KRADINAN – The real work study period has entered its third week. IAIN Tulungagung KKN participants began carrying out work programs from each division. One of the divisions that carries out the program is the post economics division 1 Kradinan Village.
Wednesday 7 August 2019 all members of the economic division visited the house of one of the dairy entrepreneurs in the village. The activity was carried out to carry out their work program, namely knowing how milk is processed so that it becomes milk that is ready for consumption.
This was motivated by the large number of dairy cows producing milk in Kradinan Village. However, Some of the milk produced by the community is sold to milk collectors. At the dairy business, they learn while practicing how to process milk.
First, they were taught how to cook milk by heating it on the stove until it was cooked. This first process must be very careful, Don't let the cooking time for the milk be less or more. This can damage the quality of the milk produced. After cooking, The milk is cooled and filtered to remove lumps of milk when heated (when there is).
The cooled milk is then mixed with liquid sugar to add sweetness to the milk. When mixing milk with liquid sugar, The milk must be stirred continuously so that the sugar mixes quickly.
Nah, Here there are things that must be done, namely tasting before entering the next process. The amount of sweetness in milk is also something that must be considered carefully, because if the milk is too sweet it will make you feel bored easily or in Javanese, irritable.
The next process is dividing the milk into several parts.
After that add essence. Essence is useful for adding aroma and flavor to milk. There are several kinds of flavors produced, including chocolate flavor, melon, strawberry and also vanilla. Lastly is the packaging process. There are two types of packaging for dairy products, namely bottles and small cups.
The milk is put into a package and then pressed when the package is in the shape of a small cup. The milk processing process is complete and the milk is ready to be consumed.
After going through a long process, Now the economic division knows how to process milk so that it can be consumed by the public. The main objective of this learning is so that later KKN participants will be successful 2 IAIN Tulungagung is able to process its own milk in their environment and also as a provision for conducting outreach regarding milk processing.
It is hoped that the socialization that will be carried out will foster great motivation and interest among the people of Kradinan village to process their own dairy milk.. So they don't sell it directly to milk collectors. (*)
