Indonesia has many types of junk food that have a strong taste, but are generally not nutritionally balanced, namely high in fat, salt, or sugar and low in fiber. One of the most popular is nuggets which are generally made from meat. As a healthier alternative, nuggets are made using oyster mushrooms which are low in fat and higher in fiber, and combined with gluten-free and high-fiber corn and tapioca flour to replace wheat flour which contains gluten. This study aims to determine the effect of the combination of corn and tapioca flour on the physicochemical characteristics of oyster mushroom nuggets. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with 5 treatments in duplicate. The formulation was used with a combination of corn and tapioca flour, namely 60: 0 (P1), 45: 15 (P2), 30: 30 (P3), 15: 45 (P4), and 0: 60 (P5). The results of the analysis have an effect (P <0.05) on chemical characteristics with a range (db%) of ash content of 3.9% -4.71%; fat content 1.37% - 7.76%; protein content 6.79% - 18.79%; carbohydrate content 71.46% - 77.43%; crude fiber 3.9% - 8.27%, and on physical characteristics with a textured range of 1.1N-2.69 N; color L 50.55- 53.73; color a 2.78- 4.64; color b 10.89-13.71. The implications of this study indicate that online substitution into mushrooms with a combination of corn flour and tapioca can affect the nutritional value and quality of nuggets.

Food security is a fundamental aspect of independent and sustainable village development. Kajarharjo Village has abundant natural resource potential, such as cassava and various herbal plants. However, the utilization of this potential is still less than optimal, both in terms of food processing and the implementation of environmentally friendly agriculture. This condition encourages the need for community service activities oriented towards food innovation and strengthening sustainable agriculture. This service activity was carried out using a participatory and applied approach at the Kajarharjo Village Hall. The main target is the village community, especially housewives and farmers. The program is implemented through two main activities, namely: (1) training in making cassava leaf nuggets as a nutritious food, an alternative local product, and a household business opportunity; and (2) training in making organic boosters from natural ingredients as a more environmentally friendly substitute for chemical fertilizers. Implementation methods include counseling, demonstrations, direct practice, and interactive discussions to ensure active community involvement. The results of the activities show an increase in community knowledge and skills. Housewives are able to process cassava leaves into products with nutritional and economic value, while farmers gain skills in mixing organic boosters that can improve soil quality and agricultural yields without relying on chemical fertilizers. The participants' enthusiasm was also evident in their active participation in the practical exercises and their desire to apply the knowledge gained in their daily activities. In conclusion, this activity successfully encouraged the utilization of local potential in Kajarharjo Village through food innovation and organic farming. Empowering the community through cassava leaf processing and organic fertilizer production not only strengthens food security but also opens up business opportunities, maintains environmental health, and supports the development of an independent, healthy, and sustainable village.

Nugget is processed mashed meat. Several types of fish such as tuna, tilapia, and snapper have the potential to increase sales value and can be used as raw material for nuggets, because apart from having quite high proteins, they also have thick flesh. Carrot flour has high levels of fiber and also high levels of beta-carotene. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of fish nuggets which were high in fiber and beta-carotene with variations in the addition of carrot flour, tapioca flour and to find out the highest level of preference for fish nuggets. research using a completely randomized design (CRD) 2 factors with a comparison of carrot flour and tapioca flour and variations of fish species. The best chemical test results were the comparison of carrot flour: tapioca flour (40%:20%) with tuna fish with beta-carotene content of 6.69 μg/g, crude fiber content of 36.54%. The highest preference sensory test result is the comparison of carrot flour with tapioca flour (40%: 20%) with the type of tilapia meat with a color test result of 3.14 (likes), taste test 3.18 (likes), aroma test 3.20 (likes), texture test 3.29 (likes), and overall preference test 3.82 (likes). ). Fish nuggets made from tapioca flour and carrot flour can be a food that has high levels of crude fiber and beta-carotene.
