dc.description.abstractThis study aims to develop an acceptability of Alugbati kropek. Formulation and standardization are done following four varied treatments; treatment one (1) using 44%, treatment two (2) using 48%, treatment three (3) using 52% and treatment four (4) using 55% of alugbati puree. Treatment one (1) was selected as the best formulation based on the sensory evaluation. The Alugbati kropek has medium green color, slightly salty taste, moderate alugbati flavor, very slight fish flavor, very crispy texture and very crunchy texture. The physicochemical properties are the following: physicochemical properties include water activity of 0.475, moisture content of 5.06g/100g, crude ash of 2.92g/100g, crude protein of 3.86g/100g, crude fat of 2.86g/100g, and carbohydrates 87.03g/100g. Microbial analysis shows that aerobic plate count 70est CFU/g, total coliform count <10esl CFU/g, yeast and molds count 65est CFU/g. The total cost of producing a 100-grams pack of alugbati kropek was Php 36.23 and the market price was Php 37 per pack. The study developed an acceptable alugbati kropek to consumer, trained panelists with desirable sensory characteristics, proximate properties, microbial qualities, and good profitability.
