EMPOWERMENT START-UP THE ANTIOXIDANT CORN SILK TEA AND INSTAN POWDER DRINK AT SRAGI VILLAGE, BLITAR

Sragi Village is also pursuing efforts to develop regionally superior products which
are anticipated to become village income. Utilizing corn silk waste to create pow�der drinks and antioxidant dyes is anticipated to be a solution to the problem of
unused maize hair waste. Transfer of information, assistance, monitoring, and eval�uation are the means by which community service activities are conducted. The
results of the activity indicate that the assistance provided to the residents of Sragi
Village has been successful, allowing for the production of corn silk tea and instant
drink powder containing high levels of antioxidants that are produced from corn
silk waste. In addition, assistance with product packaging is provided in order to
develop two categories of packaging for the two types of beverages produced. In
addition, assistance is provided with marketing aspects, particularly those relating
to digital marketing through the use of Instagram and Shopee. It is anticipated that
the mentoring activities from production to marketing will be interdependent and
sustainable. The evaluation of mentoring activities beginning with SOP implemen�tation, production quality, packaging design, and student participation is deemed
satisfactory by all parties involved.
