CONCLUSION

Based from the findings formulated, the conclusions drawn by the researchers are the
following:

1. The innovative aspect of this product is that it can be considered as an emergency food
that would really satisfy the appetite of the consumers. And it is unique because of the
added flavorings namely, squash and moringa.
2. This cracker differs from other crackers in the market based on their nutritional contents
which makes it a possible emergency food. As stated, the researchers infused the product
with squash and moringa which is rare on the market.
3. The gathered studies by researchers show that consuming two to three servings of whole
wheat foods per day will provide health benefits, possibly reducing the risk of
cardiovascular disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, colon cancer, and obesity. In
prospective studies, the protection from these diseases that results from consuming whole
wheat far exceeds the protection expected from the individual nutrients and
phytochemicals found in whole grains.
4. There is no significant difference on the flavor of whole wheat cheese crackers infused
with squash (Cucurbita maxima) and malunggay (Moringa oleifera) in the emergency
category of food and what is commercially available with other fillings.
