...difficult state of the Philippine economy in order to operate the mill. One of the issues was the American monopoly in the Central Bank of the Philippines for resisting to grant RFM the mandatory dollar allocation. With persistence and cooperation, RFM has then pioneered the flour-milling industry in the Asian region by starting out as a single company manufacturing bags of flour to a distinguished multi-company enterprise leading a number of branded products. RFM Corporations stands as a strong contender in the Philippine consumer market for offering a wide variety of food and beverage products such as: White King (cake mixes and flour-based products), Fiesta (Pasta and Sauce), Swift (meat based products), Sunkist (fruit juices), Selecta (milk- based products) and Selecta (ice cream, under the joint venture with Unilever).

...Running head: ONE PERCENT VS TWO PERCENT MILK One Percent vs. Two Percent Milk University of Maryland University College Introduction There has always been an argument in my household regarding the varying degrees of milk and the differences in taste. According to John Bower (1995), “sensory evaluation is a basic tool in the practice of food science and is widely used in research and industry”. The data formulated from the sensory evaluation can come in many forms but the information is usually produced by verdicts of human subjects that form a taste panel. There is importance placed on the conclusions drawn from these sensory experiments (Bower, 1995). Purpose of the Study An individual declares that she can discern the difference in one percent and two percent milk. We have designed an experiment by which this assertion can be evaluated. Two half gallon cartons of milk were purchased from the Giant Food store. According to the nutrition label of the Giant low fat brand or one percent the product has 110 calories and 2.5 grams of fat. The Giant two percent milk brand has a total of 122 calories and 4.8 grams of fat in each serving. Based on the nutritional information the milk selections are somewhat similar and therefore the null hypothesis of H0: u = the participant will be able to make a distinction between the two milk brands in 70% of the taste tests or u=.70. The alternative hypothesis, H1: u≠.70 in which...

...Lactase is an enzyme located in the mammalian small intestine that breaks down lactose into sugars, glucose and galactose. It is a necessary enzyme in order to digest lactose, a milk sugar, which cannot be absorbed directly. Lactose is a sugar found only in mammalian milk According to the article, there is high production at birth and then lactase production starts decreasing in adulthood. However, through recent studies, it is shown that there is a high variation in lactase production among individuals and population which could be divided into a group with continuous high lactase production and a group with declining lactase production. The authors are point out that the most commonly used term, lactose tolerance/intolerance are reflecting the gastrointestinal symptoms after taking lactose. However, people with high lactase production can show the symptoms of intolerance and people with low lactase production show no symptoms at all. Therefore, it is preferred to use the term lactase persistence/non-persistence, lactase restriction and etc. Also the authors argues that the term lactose persistence/non-persistence doesn’t necessarily imply too high or low lactase activity. After learning that the gastrointestinal symptoms and lactose intolerance doesn’t necessarily correlate, I think it would be more accurate to classify with lactase persistence/non-persistence. For example, I can tolerate lactose but I can show those symptoms. So does that make me lactose intolerant? ...

Products will be explained in more detail further on. B. What will the product or service be called? The named Baked Hut shows our customers the kind of products we export because, usually fast food eaters are accustomed to oiled foods, so as an alternative for oil, most products will indeed be baked to lessen the amount of calories. It will also affect how we advertise it because it is a short, catchy, and non-difficult name that no one will have problems pronouncing or reading. Baked Hut will export food related products that will differ from a typical fast food restaurant in various ways. In current typical North American fast food markets, restaurants such as McDonald’s, Burger King, and KFC provide customers with food containing high amounts of calories, saturated and trans fats, sodium salt and processed sweeteners that increase your risk for chronic diseases. Baked Hut will alter this issue by providing the same idea of fast food, but instead encountering the health risks associated with regular fast food and providing customers with healthier food. The idea is for customers to gain the same pleasure of eating “fast food”, but without being conscious of how it is affecting their health. Generally, we’re looking at North American...
