...RESEARCH PLAN Title: UTILIZATION OF AMPALAYA (Momordica charantia) AND KANGKONG (Ipomoea aquatica) IN INSTANT DRIED NOODLES PRODUCTION Proponent: Ceanle C. Traza Background of the Study/ Questions to be addressed Ampalaya (Momordica charantia), also known as “Bitter Melon” or “Bitter Gourd” was endorsed by the Department of Health (DOH) in the Philippines as an alternative herbal medicine for liver problems. Researches about ampalaya have proven that it increases the production of beta cells by the pancreas, thus improving the body’s ability to produce insulin to control the blood sugar for diabetes. Likewise, its fruits and leaves are superior sources of Vitamin B, iron, calcium, phosphorus and rich in beta carotene. On the other hand, Kangkong (Ipomoea aquatica) commonly known as “Water Spinach” is rich in iron, calcium, riboflavin and source of the antioxidant vitamins C and A. It has long been used in Southeast Asia as a traditional herbal medicine for treatment and prevention for ailments. With this, study aims to produce and compare a healthy noodles made out of Ampalaya (Momordica charantia) and Kangkong (Ipomoea aquatica) to commercial one. The vegetables that are selected could help each other’s needs because of its nutritional facts. Producing noodles with healthy ingredients may help people avoid high risks and continue living healthy. Objectives The study generally aims to utilize Ampalaya (Momordica charantia) and Kangkong (Ipomoea aquatica) in...

...1. Blue Curacao - is a liqueur flavored with the dried peel of the laraha citrus fruit, grown on the island of Curaçao. A non-native plant similar to an orange, the laraha developed from the sweet Valencia orange transplanted by Spanish explorers. The nutrient-poor soil and arid climate of Curaçao proved unsuitable to Valencia cultivation, resulting in small bitter fruit on the trees. But the aromatic peel maintained much of the essence of the Valencia varietal, and the trees were eventually bred into the current laraha cultivar, whose fruits remain inedibly bitter. Curaçao liqueur was first developed and marketed by the Senior family in the 19th century. To create the liqueur the laraha peel is dried, bringing out the sweetly fragranced oils. After soaking in a still with alcohol and water for several days, the peel is removed and other spices are added. The liqueur has an orange-like flavor with varying degrees of bitterness. It is naturally colorless, but is often given artificial coloring, most commonly blue or orange, which confers an exotic appearance to cocktails and other mixed drinks. Blue color is achieved by adding of food colorant, most often E133 Brilliant Blue. Some other liqueurs are also sold as Curaçaos with different flavors added, such as coffee, chocolate, and rum and raisin. 2. Benedictine - is a herbal liqueur beverage developed by Alexandre Le Grand in the 19th century and produced in France.It is claimed that at the Benedictine Abbey of Fécamp in Normandy...

I grab the product and I keep on walking, I keep thinking of how Chef Brassiel will look at me like I’m crazy for just trying a rice ball, so I kept walking, I finally reach the produce section and I came across this weird ugly looking thing, but it caught my attention. As I look at it, I said to myself I have to step out of my comfort zone. So I grabbed this ugly green thing called Indian bitter melon. I put the rice balls away, and purchased the bitter melon.

...Coffee from Ampalaya Seeds Coffee is a brewed beverage with a dark, slightly acidic flavor prepared from the roasted seeds of the coffee plant, called coffee beans. Green (unroasted) coffee is one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world. Coffee can have a stimulating effect on humans due to its caffeine content. It is one of the most-consumed beverages in the world. Ampalaya (Momordica charantia Linn.), also known as Bitter Melon, is a crawling vine that grows well in tropical countries, particularly in the Philippines. Known for its bitter taste, the Ampalaya is at once a staple ingredient in Filipino and Asian cuisines and a reliable home remedy for various illnesses, particularly diabetes. But aside from its role as a healthy food, Ampalaya is especially valued by diabetics for its known anti-diabetes. The researcher decided to use ampalaya seeds instead of throwing it and decided to use the seeds as coffee to know if it could be a good alternative to the commercial one. Objectives: 1. To produce coffee using ampalaya seeds as the main ingredient. 2. To determine if the ampalaya seeds have considerable characteristics of the products in terms of color, aroma, taste, and acidity. 3. To determine and compare the levels of acceptability of the coffee samples. Hypotheses: 1. There is no significant difference among the different ampalaya coffee samples developed in terms of their color, aroma, taste, and acidity. 2. There is no...

...Momordica Charantia and Influenza A The Momordica Charantia plant was determined to contain a protein that shows antiviral activity. The Momordica Charantia is a tropical plant found in China, India, Africa and parts of the Caribbean and is part of the cucumber family. Indigenous populations have used the fruit for many years in food and folk medicine (Hamissou, Smith, Carter, and Triplett 641). Researchers have found that the plant protein inhibits H1N1, H3N2 and H5N1 subtypes. Of the medicinal plants studied, the Momordica Charantia plant has been reported to contain many antiviral properties (Pongthanapisith, Ikuta, Puthavathana, and Leelamanit 1). The seed of the M. Charantia was purified of the protein using Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography. The proteins are separated using Sodium dodecyl polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The technique involves placing the protein mixture on gel containing an immobilized pH gradient. The gel slows the passage of proteins and acts as a molecular filter. Samples are loaded into the SDS-polyacrylamide gel and the electric field is applied. The gel slows the passage of proteins and acts as a molecular filter separating different protein molecules according to their size. Smaller proteins move faster than larger proteins and are found near the bottom of the gel. The gel is treated with a coomassie blue stain that binds to the proteins and allows the researcher to visualize the protein bands. The SDS-PAGE method is better suited...
