PENGEMBANGAN HANDOUT BIOTEKNOLOGI TENTANG PEMBUATAN NATA DE NIRA SIWALAN (Borassus flabellifer L.) SEBAGAI BAHAN AJAR BERBASIS POTENSI LOKAL BAGI SISWA KELAS XII MAN PAMEKASAN

Abstract

Siwalan (Borassus flabellifer L.) is widespread in Pamekasan one in the village Kertagenah Laok Kadur district. Potential abundant palm still has the potential to be developed into a usefull and economically product one is nata de nira siwalan. Quality of nata can be influenced by the type and concentration of sugar. The result of this research could be developed into teaching materials in the form of handouts for class XII students MAN Pamekasan. Purpose of this study stated to produce Biotechnology handout for XII students of MAN Pamekasan. This research is conduc-ted by 2 step that is experimental research and developing handout based on the result of experimental study. Expe-rimental research is aim to assess the influence of type and concentration of sugar to the weight of nata de nira siwalan. Result of this research showed that there is significant effect of type and concentration of sugar on the quality of nata de nira siwalan by fiber content of nata layer. Biotechnology handout was fit for use in assisting the teaching and learning activity with the percentage <p> 96,96% by an Microbiology expert and 96,05% by teaching materials expert.
