Abstract

Coconut is a plant that has many uses that grows very well in almost all regions in Indonesia. Banyuasin is the largest coconut plantation producing region in South Sumatra. The main product of coconut processing is Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO). The process of taking coconut milk cream for making VCO or for other purposes produces coconut milk in sufficient amount. But usually this skim is only discarded because it does not produce oil. The use of coconut milk skim is interesting because it can add value to the coconut processing and reduce the waste produced. as an effort to increase the nutritional consumption of the community with the attraction of the diversity of its products, it also aims to increase the durability of the product so as to overcome the problem of space and time limitations. The composition of skim coconut is similar to cow's milk, so that special treatment can be consumed directly. This activity is expected to help government programs in tackling food and nutrition scarcity by producing cheap and affordable coconut skim milk. The results showed that the assistance of making skim milk from coconut was quite attractive and quite liked by the participants.
