This research is motivated by efforts to increase the entrepreneurial skills of students through agribusiness activities in the framework of empowerment. Pondok pesantren is the oldest non-formal educational institution in Indonesia which is engaged in the religious sector. The learning model is packaged flexibly and is not diploma oriented. This boarding school is oriented towards developing the entrepreneurial spirit of the santri with the ultimate goal so that the students can open a business unit and be independent. This study describes the implementation of empowerment of students through agribusiness activities related to the input, process, and impact of empowerment. This research uses qualitative methods with interview, observation, and documentation techniques. The research findings show that: (1) input for empowerment, namely students, natural resources, curriculum, capital / funds, and partnerships; (2) the empowerment process is carried out through several stages, namely (1) business training; (2) capitalization; (3) assistance; and (4) marketing; (3) the impact of empowerment which is carried out, namely the number of santri alumni of Islamic boarding schools who are independent and able to explore through the management of idle land into agricultural, livestock and fishery areas in increasing the income assets of the formed business groups.

HIDROLISIS POLISAKARIDA XILAN JERAMI MENGGUNAKAN LARUTAN ASAM KUAT UNTUK BAHAN DASAR PRODUKSI BIOETANOL ABSTRAKHidrolisis merupakan proses pemecahan polisakarida (gula kompleks) menjadi polimer yang lebih sederhana, mengingat syarat utama dari proses fermentasi untuk produksi bioetanol adalah gula monomer atau dimer. Polisakarida yang digunakan yakni hasil pretreatment dan ekstraksi jerami. Penggunaan cara kimiawi pada proses hidrolisis ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan hasil yang optimum dengan waktu yang singkat. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah hidrolisis asam dengan membandingkan dua jenis larutan asam kuat yaitu asam sulfat (H2SO4) dan asam klorida (HCl) dengan konsentrasi masig-masing sebesar 0.5 N. Hidrolisis dilakukan dalam kondisi pada suhu 115 0C selama 60 menit pada tekanan 1 atm. Gula sederhana yang dihasilkan telah diuji dengan uji gula total, dengan hasil bahwa gula pereduksi diketahui dari selisih gula total pada kontrol tanpa perlakuan. Uji gula total dilakukan menggunakan metode Dubois, pengujian ini dilakukan pada hasil optimum dari hidrolisis yaitu asam klorida (HCl). Sampel yang diujikan yaitu, xilan (XI) dan kontrol (-) xilan (k-x). Analisis gula total menghasilkan sebanyak 2.906 mg/L untuk XI, sebanyak 728 mg/L untuk (k-x) dengan hasil bahwa  perolehan gula pereduksi sebesar 2.124 mg/L. Selisih hasil gula total yang diperoleh antara perlakuan dan kontrol mengindikasikan bahwa proses hidrolisis berhasil mendapatkan gula pereduksi.Kata kunci: gula kompleks, hidrolisis asam, gula sederhana, gula pereduksi dan gula total. HYDROLYSIS OF POLYCOXARIDA XYLANE STRAW USING STRONG ACID ACID SOLUTION FOR BASIC MATERIALS OF BIOETANOL PRODUCTION ABSTRACTHydrolysis is the process of breaking polysaccharides (sugar complexes) into simpler polymers, considering the main requirements of the fermentation process for bioethanol production are monomeric or dimeric sugars. The polysaccharides used are the results of pretreatment and extraction of straw. The use of chemical methods in the hydrolysis process aims to obtain optimum results with a short time. The research method used is acid hydrolysis by comparing two types of strong acid solutions namely sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) with a concentration of each of 0.5 N. Hydrolysis is carried out under conditions at a temperature of 115 0C for 60 minutes at a pressure of 1 atm. The simple sugar produced was tested with a total sugar test, the result of the reducing sugar was known from the total sugar difference in the control without treatment. The total sugar test was carried out using the Dubois method, this test was carried out on the optimum results of hydrolysis, namely hydrochloric acid (HCl). The sample tested were, xylan (XI) and control (-) xylan (k-x). Analysis of total sugar yielded as much as 2,906 mg / L for XI, as much as 728 mg / L for (k-x) the result of the acquisition of reducing sugars was 2,124 mg / L. The difference of the result total sugar produced between treatment and control indicates that the hydrolysis process succeeded in obtaining reducing sugars.Keywords: complex sugar, acid hydrolysis, simple sugar, reducing sugar and total sugar

Sansevieria and Cymbopogon plants are widely available in Indonesia. This plant has many benefits for us. This plant is usually used as a kitchen spice and herbal medicine because of the benefits of the plant. The purpose of this study was to determine the combination extract of Lidah Mertua (Sansevieria verticilata) and Sereh (Cymbopogon nardus L.) in different drying as anti-bacteria as anti-microbial. The method used in this research is true experimental by comparing the control class. The results obtained from this study indicate a combination of Sansevieria and Cymbopogon plant drying 48 hours more effectively inhibits the rate of microbial growth than 24 hours.
