Abstract
Background: Dengue fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the Dengue virus with transmission through the mosquito vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus species. DHF cases have increased dramatically by 29 times since the last 2 years in Syiah Kuala Sub-district, where Gampong Peurada is located. Prevention of dengue cases can be done by avoiding the bites of mosquitoes that carry the disease virus. Some natural ingredients such as Serewangi are known to have properties as natural mosquito repellents because they have citronelal and citronelol phyto- chemical compounds. These ingredients will be more effective when made in the form of aromatic candles with active components of essential oils such as sere wangi and patchouli. These aromatic candles can be made by the community themselves by utilizing based on leftover materials such as used cooking oil. Objective: The production of these aromatic candles can be useful for self- consumption and even for the community's economic resources. Gampong Peurada is known to have a productive economic community group AGP Village (Ata Gampong Peurada) which was formed by the Government of Gampong Peurada, Syiah Kuala District, Banda Aceh through the Decree of the Village Head. Product development in this service is carried out so that AGP can add variants of products made from natural ingredients and expand the commercialization of its business so that it can improve the community's economy. Method: The main activities include community training and the addition of commercial products from business groups in Gampong Peurada. Result: Community training, packaging and intellectual property registration of the 'Cella' brand of aromatherapy candles were conducted. Conclusion: This program produced innovative aromatherapy candle products based on serewangi and patchouli, so as to increase product variants and expand business commercialization so as to improve the economy of the Gampong Peurada community in Banda Aceh.
