southern part of Boja District, Kendal Regency. This village is located in the highlands of Kendal Regency where the majority of Salamsari village residents work as agricultural laborers and traders. Most of the food processing businesses are housewives. Several business actors who named their group joined the name Jajanan Khas Ndeso which sells several processed snacks including: various criping (criping cassava, banana, taro, breadfruit, etc.), various peyek (peyek nuts, anchovies, dele, etc.), kembang goyang, cendol savory, widaran, tempe chips, lumpit, and others. The aim of this activity is to improve financial management in the Ndeso Typical Snacks business group in Salamsari Village, Boja District, Kendal Regency. In running their business, they have not managed it well, meaning that in terms of administration, there has been no proper and correct recording. For some business actors, there are even bookkeeping or financial management that is still mixed up with their household finances, so they cannot know for sure how much profit they have earned from the business, as well as difficulties in knowing the development of the business they are running. Based on this, the service team has an interest to carry out outreach related to financial management, including about bookkeeping which must be separate from household finances, as well as simple reporting with related businesses. So that you can know the profits and financial position so that you can determine the direction of business development better and increase. We will publish the output targets from this trial in national journals, HKI, YouTube and through mass media.

Makbon sub district is a sub district located in Makbon District, Sorong District, Southwest Papua Province. The Topographical conditions of the villages in Makbon District are mostly located in coastal areas with a total of 15 villages/sub districts.

Increasing development in villages is really needed by the community, especially to stimulate economic activities. One of the contributions of the Saint Paul Sorong Polytechnic in Papua, especially in Sorong, is providing community service. There are several things that the lecturer team can do to help the community, namely making sub district boundary moments, making street signs and making street lights for the community service in Makbon to develop facilities and human resources (HR) for the quality of life of the people in Makbon district, Sorong regency, Southwest Papua Province.
