CHAPTER 1

PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND This chapter provides an introduction to this research study, including the introduction, background of the study, objectives of the study, theoretical framework, conceptual framework, scope and delimitation and definition of terms.

INTRODUCTION Burger is a sandwich consisting of one or more cooked patties of ground meat, usually beef, placed inside a sliced bun. Hamburgers are often served with lettuce, bacon, tomato, onion, pickles, cheese and condiments such as mustards, mayonnaise, ketchup, relish and green chili. The term hamburger originally derives from Hamburg, Germany’s second largest city. In High German, Burg means “fortified settlement” or “fortified refuge” and is a widespread component of place names. Hamburger in German is the domonym of Hamburg, similar to Frankfurter and wiener, names for the other meat- based foods and demonyms of the cities of Frankfurt and Vienna (Wien), respectively.

It may be vicious habits, physical activity and nutrition. To address and to be aware of this current situation or problem that most Filipino people are having, researchers would like to the target population to lessen the risk of having heart disease/ cardiovascular, stroke, hypertension or high blood pressure and even risk of getting cancer. The study centre is the health benefits getting from modification of the traditional beef patty to banana blossom patty. The researchers desire to make best use of the resources for known as tropical country. Banana tree is major staple food crop for millions of people in developing countries. In the Philippines, bananas are cooked in ways that are similar to potatoes. A Filipino person relates the banana tree is the ideal to look up to when it comes to a no wastage policy because almost parts of banana tree can be used. Researchers conduct a study through the method of questioning how banana blossom can be tasted like beef patty and what are the health benefits will banana blossom produce. Here are the following; bananas help lower cholesterol, it facilitates reduction of cholesterol level because of four main water- soluble fibres such as pectin, psyllium, guar gum and beta glucan effectively lower without causing any kind of disturbance. Another health benefit is bananas cut down risk of stroke.

Bananas reduce risk of various types of 3

cancer especially bowel cancer because it has antioxidants and dietary fibre. Researchers conducted a trial for tasting banana blossom and making it like a beef patty.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The objective of this research is to develop and evaluate the health benefits of banana blossom compared with the usual beef patty. This banana blossom patty an alternative burger patty and cheaper in cost compared with the existing beef patty. a. To develop a banana blossom patty that comprises (composition of banana patty.. ingredients) b. To improve the packaging materials for the proposed banana blossom patty c. To provide an alternative process and ingredients for a burger patty d. To evaluate the banana blossom patty as substitute to the existing beef patty for effective alternative use in burger sandwich.

Get your banana blossom Remove the matured bracts but save all the young banana fingers. Wash thoroughly in running water and rinse well. Chop thinly (young bracts and fingers) and cook with small amount of boiling water until tender. Drain and set aside. Saute onions and garlic. Mix with the cooked banana blossoms together with the rest of ingredients. Fry two spoonful of mixture until golden brown.

OUTPUT ‘BANANA BLOSSOM PATTY’

7 SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY

The study aims to modify the poor lifestyle of the consumer by improving the health benefits from the burger consumption. The researchers would like to determine the difference of existing product- traditional beef patty and new invented productbanana blossom patty. The aspect considered for this study is pricing and costing, taste, distinctiveness and packaging of the two different products. Variables other than what is specified will not be treated in the research. Marketing strategy is not included to the study.

8 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Consumer -being aware of what we eat is imperative to an overall healthy and happy life. Manufacturer -due to the distinctiveness of the study, it may be a magnet for other consumer to try the new product because of the health benefits and cheap cost. Researcher -would like to study the benefits and help the people to modify their lifestyle and to apply the innovation in all works. Educational Significance -this study is important to the researchers for applying all the theoretical knowledge into concrete facts. Technological Significance -this study can enhance quality of life by producing a new idea from the natural resources Socio- economic Significance -this study is to promote economic prosperity, a healthy community, and social wellbeing.

14 RESEARCH LOCALE

The researchers conducted the study by giving some interviews to the respondents of Central Colleges of the Philippines or CCP.

15 PROFILE OF THE RESPONDENTS

A total of 50 respondents were interviewed. 48% were female and 52% were male. 34% of them are 13 years old, 66% are 14 to 25 years old. 100% of the respondents are students.

16 SAMPLING TECHNIQUE

17 DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE

In order to come out certain information, lots of effort in searching is involved. This chapter includes the methods of research used, the sources of data and procedures on gathering data such as interviews, internet surfing and some related articles and blogs. ▪ Interview- large number of information, opinion and exercise are required to complete the data. The researchers consult people who were very much involved in this kind of study. Gathering information are done through asking about the problem, opinion that will contribute in doing research study and experience the locate effects of it. The researchers conducted interviews and asked some questions that will be helpful to the study. ▪ Research- it also play one of the important roles in data gathering. It is major instrument used in data gathering because it is very available and accessible to collect information.
