dc.description.abstractSquash Tapioca Pearl was developed as a new variant of tapioca with health benefits. The study aimed to standardize the formulation and process, determine the sensory qualities, microbiological and physicochemical properties, consumer acceptability, shelf life and production cost, and create a marketing plan. Three different formulations were tested, with treatment 3 being the best based on the ranking test conducted by 10 trained panelists and were accepted by 100 consumer-type panelists during the acceptability test held at DMMMSU-MLUC, City of San Fernando and Bauang, La Union. The product was found safe for consumption based on the results of its microbiological properties and physicochemical properties provided by the Department of Science and technology, with a comparable price to the leading types of tapioca pearls across the country. The marketing plan helped identify the strategies and assess the marketability, making Squash Tapioca Pearl, a healthy option for health conscious consumers.
