Corn is widely cultivated in Andaleh Village, Luak Sub-district, Lima Puluh Kota Regency. The type of corn that cultivated in this village is dent corn (Zea mays var. indentata), which often used as animal feed, especially poultry feed. Dent corn has a tooth-shaped seed, contains high carbohydrates (starch), and has a hard texture. The characteristic of this corn form is that the seeds have an indentation in the middle or top of the seed. The purpose of this programs was to increased the knowledge Andaleh Village community, Luak District, about the utilization of local food, especially dent corn through the transition technology of corn processing to be corn nuggets. The activity began with provided counseling on sanitation practices, including personal sanitation, equipment sanitation, and processing sanitation, as well as good manufacturing practice. Corn nuggets were made from a mixture of chicken and corn in a ratio of 1: 0.2. Through this programs, the community will be able to apply hygiene and sanitation in food processing, and have expertise in processing corn into new products like nuggets, thereby can increase the utilization of local foodstuffs and improve the community's economy.
