Kesong puti is a soft, white cheese similar to cottage cheese that is made from unskimmed carabao's milk, salt and Rennet or white vinegar. It has a soft, close texture and slight salty taste. Here's the recipe on how to make kesong puti or the Filipino white cheese using vinegar. Kesong puti has a shelf life of about a week. If refrigerated properly, it will lasts up to 4 weeks. For frozen kesong puti lasts about 3 months. Ingredients: 1 liter (4 cups) carabao's milk 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup white vinegar Procedure: 1. In a double boiler, heat milk and salt for about 15 minutes. 2. Turn off heat then add the vinegar. The curds will form at this point. Note the whey (yellow liquid) forming at the top. Leave the mixture to cool and set for at least an hour. 3. When cool to the touch, pour the mixture over a fine-screen strainer to drain out the whey. The resulting curd is already a kesong puti and is ready for use if a creamy, spreadable cheese is the desired outcome. 4. To make a firmer cheese, press down with a spoon or spatula until more of the whey drips out. Or place a saucer on top of the cheese and weigh down using a heavy object, like a water-filled bottle, to press more of the whey out. 5. To form cheese into the desired shape, place it in the center of a sheet of plastic wrap. Bundle the corners of the sheet together to create a pouch. Place this in a cup or rectangular plastic container, and press down. Refrigerate until the cheese sets, at least 30 minutes. When ready, remove cheese from cup or container, unwrap and serve on plate. Note: If carabao's milk is not available, commercial milk in tetra packs labeled "pure" or " full fresh cow's milk" will do just as well. If you prefer low-fat milk, double the amount of white vinegar used. Source: Claude Tayag - Food magazine

mussel fish sauce

Functional food is currently one of the fast growing segments of the food industry. It contains both essential nutrients and health promoting non-nutrients. However, fish sauce and other fermented food products may not be considered functional food due to its high salt content. Fortunately, a project of the University of the Philippines (UP) Visayas made fish sauce derived from mussel, which is low-salt. Because of this, it can be a potential functional food and ingredient. [caption id="attachment_18631" align="alignnone" width="300"]mussel fish sauce Mussel farming is considered as an important food-producing sector in many coastal areas (Image credit: Inland Aquatic Resources Research Division (IARRD), PCAARRD)[/caption] The project is led by Ernestina M. Peralta of the UP Visayas Institute of Fish Processing Technology. It is funded by the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD). Green mussel (Perna viridis) is abundantly found in the country and is considered as an imporant farming commodity in many coastal areas. Mussel farming requires less input and capital compared with other aquaculture activities such as fish cages and pens, making it a preferred backyard activity of fisherfolk. Mussel can be an alternative raw material in producing self-fermented sauce. It is high in protein content, amino acids, zinc, calcium, and iron. Moreover, it is low in fat, cholesterol and calories. [caption id="attachment_18632" align="alignnone" width="200"]fermented mussel fish sauce Low-salt fermented mussel sauce (Image credit: IARRD, PCAARRD)[/caption] The low-salt fermented mussel sauce is a natural food ingredient and condiment and can improve protein digestibility as well as the flavor of the food. This technology can be viewed during the National Science and Technology Week (NSTW) 2018 at the World Trade Center, Pasay City on July 17-21, 2018.

Coconut has been the staple food of people in many parts of Asia and Pacific Islands. The dehydrated shredded flesh of coconut known as desiccated coconut is often used as a substitute to grated coconut in food preparations such as curries, cakes, sweets and chutneys. Confectionery and bakery units are the main consumers of desiccated coconut. Desiccated Coconut Powder is obtained by drying ground or shredded coconut kernel after the removal of brown testa. It finds extensive use in confectioneries, puddings and many other food preparations as a substitute to raw grated coconut. dessicated coconutHow to Make Dessicated Coconut: The fresh matured coconuts are dehusked and deshelled manually using hand tools. The deshelled coconut kernels in the form of round balls are pared using scrapers to remove the testa. The pared kernel balls are then cut open to drain off the water and then washed thoroughly in fresh water to remove the invert sugars from the inner surface of the kernel. The kernel is then ground into a fine mass using hammer or pin mills. The ground mass is blanched with live steam for about 20 minutes to bring down the microbiological counts. The blanched mass is then dried in hot air drier at a temperature of 80-90oC for about 10 hours so as to bring down the moisture content to below 3 per cent. The hot air drier is provided with a drying chamber consisting of a series of trays, which hold the feed. Hot air is blown into this chamber from an external source through blowers. The dried mass is tested for moisture, free fatty acid and microbiological counts. The product is packed in polythene pouches. Source: Coconut Processing Technology - coconutboard.nic.in

Instant Salabat made easier and tastier

Every Pinoy has probably heard and tasted Salabat. This herbal drink, known to remedy sore throat and stomache ache, is basically a hot ginger tea with a tangy flavor and can be drank by itself or with a pinch of sugar or a freshly squeeze of calamansi. Traditionally, this tea goes through a rigourous preparation from boiling the sliced ginger to flavoring. But an innovation in Badiangan, Iloilo made it possible for the production of an “Instant Salabat”. Although the instant ginger brew is not new for it originated during the 1970s in Brgy. Iniligan, Badiangan, the product still needs further development in terms of commercialization and marketing. This year, the Badiangan Ginger Planters and Producers Cooperative (BGPPC), in collaboration with the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and the Department of Agriculture (DA), partners with the Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) to increase the competitiveness of the product in the local market and prepare for the fierce competition in the international market. Packaging salabat for better marketability BGPPC has been wanting to enter the commercial market through its ginger-based products specifically the instant Salabat (a readily mixed drink just like the 3-in-1 instant coffee). Treading towards its goal, BGPPC is working on its License to Operate (LTO) registration and Food and Drug Administration (FDS) certification. “However, [regarding] the application for the FDA and LTO, the concerned agencies [have] required the improvement of the facilities and production area for an increased production capacity and marketability of the ginger-based products,” explained Mr. Roberto S. Borra, chairman of the cooperative. BGPPC’s project titled, “Promotion of Instant Salabat through Enhanced Packaging and Labeling”, which is supported by BAR through its National Technology Commercialization Program (NTCP), will be the stepping stone towards product market-readiness and competitiveness by upgrading the packaging and labeling of the product. Specifically, the project aims to: 1) enhance the competitiveness of the product in the local market by improving the package and label; 2) provide additional income and increase employment in the community; and 3) establish a steady, viable and dependable income generating project for the community. Badiangan’s ginger-based industry Ginger is well-known in the municipality of Badiangan for it rears an abundance of this indigenous crop within its lands. In 2004, the One Town One Product (OTOP) program was launched in each municipality of the country and ginger-based industry development was established and implemented in Badiangan through the BGPPC. With 14 years of existence, BGPPC has been striving to advance the town’s ginger industry with the goal to better the lives of Badiangan ginger planters. The instant salabat is one of the premier ginger-based goods developed by BGPPC together with involved agencies. “The processed “instant salabat” is likewise exposed to the market through trade fairs both the national and local levels,” said Mr. Chester G. Cortuna, manager of BGPPC. Recently, it was featured as one of the products exhibited during BAR’s 8th Agriculture and Fisheries Technology Forum and Product Exhibition at SM Megamall on 9-12 August 2012. This annual activity aims to showcase and promote innovative technologies and products in the agriculture and fisheries sector developed by government agencies, international organizations, and public-private partners. Going instant After the ginger rhizomes are checked and inspected for quantity and quality, they undergo proper sanitation procedures before proceeding to cutting and trimming. The cut ginger are washed with water and rinsed with 70 ppm chlorinated water to eradicate microorganisms. Afterwards, the washed ginger passed through a mechanical grinder. The juice is extracted from the pulp through the utilization of a pre-sanitized nylon strainer followed by the hydraulic press machine. To add flavor, the extracted juice is mixed with sugar at a pre-determined ratio. At a temperature from 1800C to 200 0C, the mixture is cooked with constant stirring. The medium heat and vigorous stirring will facilitate the powdering of the mixture. After passing the ginger brew through a series of sieves to produce a fine powder, it will then be cooled at room temperature. After undergoing packaging, sealing, and labeling procedures, the ginger brew will be stored at room temperature. “These are arranged according to production dates and are labeled properly for easy application of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) rule,” said the proponents. The production volume per month of instant salabat is 500 to 700 kilograms. Other ginger-based product lines manufactured by the cooperative are ginger candy, ginger juice drink, ginger syrup, ginger tea, and ginger squash bar. Today, BGPPC is looking forward to having their various ginger-based goods patented. ### (Leila Denise Padilla) bar.gov.ph

Pineapple is a well-known fruit and can be found abundant in traditional markets, especially during harvest season. Consumers are fond of this fruit not only because of its delicious taste, but also because of its high vitamin and calorie content which is good for the health. Pineapple is often consumed as fresh fruit as well as processed food and beverages. pineapple photo The productivity of pineapple does not necessarily yield good price. At harvest season, the price is very low and lots of wastes are incurred in the market place and producing centers. To overcome this problem, a technology has been developed to process fresh pineapple into nata de pina. By adding Acetobacter xylinum, the sugar component in pineapple juice can be changed into a substance which is called nata de pina. Processing of Nata De Pina Materials Pineapple juice, 10 liters Diammonium phosphate (DAP), 30 g Sugar, 4.8 kg Glacial acetic acid, 0.2 liters Acetobacter xylinum, 1 liter Equipment Blender Knife and cutting board Siever Pan and stirring spoon Stove Plastic tray Processing 1. Prepare all the materials 2. Mix and boil pineapple juice, DAP, sugar, and glacial acetic acid. 3. Let the juice cool in a plastic tray, and then add starter Acetobacter xylinum and cover with paper. 4. Fermentation lasts for 14 days and nata layer will be formed thereafter. Cut the nata into size 1 x 1 x 1 cm, wash and boil. 5. Soak the nata in water for one night, and change soaking water repeatedly to eliminate acid taste. 6. Add 40% sugar solution, essence, and benzoic. 7. Package nata in cups covered with plastic.

Coconut Processing Technology: Young Coconut Water

$

Coconut water is the liquid endosperm obtained from a young coconut (6 - 8 months) which is pure, nutritious and wholesome natural beverage. The sterile water, which is approximately 200 –750 ml, is enclosed with a hard shell and a well-lined layer (8 – 10 mm) of coconut meat. Coconut water is high in ionic nutrients (electrolytes) such as potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, phosphorus and sulphur. It also contains sugar, in the form of glucose and fructose, Vitamin C, Vitamin B group and amino acids such as glutamic acid, arginine, aspartic acid and leucine. PRODUCTION PROCESS The following are the basic steps in processing coconut water. 1. Select young coconut with no cracks, holes, or other defects. 2. Wash the nuts with tap water and later sanitize with chlorinated water (1 tsp com- mercial chlorine bleach per liter of water). 3. Cut nuts and collect coconut water in clean containers. 4. Scoop meat with spoon and wash with po- table water to remove fibers, testa and other dirt particles. 5. Mix buko meat and coconut water. (optional). 6. Add 20% potable water to the mixture and sweeten with sugar according to taste. 7. Pour in Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles and seal. 8. Store in coolers or refrigerate. This will last for 14 days or more at 4 oC. Note: Work place and materials to be used should be under hygienic conditions to avoid contamination and exposure to foreign objects. OTHER PROCESSING TECHNIQUES To prolong the shelf-life of coconut water, vari- ous preservation techniques are recommended such as Ultra High Temperature, Cold Preserva- tion and Microfiltration. Ultra High Temperature (UHT) involves heating the water to 130 oC to 150 oC for 2-45 seconds; the product is aseptically packaged in order to obtain a stable shelf -life (1 to 2 years at ambient temperatures); however, the flavour is changed due to high heat; UHT is only used for export purposes.. The maximum capacity for the UHT equipment is 2,500 liters/hour. Microfiltration is a type of physical filtration process where a contaminated fluid is passed through a special pore-sized membrane to separate microorganisms and suspended particles from the liquid; used in ultra filtra- tion and reverse osmosis to provide a prod- uct stream which is free of undesired con- taminants. Cold Preservation is the process that involves filtration, bottling and temperature control allowing the bottled coconut water to stay fresh from 10 days to 3 weeks and retains natural flavour. USES AND HEALTH BENEFITS Coconut water can used as a high-electrolyte beverage with a low glycemic index (54 ± 4) for hydration purposes. (Based on the study conducted by PCA on the Development of a High Electrolyte, Low Glycemic Index Coco Water Drink in 2011). During the World War II, coconut water has been used intravenously since coconut water is identical to the human plasma and can be injected directly into the human bloodstream. Decrease the risk of heart attacks, increase metabolic rate, help in dissolving kidney stones, prevents muscle cramps, and an effective diuretic are some of the health benefits of coconut water.
