Getasan Village, Getasan District, Semarang Regency, is one of the tourist villages that are often visited by tourists. This area is a village with cool air conditions, the most yellow pumpkin producer in Semarang Regency.

This snack is produced by a group of housewives who are members of UPPKS Mugi Rahayu. Yellow pumpkin produced by agriculture in Getasan Village, Semarang Regency has advantages, based on the results of research that has been carried out, it has a fairly high antioxidant content, namely flavonoids (248 mg / gEQ) and carotenoids. This metabolite compound produces a high antioxidant effect with an IC50 value using the ABTS method of 92.137 ppm and Metal Ion-Chelating Assay of 94.151 ppm. The aims of this PKM activity is to increase the knowledge and understanding of UMKM members towards production technology innovations which will further be able to increase the sales turnover of processed yellow pumpkin products. The method used in this activity, in addition to being given knowledge, understanding of yellow pumpkin innovations, also carried out pretests, postes and training on the production of yellow pumpkin cosmetics, including soap and yellow pumpkin shampoo. Evaluation of the understanding of the material was carried out by comparing between the prestes and postes of the participants. PKM activities went smoothly and the participants' enthusiasm was very high. This can be seen during the presentation of the material and product manufacturing training, participants were very enthusiastic about asking questions and had high curiosity. Participants wanted to try to make innovative shampoos and soaps from yellow pumpkin with attractive packaging so as to increase sales of processed yellow pumpkin.Â
