INTRODUCTION

Situation Analysis

More and more people are health conscious of the food they intake, the
ingredients from fruits and vegetables and the nutritional benefits of a particular
product is a must for this aware people. Marang and okra can be a good intake
as it satisfies the need of a person who is aware of what they eat and wants to
lessen their sweet intake. A polvorón is a heavy, soft, and crumbly Spanish
shortbread of flour, sugar, milk, and nuts.

Marang (Artocarpus odoratissima) is native to the Philippines and can


thrive well in Mindanao's marginal and hilly areas and cultivated for its fruit in
Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, southern Thailand, and India Tripura. Marang is
most probably native to the Borneo in South East Asia. This fruit is, however,
widely cultivated in the Philippines. According to Plants for a Future, also known
as Joey oak, Madang, trap, or breadfruit cousin, marang trees are tropical
evergreen fruit trees native to Asia.

The marang is closely related to the jackfruit tree (Artocarpus


heterophyllus, US Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 and 11
according to California Polytechnic State University) and breadfruit tree
(Artocarpus altilis, USDA plant hardiness zones 10 and 11). This tree may grow
more than 40 feet tall in the wild, but it usually remains under 20 feet in
subtropical climates.
The marang bears large, 12-inch oblong fruit that ripens in September and
October. It is native to Borneo, Palawan, and Mindanao Island and is closely
related to the jackfruit and breadfruit trees which all belong to the same genus
Artocarpus. The brown variety has light to dark brown peel with off-white pulp,
and its fruit size weighs 1,250-1,700 grams with 6-7 percent edible part.
Likewise, the evergreen variety has green to light green peel and white pulp, and
its fruit size is heavier (1,300-1,800 grams), has more edible portions (10-15
percent), and is sweeter than the brown variety (Lim, 2015). The marang tree
grows up to 25 meters and is fruit-bearing within 4 to 5 years of cultivation.
Marang is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorous, iron, retinol,
beta-carotene, niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, and vitamin A and C.

Okra, also known as lady's-fingers, gumbo, or bhindi—is the essential


vegetable crop of the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It belongs to
the genus Abelmoschus and the family Malvaceae. The okra cultivation extends
throughout the tropics and warmer parts of temperate Asia. When it comes to
production, India leads the world. India is the largest okra producer globally, with
5,507,000 tonnes of production volume per year.

In the Philippines, Filipino farmers plant okra as it is a high-yielding crop


and provides a good source of income. Upon seeding, its green pods can be
harvested as early as 55 to 65 days. Surveys show that farmers can harvest 500
kilograms of up to one ton of okra pods per hectare, providing a net income
ranging from P80,000 to P120,000.

Okra has long been favored as a food for the health-conscious, as it


contains potassium, Vitamins B and C, folic acid, and calcium and is rich in
amino acids. It prevents anemia, promotes healthy skin and pregnancy, prevents
stomach ulcers, and improves the respiratory system. (Rita de la Cruz, DA
StratComms. Group). The Philippines okra area harvested increased from 2,907
ha in 2000 to 4,011 ha in 2019, growing at an average annual rate of 1.72%.
(Dataset Production Statistics - Crops, Crops Processed.)

The main problem with the marang seed is when they finish eating the
Marang seeds, they throw the Marang seed; they don't know the Marang seed,
which is a great help to the body. That's why I'm looking for a solution to preserve
more or give me an amount that pays more attention to me so that he doesn't
waste the seeds on the Marang seed. Marang okra polvoron is a new method
and innovation to reduce the said situation about the origins with less value. As a
result, it has become a new product suitable to solve the existing problem.

Furthermore, the Marang-okra Polvoron is a new byproduct of marang


seed and okra flower. This newly created product will provide a unique edge over
existing products in the market, potentially promoting both method and process.
Objectives of the Study

The study aims to create a Marang-okra Polvoron with the following


objectives: Create and design a Polvoron recipe; Revise the formula with added
materials and ingredients during the Testing of the product;

Test the product in terms of taste, aroma, flavor, texture, and safety of the
Marang-okra Polvoron.

Significance of the Study

This research on marang-okra polvoron provides customers with a new


twist flavor or recipe to the market. This study is necessary because it will help us
utilize marang seeds that are already non-sense after eating them. This research
will equip all the people with an appropriate method and process of Marang-okra
Polvoron.

This project is an additional in the polvoron market since most of us seek


organic yet healthy polvoron. This product will be an excellent opportunity for
everyone to have a new method and process for creating the marang seed and
okra flower into polvoron. The product also can be used as an example for
demonstration purposes in academic institutions.

Scope and Delimitation of Study

. The new recipe, practicality, and manufacturing of the marang-okra


polvoron were the only limitations of the process of this product.

People consume marang seed and okra flower from websites for a quick
and efficient approach for everyone's consumption. All the materials utilized to
create the recipe, process, and methods for these products were readily
available in the local market.
CHAPTER II

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

These chapters discuss the literature on the new process and method of
making a polvoron that could use to develop. Related studies could aid
researchers in gathering data; the study's conceptual framework could ensure
the research project follows the appropriate order.

The marang is probably native to the Borneo in South East Asia. This fruit
is, however, widely cultivated in the Philippines. An evergreen tree, up to 25 m
tall, 40 cm in diameter, sometimes with low buttresses; twigs 4-10 m thick with
long yellow to red, spreading hairs and stipule-scar rings; stipules ovate, 108 cm
long, tallow to red hairy.
The large fruit is esteemed for the sweet, juicy, aromatic perianths
surrounding the seeds, which can be eaten fresh or used as an ingredient in
cakes. Many people rate this fruit better in taste and flavor than jackfruit.

The edible portion (i.e., the fleshy perianth) of marang fruit is 24-33% of
fresh fruit weight; 100 g edible part contains water 65.7-84.2 g protein 0.8-1.47 g,
fat 0.2-.3g, carbohydrates 32.4g, ash 0.5-0.8g, fiber 0.6-0.77g, calcium 17mg,
phosphorus 35 mg, iron 2.1 mg, and vitamin C 30 mg. The energy value is 265-
510 KJ per 100g.

Marang seeds contain protein 11-15 %, fat about 20%, and carbohydrates
54-72% on a dry weight basis.

Marang (Artocarpus odoratissima), an indigenous fruit, shows some


potential as a popular product for dessert both here and abroad. It is similar to
jackfruit and breadfruit but smaller and slightly bigger than breadfruit. Marang is
grown in Mindanao's marginal and hilly areas and Luzon and Visayas. This fruit is
esteemed because of its palatable taste, pleasant odor (especially when ripe),
and nutritional value. It contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, crude fiber, ash,
calcium, phosphorus, iron, retinol, beta-carotene, vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin,
niacin, and ascorbic acid.

A recent study in the province of Negros Occidental is seeking to develop


its marang industry through innovations as the fruit is considered a potential crop
for sustainable agriculture. Farmers sold marang fruits and marang-based
products and delicacies such as ice cream, candies, polvoron, jam, caramel tarts,
and coffee during the festival.

The festival aims to help rural farmers sell their products, establish
livelihood and business opportunities, and showcase the excellent quality and
distinctive taste of marang produced in Negros Occidental. (PNA) It has also
been traditionally used by ancient people in treating and preventing numerous
types of diseases because of its medicinal properties. It contains a high
nutritional value, which has beneficial effects on the body.

It contains vitamins A, B, C, beta-carotene, dietary fiber, retinol, thiamin,


riboflavin, pantothenic acid, and niacin. It contains minerals such as zinc, iron,
phosphorus, protein, potassium, calcium, manganese, copper, and magnesium.

(DatasetProduction Statistics - Crops, Crops Processed.

Okra contains antioxidants called polyphenols, including vitamins A and C.


It also includes a lectin protein that may inhibit human cancer cell growth. Studies
using concentrated compounds from okra showed they inhibited the growth of
breast cancer cells by up to 63%. Further research is in need for definitive proof
of okra's cancer-blocking properties. Okra is low in calories but packed full of
nutrients. The vitamin C in okra helps support healthy immune function. Okra is
also rich in vitamin K, which helps your body clot blood. By WebMD.com

The polvoron is a semi-sweet powdered milk candy made from powdered


milk, toasted flour, sugar, and butter or margarine. From the simple and
traditional Polvoron Recipe, it has come a long way to several flavors. These
include pinipig, peanut, chocolate, cookies, cream flavors, etc. Polvoron is a
delicacy loved by Filipinos.

COOKING PROCEDURE:

Sift all-purpose flour and toast in a frying pan over medium heat, stirring
continuously with a wooden spoon, and toast it for about 15-18 minutes or until
light brown. Fire off and let it cool slightly before adding to your dry ingredients.

Transfer toasted flour into sugar and milk powder mixture and mix
well to combine. Melt the butter and margarine together in a saucepan over
medium heat. (You can also use either margarine or butter only.) Fire off,
let it cool slightly, pour melted butter into the toasted flour, milk, and sugar
mixture, and mix well. Add your vanilla essence and mix well until blended.

Transfer the polvoron mixture to a tray or large plate. Form the mix
with your desired size and shape using your polvoron plunger by packing
the variety into the molder. Lay each polvoron on a tray and chill for at least
20 minutes or until firm. Then wrap polvoron individually with your wax
paper or clear cellophane. Twist both ends of wax paper in the opposite
direction to seal.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

This study supported by the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) Theory,


developed by E.M. Rogers in 1962, is one of the oldest social science theories. It
originated in communication to explain how, over time, an idea or product gains
momentum and diffuses (or spreads) through a specific population or social
system. The result of this diffusion is that people adopt a new idea, behavior, or
product as part of a social system.

Adoption means that a person does something different than what they
had previously (i.e., purchase or use a new product, acquire and perform a new
behavior, etc.). The key to adoption is that the person must perceive the idea,
behavior, or product as new or innovative. It is through this that diffusion is
possible.

Conceptual Model

The conceptual framework is based on the Asplin et al. (2003), Input's


Process and Output model. Input, process, and output are the three components
of the research. The initial stage of this research is the Input, which is decided by
the concepts or sources of information used, such as those found in the relevant
literature. It might include the supplies and materials, the tools and equipment
used in the process, and methods of making the marang seeds and okra flower
polvoron. The first thing to consider before fabricating the product output is the
formula and recipe this way. It believes the existing products avoid duplication
and ensure the original and uniqueness of our product.

After the process and methods, we proceed to Test. It tests whether the
product is beneficial or has a significant contribution to an individual's need and
which to improve after the Testing. It is required to assess the product's
effectiveness and identify whether there are aspects of the methods and process
that must improve. If the process and procedures lack some materials and
ingredients, a revision is required to ensure the affectivity.

It also helps enhance the process and methods if any improvement is


needed. In the last operation, an evaluation of the proposed product is suitable
for the market. A thorough assessment assesses the product's method and
process from the market and consumer perspective.

Research Design

This research is a developmental-experimental study that employs a


quantitative approach to computation methodologies. According to Richey (n.d.),
developmental design is the systematic study of planning, producing, and
assessing instructional programs, processes, and products that must meet
internal consistency and effectiveness standards. It is a circumstance in which
the product development process is analyzed and described, and the end
product is assessed.

Furthermore, developmental research aims to generate knowledge based


on data collected systematically from experience. It is a practical study that
allows for the Testing of "theory" that has only been theorized and the validation
of practice passed through mostly unchecked tradition. It's also an experimental
study because the researchers were primarily interested in creating research with
a high level of casual validity, which refers to the accuracy of statements about
cause-and-effect relationships (Mitchell, 2015).

Quantitative research focuses on objective measurements and statistical,


mathematical, or numerical analysis of data gathered via polls, questionnaires,
and surveys. Its main goal is to collect numerical data and generalize it across
groups of individuals or to describe a specific scenario (Babbie, 2010). The
purpose of quantitative research is to find out how many people think, act, or feel
in a particular manner.

Research Instrument

The researchers employed a questionnaire as a study tool to determine


the product's safety by surveying respondents' satisfaction levels. The
researchers created the questionnaire, which

the adviser then validated. The survey questionnaire was utilized as a


study tool to collect relevant data on the okra candy product's aroma, taste,
texture, and sensory appearance.

The following variable indicators were used to measure the variables


involved: Taste, Aroma, Texture, and Appearance.

Data gathering procedure

The researchers obtained and completed the evaluated questionnaires and a


signed authorization to conduct the survey. After, the researchers conducted the
study on ten expert bakers and 20 random respondents (professionals, mothers,
and students).

Thirty total respondents evaluated the product. The data gathered via
questionnaires were counted, statistically evaluated, and interpreted.

Evaluator

The population of the respondents was determined via purposeful, simple


random sampling. As defined by Berman (2017), simple random sampling is the
most extensively used probability sampling approach, owing to its ease of
implementation and analysis. Simple sampling has the advantage of allowing
researchers to assess sample results using statistical methods. Thirty (30)
persons were purposefully chosen to participate in the study. Twenty (20) of them
were random respondents (professionals, mothers, students), and ten (10) were
expert bakers.

Statistical Treatment

With the adviser's help, the assessment was carried out by articulating the
evaluation. Furthermore, an evaluation sheet was intended to confirm the
polvoron's flexibility by examining the aroma, texture, taste, and appearance of
the marang-okra product. For averaging, the study utilized weighted mean
statistics.
CHAPTER IV

PRESENTATION OF ANALYSIS, INTERPRETATION, AND FINDINGS OF THE

STUDY

This chapter describes the manufacturing process. The procedure


concisely defines the recommendations and techniques required for the product's
effectiveness. This includes both the production process and its application. The
story consists of a satisfaction index for taste, aroma, texture, appearance, and
packaging.

Analysis and Interpretation of Data

The data were gathered and interpreted using the indicators used in the
consumer's sensory perception of food attributes. The data were analyzed in
taste, aroma, texture, appearance, and packaging.
