Bioaccumulation of Lead (Pb) content in three species bivalves in Jakarta Ba...Innspub Net
Environmental pollution by heavy metals has become a serious problem in Jakarta Bay. Mobilization of heavy metals as a result of anthropogenic activities has caused the release of heavy metals into the environment, one of which is Pb. Several methods already used to clean up the environment from these kinds of contaminants, but most of them are costly and difficult to get optimum results. In addition heavy metal pollutans in the waters are very stable and tend to be persistent. Recently, bioaccumators is an effective and affordable technological solution used to extract or remove inactive metals and metal pollutants from contaminated soil and water. This technology is environmental friendly and potentially cost effective using bivalves. These study objectives to analyzed the Pb content of three species of Jakarta Bay bivalves. The results showed that Pb content in the Eastern and Western Season bivalve tissue was significantly lowest in P. viridis (0,166 ± 0,016μg/g dan 0,161 ± 0,155μg/g) compared the Pb concentration in A. antiquata (0,264 ± 0,015μg/g dan 0,247±0,044μg/g), and M. meretrix (0,270 ± 0,016μg/g dan 0,240 ± 0,053μg/g). In this study also showed that the concentration of heavy metal Pb in the bivalve shell of P. viridis was significantly lower than that of two species (A. antiquata and M. meretrix). Pb content in the Eastern Season bivalves did not significantly different from that in the Westerrn Season. This is caused by a weather anomaly where the rainy season occurs almos throughout year of 2020. The Pb content in the bivalves shell was significantly higher than in the body tissues. It is because Pb can replace calcium ions in the formation of animal bones or bivalve shells.
Interaction on the diet and substrate on the growth of Archachatina marginata...Innspub Net
Nine hundred juveniles of Archachatina marginata aged about two weeks, with an average live weight of 2.25 g with an average shell length of 20.12mm were monitored in culture for six (6) months on five types of substrates [S1 (soil collected in a cassava plantation: Manihot sp.), S2 (S1 with 10% oyster shell meal), S3 (S1 with 10% sawdust), S4 (S1 with 5% oyster shell meal and 5% sawdust) and S5 (uncultivated forest soil). Four diets including two industrial (D1 and D 2 of 12% and 16% calcium respectively) and two based on fodder (D3 and D4 based on leaves and fruit of the papaya (Carica papaya) on the one hand and a mixture of papaya leaves and taro (Xanthosoma maffafa) on the other hand, were used. In order to determine the best combinations inducing the best growth performance, 20 combinations were formed at the rate of 45 spat for each combination; three replicas of 15 spat each. This study showed that the combination of diet and livestock substrate influences the growth of Archachatina marginata. Although the best feed is D1 (74.68 g and 7.94cm) and the best substrate is S2 (77.12 g and 7.79cm), the best combinations are D2S3 (69.37 g and 7.47cm), D1S4 (74.68 g and 7.94cm and D4S2 (77.12 g and 7.79cm). The combined effect of the high level of dietary calcium and that of the culture substrate does not promote good growth of snails. This work will help improve the production of African giant snails and provide important data for anyone wishing to engage in the breeding of these animals.
Nutritional assessment status of adult patients with multiple sclerosis: A na...Innspub Net
No previous research has assessed the nongenetic factors, especially the nutrition status of MS patients in Arab countries. Hence, this study aims to assess the nutritional status of MS patients among Arab adults. This study is a nationally representative cross-sectional study using a structured, online self-administered, validated quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) from 13 Arab countries. All data analyses were performed using STATA 16.0 and R for statistical computing version 4.0.4. A total of 813 participants were surveyed, most of the MS participants were female (68.4%), married (58.5%), non-smoker (72.6%) and 53.3% were diagnosed with MS for up to five years. MS participants did not consume the DRI of both the macro and the micronutrients including the energy requirements, except the dietary intake of the sodium which was insignificantly different from the DRI. Results also showed that most participants rarely consumed the main food items including bread, cereals, and most types of meat. While, more than 50% of the participants consumed fruit, vegetables, all types of chicken, fish, fresh soup, rice, and egg up to 3 times per month. On the other hand, milk and milkshake were consumed rarely; while, tea and herbal teas were the most common beverages. Nutrient deficiencies are very common among MS Arab patients. The finding of this study can establish a base for the development of a nutritional program for MS patients in accordance with the recommended DRI.
Germination and seedling growth of Moringa oleifera, Moringa stenopetala and ...Innspub Net
A germination test was carried out to identify plants that can germinate and survive in polluted soil (with and without ash) collected 2.5km east and 2.5km west, 20km west and 55km west (control) of the BCL Cu/Ni mine smelter in Selebi-Phikwe, Botswana. The experiment was carried out using Phaseolus vulgaris, Moringa oleifera and Moringa stenopetala. Soil acidity and heavy metal stress reduced germination percentage, coefficient rate of germination, root and shoot growth and dry weight, root: shoot, vigour index and tolerance index of all species. Percentage reduction followed the order 2.5km west < 20km west < 2.5km east < 55km west. Phaseolus vulgaris, Moringa oleifera and Moringa stenopetala germinated in all soils. Their ability to germinate in polluted soil indicates tolerance to heavy metal and soil acidity stress and so they have potential for use in phytoremediation of polluted soils around the mine. Phaseolus vulgaris had the highest overall germination performance but there was no significant difference between the Moringas. Application of coal fly ash increased all the germination parameters and so coal fly ash has potential for use in amending polluted soil around the mine for phytoremediation purposes.
Identification and marketing of Marantaceae in the Ndjolé area, in central Ga...Innspub Net
The forests of the Congo Basin cover an area of 200 million hectares, of which just over 10% is in Gabon. In this country, crop products and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are abundant because of its favourable climate. There is significant biodiversity and great potential for non-timber forest products. This study is interested in the identification and the supply chain of the Marantaceae, one of these NTFPs of plant origin in central Gabon, whose exploitation is national. Through a survey of the main actors in the sector and field visits in the locality of Bifoun, it emerges the existence of three large groups of exploited marantaceae, whose harvest and transport are mainly done by women, in various containers. The storage of this NTFPs does not exceed four days, with the risk of losing its commercial value due to drying out. The uses of this resource are multiple: processing cassava, cooking food, making handicrafts, etc. The income it provides to producers is mainly use towards small family expenses but helps to monetize the rural world. The difficulties inherent in the distance from harvesting points, the low price of the product and the impossibility of long-term storage of the marantaceae leaves constitute a brake on the development of this activity. It would therefore be wise to envisage the domestication of the species listed for a sustainable use of this plant genetic resource.
Ethnobotany of Oyster nut (Telfairia pedata) in Northern Tanzania | JBES 2022Innspub Net
Telfairia pedata (Sims) Hook is an important native climber plant commonly grown in East Africa. It bears nuts which are eaten either raw or cooked and is consumed mostly by expectant mothers, and as cooking oil. The survey was conducted between September 2019 to February 2020 in Sambaa, Meru, and Pare communities of Lushoto, Bumbuli, Arumeru and Same Districts, Northern Tanzania to assess the ethnobotany of T. pedata from a sample of 346 respondents using semi-structured questionnaires. Results indicate that, 21% of respondents used T. pedata for cooking with other staple foods while 18% claimed that the nuts are used by pregnant and lactating mothers for medicinal and breast milk stimulation and nine (9) percent indicated that the nuts are used for cultural and ritual purposes. Despite its importance, the cultivation of T. pedata in the study area is declining and the gap why such decline is experienced needs to be answered in further studies. Secondly, respondents within the 36-50 age groups reported the greatest diversity of uses of T. pedata 51% compared with those aged below 36 years old 21% signifying that the traditional knowledge known by younger aged groups may be declining. Thus, this gap of traditional knowledge between the groups should be addressed in order to improve utilization and conservation of this seriously declining yet important nut in the study area and other places of Tanzania.

This study reports the amphibian’s fauna sampled from the Biodiversity Conservation Area of the hydroelectric dam of Soubré city (southwestern Côte d’Ivoire). This study aims to provide a better understanding of the diversity of amphibians in this relict forest of 200 ha, in order to assess the ecological health of this ecosystem for conservation and sustainable management perspectives. During dry season (from 26 February to 4 March 2018) and rainy season (from 17 to 23 June 2018), we recorded 14 species of anurans grouped into eight genera and six families. The study sites comprise an amphibian fauna consisting mainly of savannah specialists and degraded forest (64.28% of total species richness). Based on the IUCN Red List, all species recorded are of least concern. Also, these species are well distributed in the different regions of Côte d’Ivoire and Africa. Thus, it is necessary to monitor the ecology of the species and to protect subsequently the different habitats of this area.
Genetic parameter estimates and diversity studies of upland rice (Oryza sativ...Innspub Net
Dearth of well-articulated information on genetic parameter estimates and diversity of upland rice limits the genetic improvement of rice. This study assessed the genetic parameter estimates and genetic diversity among 40 rice accessions using 26 agro-morphological traits. The trial was conducted in 2020 at the Njala University experimental site using 5 × 8 triple lattice design. The agro-morphological traits were analyzed using various multivariate and genetic parameter estimate techniques. Classification based on qualitative and quantitative traits grouped the germplasm into ten and five distinct clusters, respectively. Genotypes Buttercup-ABC, Buttercup-RARC, Jewulay, NERICA L4, Ndomawai, Sewulie and Painipainie produced earliest days to heading (81.8–97.2 days) and maturity (111.2 – 120.7 days). Genotypes Jasmine (3.036 t.ha-1), Rok 34 (3.238 t.ha-1) and Parmoi (2.663 t.ha-1) exhibited the highest grain yields. Principal component analysis (PCA) of qualitative traits exhibited four principal components (PCs) with eigenvalues > 1.0 and cumulative variation of 68.04%, whilst the PCA of quantitative traits had five PCs accounting for 81.73% of the total genetic variation. The findings indicate the presence of enough variability that could be exploited for the genetic improvement of rice varieties and the studied traits can be used for selection. Leaf blade length and width, culm diameter at basal internode, culm length, days to 50% heading, flag leaf girth, panicle number per plant, grain yield, and 100 grain weight had high heritability and genetic advance indicating the presence of additive gene action. Findings are relevant for conservation, management, short term recommendation for release and genetic improvement of rice.

Urbanization is increasing rapidly in all parts of the world to accommodate the increasing human population but it is having a drastic effect on native flora and fauna. The present study was carried out across a three stage urbanization gradient in and around the city of Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. Observations were made from September 2019 to February 2021 at the selected three sites during COVID 19 pandemic. Point count method was used for bird surveys and Sound pressure (Noise) measurements were made across the three selected sites. The Avian diversity was measured by total species richness, Fisher’s alpha diversity index and Shannon-Wiener diversity index. The Urban centre recorded the highest sound pressure and lowest Avian species richness but as we moved away from the urban centre the noise levels reduced and the avain species richness increased towards the rural areas. This is mainly due to many avian species avoiding urban areas because of increasing noise levels. We also found that the urban bird community is dominated by a few species whereas the rural bird community was much more diverse.

The present study demonstrates the ability of GIS and RS in capturing the spatial temporal data. The changing climatic conditions in the country effects the agriculture. The impacts of climate change are not only restricted to the agricultural productivity of the Pakistan but changing climate also impose destructive impacts on the Land use change practices. Three districts of Punjab i.e. Attock, Multan and Gujrat were selected for analysis of climatic effect on wheat production. The time span that is used for analyzing the change in these areas was from 1999-2014. Climatic changes are not always negative ones but sometimes climatic changes are favoring the increased agricultural production. As the change in temperature and rainfall pattern affects the crop conditions, which changes the net production. It is concluded that for real time prediction of crop yield satellite remote sensing could be used for timely management of food crisis in Pakistan as well as in the world.

Extreme weather events are anticipated to increase the existing challenges and generate new combination of vulnerabilities, especially in developing countries. The agricultural sector is the most vulnerable due to overreliance on unpredictable rainfall. This study examined the impact of extreme weather events on urban crop production and the adaptation strategies applied by the farmers. Secondary data were collected through a literature survey and primary data were collected using structured interviews, observations and focus group discussions. A total of 108 crop farmers were interviewed in two wards of Kinondoni District. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 was used to analyze the data and Pearson Chi-square was used to test the statistical significance between variables. The study observed that, farmers perceived extreme weather events including floods (39%), extreme temperatures (36%), and drought (25%). These extreme weather events affected negatively crop production leading damaging of crops and low yields (38%), outbreak of crop pests and disease (38%), drying of water sources (20%), and loss of soil fertility (4%). Crop farmers used various adaptation strategies such as crop diversification (28%), the use of pesticides (23%), changing of cropping patterns and planting calendar (16%), irrigation practices (18%) and replanting (10%). The study recommends for adoption of new farming systems such as vertical farming systems for better output with the use of limited water and land resources.

Catchment degradation has continued to occur globally albeit the presence of Community Forest Associations (CFA) and Water Resource Users Associations (WRUA). Similarly, Kilungu catchment area in Kenya is under the management of the Kenze (CFA) and upper Kaiti (WRUA). This paper examined Kenze CFA and Upper Kaiti WRUA activities by exploring their effectiveness in discharging their statutory functions. This was achieved by carrying out, an exploratory descriptive survey. Data was collected through questionnaires, focus group discussions, 10 key informants’ interviews and direct observations. Descriptive analysis was used. Information was presented in fig.s, tables and percentages. Results showed that upper Kaiti WRUA as more effective in catchment management at moderately (31%) and highly at (37%) as compared to CFA moderately (29%) and highly (5%). In terms of discharging of their statutory functions, Upper Kaiti WRUA was better at a rating of 27% (good) and 23% (very good) as compared to Kenze CFA which was rated at 3% (good) and 6% (very good). This study results implied that Upper Kaiti WRUA was more effective in all aspects of ensuring catchment management as opposed to CFA. In conclusion, a strategy of seizing the opportunities presented by the CFA of being empowered to perform all its activities as required by law with emphasis on the timely preparation and implementation of management plans and WRUA’s continuous improvement should be prioritized. The study recommends new initiatives that improve on the CFA and WRUA activities in order to effectively discharge on their statutory functions.

Liming leads to high bean and maize yield on a strongly acid tea soil | IJAAR...Innspub Net
Acid soils are very common in tea zones. These soils have a pH below 5.0. Below this pH, not only do the soils exhibit toxicity of aluminum and manganese but are deficient of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and molybdenum, hence becoming chemically infertile. Liming is one cheap way of reclaiming these soils. The staple food crops in these tea soils are maize and beans. However the effect of different liming levels on bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and maize (Zea maiys, L.) yield on acid tea-growing ando-humic Nitisol had not before been investigated. A study was therefore conducted to determine the crop response to liming and the appropriate liming level for maize and bean crops in a tea zone soils. The experiment was carried out in Embu County, Kavutiri and Kianjokoma areas, Agro-Ecological Zone (AEZ) UM1. A randomized complete block design with four replications of each lime treatment was used at each site. Lime at rates of 0 (L0), 2.4 (L1), 6 (L2), 8 (L3) t/ha was broadcasted on to 4m x 4m plots and mixed into 0-15cm of soil. There was a significant response to liming for both maize and beans. The maximum maize and beans yield was attained at around liming level L2 (pH 5.5). Above this pH, yields started to decline. The study clearly shows the benefits of soil liming on strongly acid tea soils and also the importance of accurate lime applications.

The ethanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane extracts of the freshwater clam (Corbicula fluminea) were studied for the total phenolics and total flavonoids. Total phenolics and total flavonoids of the extracts were evaluated using Folin-Ciocalteau and Aluminum chloride colorimetric methods respectively. The findings showed that the total phenolics of the ethanol extract (1.67±0.28mg GAE/g of dried sample) were substantially higher than the total phenolics obtained from the ethyl acetate (0.70±0.00mg GAE/g) and hexane extracts (0.56±0.23mg GAE/g). While the total flavonoids in the ethyl acetate extract displayed a slightly higher total flavonoid (43.84±0.92mg QE/g of dried sample) relative to ethanol (30.41±1.34mg QE/g of dried sample) and hexane extracts (20.28±0.00mg QE/g of dried sample). Using ethanol, the highest yield for extraction was obtained. Ethanol is the best solvent among the three – ethanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane in terms of extraction yield and total phenolics. In addition, it can be inferred that the presence of significant amounts of phenolics and flavonoids suggests that freshwater clam is a promising source of antioxidants that provides nourishing proteins and oxidative stress remedies

Forage production in arid and semi-arid rangelands is not uniform but varies with seasons and in various landscapes. The aim of this study was to investigate the spatial and temporal variation in forage production in RNP. Plants sampling was carried out in 225 plots distributed in each of the five vegetation types. In each vegetation strata, sampling points was based on proximity to an occupied stock post, a rain gauge, a foothill and flat plains. A total of were measured in the 5 study sites. Line Intercept Method in combination with harvest method were used in ground measurement of biomass production. To assess biomass production using remote sensing technique, par values were obtained from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) imageries which consisted of 8 days composite images at spatial resolution of 1km² pixel size. There was positive correlation between line intercepts and biomass production Biomass production was higher in succulent Karoo biome than in desert biome. There was a strong relationship between biomass production with rainfall and with fpar values. Since leaf and stem succulents’ plants were found to contribute the highest amount of forage production in RNP, they should be given conservation priority.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Abstract
Sensory evaluation or analysis is an invaluable tool in determining the consumers’ acceptability of a product
developed and eventually its market success. This is a sequel test after the chemical analysis and microbiological
procedures have been conducted. The study determined the level of acceptability of the by-product of Talisay
(Terminalia catappa) nuts specifically; Talisay Nuts Polvoron, Glazed Talisay Nuts, and Sugar-coated Talisay
Nuts using sensory evaluation as to appearance, taste, aroma, sweetness, and texture. The responses of the food
inclined participants are described yielding from the Hedonic Tests conducted and statistically treated. Results
concluded that the developed products are remarkably acceptable and marketable.

Introduction
The value of conducting sensory evaluation
underscores the level of acceptability of a product
developed prior to its extension or commercialization.
Hence, Singh-Achbarali and Maharaj (2014)
considered it as an invaluable tool in determining the
consumers’ acceptability of a product and eventually
its market success. It must be noted that
characterization as to appearance, aroma, flavor,
texture, and after-sensation of products cannot be
accomplished or predicted by chemical or
instrumental laboratory measurements.
According to Sidel & Stone (2004), sensory evaluation
is a scientific discipline used to evoke, measure,
analyze and interpret those responses to products as
perceived through the senses of sight, smell, touch,
taste, and hearing. Generally, grading methods for
food and beverage products traditionally involved one
or two trained “experts” assigning quality scores on
the appearance, and flavor of the products based on
the presence or absence of predetermined defects.
Yang (2015) posited that sensory analysis help in
grasping the characters of various food products.
Thus, by using the traditional methods of evaluation,
some products with different sensory characteristics,
such as those identified by a product profile, but with
no product defect will obtain the same quality score.
This is where sensory evaluation becomes an
invaluable tool.
In support, Singh-Achbarali and Maharaj (2014)
contended that without sensory evaluation, development
efforts reflect the personal feelings, views and choices of
the product developer, product development team,
marketer/s and/or top management and results that
may be used to base product development trade-offs and
decisions, product development successes will be few
and development timelines very long. Watts (1989), also
affirmed that there is no one instrument that can
replicate or replace the human response making sensory
evaluation component of any food study essential.
Meiselman (1993), on the other hand, stressed the need
for integration of sensory and hedonic dimensions
rather than separation of these dimensions.
The current study is inclined to product development
derived from Talisay nuts out from Talisay seeds as
the trees grow abundantly in some areas in Surigao
del Norte particularly in Malimono and nearby areas.
Since only a few researchers have studied the
possibility of developing a new product from the
Talisay seeds and nut extracts, the researchers have
unlocked its possibility through this study. As the by-
products already underwent chemical analysis and
microbiological procedures, the researchers would
then determine the level of acceptability of the
products through sensory evaluation or analysis
reducing the subjectivity aspects in rating prior to its
extension and or commercialization venture.
Materials and methods
Quality Participants
Study participants were critically determined. They
were adequately considered to arrive at meaningful
conclusions (Dikilitas and Griffiths, 2017). Eight (8)
administrators, eleven (11) Food and Services
Management (FSM) faculty, and eight (8) Bachelor of
Technical Teacher Education major in FSM students
from Surigao State College of Technology (SSCT),
Surigao City. They are actively engaged in food-
related undertakings and inclined to food quality
control processes and production.
The evaluative survey questionnaire was adopted
from Lawless and Haymann (1998) as it was befitting
for use to capture the responses of the participants.
The Hedonic test answers the characteristics of the
products by appearance, taste, aroma, sweetness and
texture coupled with their responses on how they feel
about the product hence the food action rating. With
sensory analysis, evaluators are able to probe areas of
interest that are intrinsic product attributes, like
flavor profiles and off flavors, as well as extrinsic
measures such as market penetration and consumer
perception (Schiano, Hardwood, and Drake, 2017).
On Analysis Tools
The study utilized a sensory evaluation survey using
in particular hedonic tests to determine the level of
acceptability of the by-products from Talisay nuts
3. Int. J. Agron. Agri. R.
Adlaon and Maghuyop Page 3
namely; Talisay Nuts Polvoron, Glazed Talisay Nuts,
and Sugar-coated nuts. Frequency, Mean and
Standard deviation were used to analyze the data with
the support of histographs to illustrate the results
from the hedonic test of the by-products. Multiple
Correspondence Analysis was also employed.
Result and discussion
On Sensory Evaluation of the Talisay Nuts Polvoron
Table 1 presents the summary of results from Hedonic
Rating Test for Talisay Nuts Polvoron. In calculating
the score for each product, a descriptor was assigned
for each score value
respectively: Liked extremely = 9, like very much = 8,
like moderately = 7, like slightly = 6, neither like nor
dislike = 5, dislike slightly = 4, dislike moderately = 3,
dislike very much = 2, dislike extremely = 1.

The results showed that the participants “like very
much” the appearance, taste, smell and the texture of
the product. Their remarks for the product reflected
as good and appetizing. The aroma and texture is just
right. There was only a little suggestion that the
talisay nut was “less tasted” hence, adding more of
grounded talisay nuts to the polvoron would make it
more flavorful.
The following histograms described the assessors’
Hedonic evaluation results:
Fig. 1. Appearance Evaluation.
As gleaned from Fig. 1, results reflected that the highest
frequency can be traced to the given rating of 8 with the
rating 5 as the lowest frequency. Correspondingly, a
mean of 7.67 and sd of 1.00 was garnered denoting that
in terms of appearance, the Talisay Nuts Polvoron was
deemed “acceptable”. Only a few slightly disliked and
nobody disliked the product.
Fig. 2. Taste Evaluation.
As gleaned in Fig. 2, results showed that the highest
frequency can be traced to the given rating of 8 and 5
as the lowest frequency. Further, a mean of 7.85 and
sd of 1.027 which means that many of the participants
“ like the product” a lot and only a few slightly like
with no one who dislike the product as to its taste
hence, it taste “good” thereby showing that the
product is acceptable to the tasters.
Fig. 3. Smell Evaluation.
4. Int. J. Agron. Agri. R.
Adlaon and Maghuyop Page 4
As displayed in Fig. 3, on the aroma/smell
evaluation result of the product, the highest
frequency dwells on the rating 7 and 9 and the
lowest frequency on the rating 5 with a mean 7.89
and sd of 1.013 depicting further that the product
was “acceptable” in terms of its smell or aroma. This
can be attributed to the aroma of the butter as part
of the ingredient of the polvoron.
Fig. 4. Texture Evaluation.
As shown in Fig. 4, the raters evaluated the product as
to texture as “acceptable” based on its mean of 7.59
and SD of 1.279.The texture came out as another
characteristic that may lead to the acceptability of the
product. Since the Talisay Nuts Polvoron is not
coarsely textured, hence it was deemed acceptable.
On Food Action Rating Results
The result of the second phase of the sensory
evaluation which is the food action rating test is
presented in Table 2.

this every opportunity that they had, 22.2% agreed
that they would eat the product if available but would
not go out of my way and 7.4% said that they would
eat the product very often. None of those assessors
dislike the polvoron. This is a good indication that the
product is acceptable.
Multiple Correspondence Analysis (Polvoron)
Multiple Correspondence Analysis was conducted to
explore the variation of the sensory evaluation of the
customers on Talisay polvoron. Table 3 presents the
eigenvalues and the inertia obtain from the data.
These values indicate how much variance explained
by the factors (Fi). Since F1 and F2 got the two highest
eigenvalues, these were factors considered as it
cumulatively explained 80.84% of the variance.

Fig. 5 shows that administrative personnel and
the students as respondents (positive part of F2)
like a lot the texture, appearance, aroma, taste
and smell of the polvoron. There are some
students (negative part of F2) who like a little the
appearance and smell of the polvoron. Meanwhile,
the faculty (positive part of F1) like a little the
taste, aroma and texture. However, they dislike a
little the appearance and smell of the polvoron.

Texture 4.7 Like a lot
As depicted by the average responses of the
participants, it was found out that they like a lot the
appearance, aroma, taste, the sweetness and the
texture of the glazed talisay nuts. It can be inferred
that most of the participants were fascinated by the
look and the form of the product. Results also
revealed that many love the distinctive pervasive and
savory smell of it. It would also mean that the
participants appreciate much the flavor and the
sweetness of the glazed talisay nuts. Most of them
also enjoyed the way it feels in the mouth when it is
eaten as to its crunchiness.
Fig. 5. Symmetric plot.
The responses would then reveal that the glazed
talisay nuts passed the expectation of the participants
basing on the characteristics considered individually.
Hence, it is safe to say that the product developers
must sustain all characteristics that are much liked
and enhance some characteristics that needs
improvement after which it can be said that the
product is now ready for commercialization. Table 5
exhibits the average action/attitude rating of the
participants concerning how they feel about the
glazed talisay nuts.
As observed from the result, a mean response of 5.4
was obtained qualitatively equivalent to saying “I
would buy this very often”. It shows that nearly
every participant will really become fond of buying

the glazed talisay nuts over and over again. This is a
manifestation that the said product is click to the
market or to the target consumers especially those
sweet lovers.

Fig. 6. Evaluation Results of the Glazed Talisay Nuts
in Reference to its Appearance.
The participants rated the glazed talisay nuts
positively (Fig. 7) as revealed by its mean = 4.70 and
sd = 0.483 denoting further that they would like to
buy it now and then. This manifest a good sign of
acceptability as the participants are longing to buy the
product now and then or frequently.
Fig. 7. Sensory Evaluation Results of the Glazed
Talisay Nuts as to Smell/Aroma.
The participants rated the product positively (Fig. 8)
based on its mean of 4.80 and sd = 0.422. It can be
deduced then that the aroma has also gained approval
or acceptability from the participants as they
described it in such a way that “they would like it now
and then”. Maybe they are enticed by the aroma of the
product as it passed to their aroma standards.
Fig. 8. Sensory Evaluation of the Glazed Talisay Nuts
as to Taste.
The participants rated the taste constructively (Fig. 8)
based on its mean = 4.80 qualitatively described as “ I
would like to buy it now and then” Still a good sign
that they are impressed with the taste of the product,
hence can held captive some of the sweet lovers to
want it more.
Fig. 9. Sensory Evaluation of the Glazed Talisay Nuts
as to Sweetness.
As displayed, the sweetness of the product is
positively rated based on its mean= 4.70 and sd =
0.483 thereby showing that the participants would like
this and would buy this now and then. Conversely, it
may mean that still they like the sweetness meaning it
is not so sweet for them but acceptably sweet that may
not lead them to experience throat pain resulting from
sweetness overload.

The product has shown acceptability (Fig. 10) as to
texture/mouthfeel based on its mean = 4.70 and sd
=0.483 qualitatively described by the participants as
“I would like this and buy it now and then”, meaning
that it has passed its texture standards. This further
connotes that they accepted and approved the texture
of the product developed.
Fig. 11. Food Action Rating of the Participants as to
the Glazed Talisay Nuts.
As shown in Fig. 10, the food action rating got a mean of
5.40 and sd = 0.516 qualitatively described as “I will buy
this product very often” which further connotes that the
participants are positive that the product can also gain
same response from other target consumers should
commercialization will be done.
Multiple Correspondence Analysis (Glazed Talisay
Nut)
MCA was also performed to explore the variation of
the sensory evaluation of the customers on glazed
Talisay nuts. Table 6 presents the eigenvalues and the
inertia obtained from the survey data. These values
indicate how much variance is explained by the
factors. As observed from the results, there were only
two factors, F1 and F2, obtained whose eigenvalues
cumulatively explained 100% of the variance.

From this chart, it can be seen that no customer
dislike the attributes of the glazed Talisay nuts. In
fact, those who like a lot the appearance also like a lot
the taste, smell, texture and aroma fo the product
when they tried it. On the other hand, those who only
like a little the appearance, also like a little only of the
taste, smell, texture and aroma of the glazed Talisay
nuts. In other words, the taste of the glazed Talisay
nuts is complementary to its appearance, smell,
aroma and texture.
On the Sensory Evaluation of Sugar-Coated Talisay
Nuts
Table 6 presents the sensory evaluation results of the
characteristics of sugar-coated talisay nuts.

Characteristics Mean

Description
Appearance 4.7 Like a lot
Aroma 4.5 Like a lot
Taste 4.7 Like a lot
Sweetness 4.8 Like a lot
Texture/Mouth Feel 4.2 Like a little
The results revealed that the participants “like a
lot” the appearance, aroma, taste and sweetness of
the product.
It would imply that the product is good and
appetizing. The aroma and sweetness win the taste of
the consumers. On the contrary, the texture
/mouthfeel of the product obtained the mean
response of 4.22 which is qualitatively described as
like a little.
This would mean that the consumers like the
mouth feels but not enough to fascinate their
fondness. In fact, there was suggestion that the
sugar-coated talisay nuts would be tastier if it
would be crunchier.
Crunchiness is really a value-added feature of nuts
which will be looked into by food lovers.
With regards to how the participants feel about the
sugar-coated talisay nuts, results were displayed in
Table 7.

6.1 I would buy this very often
The average response of 6.1 reflects that the
consumers would like to buy the product
repeatedly. It further implies that the sugar-coated
talisay nuts has gained approval from the
representative future consumers. One way of
capturing their desire to buy more is to consider
the suggestions and aim for continual enhancement
until the desired outcome can be seen.
Multiple Correspondence Analysis (Sugar-Coated
Talisay Nuts)
Multiple Correspondence Analysis was conducted
to explore the variation of the sensory evaluation of
the customers on sugar coated Talisay nuts. Table 8
presents the eigenvalues and the inertia obtain
from the data. These values indicate how much
variance explained by the factors (Fi). Since F1 and
F2 got the two highest eigenvalues, these were
factors considered as it cumulatively explained
75.88% of the variance.

In Fig. 13, symmetric plot is displayed showing the

categories on the two principal axes.
From the chart above (Fig.13), it can be inferred that
those customers who would like to buy sugar coated
Talisay nut very often (Action 6) and every
opportunity that they had (Action 7) are those who
like a lot the appearance, aroma, taste, texture and
sweetness of the said product. It was also found out
that those customers who would prefer to buy the
product now and then (Action 5) only like a little the
appearance, aroma, taste, texture and sweetness of
the product. On the other hand, those who said that
they would buy sugar coated Talisay nuts only when
available but would not go out of their way are those
who like a little the sweetness of the product but
dislike a little the texture and the aroma of it.
Conclusion
The Sensory Evaluation/Analysis is deemed a potent
tool to test the level of acceptability of the Talisay
Nuts Polvoron, Glazed Talisay Nuts, and Sugar-
coated Talisay Nuts. It can be concluded then that the
by-products developed from Talisay nuts have
achieved a remarkable level of acceptability based on
the responses of the participants and is potential for a
business venture of the residents in areas where the
plant is abundant.
Recommendations
The product developers are encouraged to put
premium on the identified strengths of each product
derived from the sensory evaluation results and give a
dose of improvement on the identified weaknesses of
the three products to ensure quality and high level of
acceptability for future product commercialization.
