After this process, the hard rind of rnelinjo fruit is discarded. then the melinjo fruit is pounded or ground to form thin pieces. data collection is carried out by making direct observations on matters relating to the problem under study and referring to books, the internet and other sources that have to do with the preparation of the research The melinjo cracker makers usually carry out the process of forming thin chips on this melinjo traditionally which is stacked with stones on the foundation in stages. This study applied a processing system for emping melinjo crackers with a milling system. This grinding aims to facilitate the process of forming melinjo fruit into thin pieces.
