Abstract
The lack of information among Filipinos in terms of low-cost protein sources in
relation to green soybean is a significant research gap being addressed in this
study. The problems of costly conventional protein sources, protein-calorie
malnutrition, and low consumption of inexpensive protein and calorie sources
prompted the development of this inquiry. The investigation focused on
Filipinos' low soy food intake, value adding and promotion in the province of
Davao Oriental, Philippines. The aim of this study was to evaluate the green
soybean harvested from Manchuria variety as a raw material for soybean
shake on the market and as a new drink for human consumption in terms of
consistency/texture, sweetness, and general acceptability, as well as food
action assessment. The researchers used a sensory evaluation and a hedonic
scaling test to give away 82 free samples of soybean shake made by boiling
young green soybean seeds, extract the beans then mixed it with evaporated
milk, sugar, then blend until fine textured. This were given to professionals,
office workers, farmers, legislators, and students through quota purposive
sampling. The statistical metric was the percentage of their ranked answers.
According to the general acceptability results, 29.26 percent of respondents
liked the product highly, 45.12 percent liked it very much, 23.17 percent liked
it somewhat, and 2.44 percent liked it mildly. When asked how sweet they
thought it was, 100 percent of respondents said it was mildly sweet.
Meanwhile, 12.2 percent of respondents said the consistency/texture was too
thick, and 87.8 percent said it was medium thick. Finally, the food action
assessment found that 98.78 percent of people would consume this food if
given the chance, while just 1.22 percent said they don't like it but would
eat/drink it on occasion. The inquiry concludes that the product is well
received by the respondents, who represents Davao Oriental constituencies.
It is recommended that the state should develop a food policy, allocate funds
to close gaps and increase soybean production.
Abstract
Research Objective
The aim of this study was to determine the market acceptability of soybean
shake among the people in the Province of Davao Oriental.
The study's basic goals were as follows:
1. To make a soybean shake from green soybeans.
2. To perform a sensory assessment and acceptability test of soybean shake among
the constituents in terms of:
2.1. general acceptability test; indicators
2.2. consistency/texture sensory evaluation; and
2.3. sweetness.
3. To determine the degree of food action scale of the green soybean shake studied
using the Hedonic scaling system.
4. To build IEC materials for a better soybean value chain and business-related IECs
for Davao entrepreneurs.
Soybean (Glycine max, L)) is an industrial crop cultivated for oil and protein.
It is the largest single source of edible oil and account for roughly 50 percent of the
total oil seed production in the world. It is popular in the world as “WONDER CROP”
of the 20th century due to its significant contribution to health & wellness. The whole
bean has 35.0 to 40.0 protein percent, 35.0 percent carbohydrates, 21.0 percent fats
and 4.9 percent ash. It is a good source of dietary fiber. Soybean, boiled has 17
percent protein, 5 percent protein in soymilk, 8 percent protein in firm-tufo, 2.9
percent protein in taho, and 12 percent protein in okara by-product. Soybeans
protein content is comparable to some animal-based foods like chicken, drumstick,
roasted- 28 percent and pork, spareribs, braised- 29 percent (USDA, 2012).
Soybeans are high in protein and a decent source of both carbs and fat. They
are a rich source of various vitamins, minerals, and beneficial plant compounds,
such as isoflavones. For this reason, regular soybean intake may alleviate the
symptoms of menopause and reduce the risk of prostate for men and breast cancer
for women. Soybeans are a common part of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean diets,
and are now produced in countries such as Brazil, Argentina, India, Paraguay,
Canada, and the United States. The United States currently plants and grows more
soybeans than any other nation in the world, with 83 million metric tons cultivated on
75 million acres. However, nearly all soybeans grown in the United States are
processed into soy meal (which is used in animal feed) and soy oil. Soybeans also
serve as an essential and relatively inexpensive source of protein in countries where
they are eaten whole rather than processed into meal and oil (USDA, 2012).
Related product
In the wet market where the study was performed, green soybean is not
available as a new product supply. Positive feedback from agricultural technologists
and farmers, on the other hand, is expected to boost supply after demonstrations in
the LGUs visited.
Two). Calcium is a mineral that is found in many foods Soybean calcium can
help women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms by increasing bone
mineral density, regulating blood sugar, and reducing PMS symptoms. Three).
Vitamins and minerals abound. Green soybean is also high in vitamins and minerals,
especially folate and vitamin K. Because it is responsible for red blood cells and
brain health, adequate folate intake is especially important for pregnant women and
young children. Four). Iron. For a plant food, green soybean provides an excellent
source of iron. Iron is needed to transport oxygen across the body and sustain our
bodies' energy levels. Maintaining the health of our skin, hair, and nails is also
important (Chen, 2021).
1. Cut off both ends of the pods so the salt water will season the soybeans inside
the pods when boiling.
2. Rub with salt. Season with salt and rub the edamame pods together. This
aids in the removal of some of the pods' fuzzy hairs. It also assists in the
preservation of the pods' bright green color and absorbency of flavors when
cooking.
Variety
Manchuria (soybean gene center), where soybeans were first domesticated.
(1) G. gracilis, the weedy type is spread widely in Manchuria but less frequently in
other regions of China; (2) Various soybean varieties are grown in Manchuria; (3)
Many of the soybean varieties in Manchuria tend to have primitive characteristics.
Yields ranging from 2-3.2 t ha -1. The first-crop soybean harvest was underway in
early March 2006 near Cristoferson, Venado Tuerto, with average yields of 3 to 3.2 t
ha-1 (National Soybean Research Laboratory, 2014).
In October 1999. The health claim states that 25 g of soy protein per day may
reduce risk of coronary heart disease. Soyfoods has isoflavones (similar to female
estrogen to alleviate hot flashes associated with menopause). Isoflavones contains
anti-cancer properties and anti-inflammatory (lunasin) factors as components for
prevention of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases; help increase bone density thus
preventing osteoporosis. Recommended daily intake of 1.6 g soybeans is less to
develop prostate cancer (Enicola, 2012).
Dr. Alfredo F. Galvez, who trained at the University of the Philippines Los
Baños, has been credited with discovering the peptide or small protein lunasin that
battles cancer and reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) that raises cholesterol
levels among humans. Its anti-cancer properties, is its ability to prevent cancer cells
from multiplying. LDL is the so-calIed bad cholesterol that can clog arteries and
increase the chance of developing heart disease and heart attack. Galvez said
lunasin has antimitotic effect on cancer cells, which means that it can prevent cell
division, leading to the arrest of cancer cells and their eventual death. He stressed
that one soybean variety in the Philippines called Tiwala 10 had the highest bioactive
Lunasin at 2.48 ug/mg. (Business mirror, 2014).
Hedonic Scaling
Method
Research Design
The data collected in this inquiry uses score sheets comprises the general
acceptability test of green soybean using the 9-point Hedonic scale;
consistency/texture using the 5-point Hedonic scale; sweetness using the 5-point
Hedonic scale; and food action scale was measured using the 9-point Hedonic scale
test adapted from Gatchalian (1989). A score sheets containing the list of
descriptive terms were given, explained and understood by the panelist. Since its
development, the 9-point hedonic scale (Peryam & Girardot, 1952; Peryam &
Pilgrim, 1957) has been the most commonly used scale for testing consumer
preference and acceptability of foods (Lim, 2011).
The properties of the 9-point hedonic scale is a balanced bipolar scale around
neutral at the center with four positive and four negative categories on each side.
The categories are labeled with phrases representing various degrees of affect and
those labels are arranged successively to suggest a single continuum of likes and
dislikes (Peryam & Pilgrim, 1957). The descriptors are intended to help not only
subjects to respond accordingly but also to help experimenters interpret the mean
value of responses in terms of degree of liking/disliking (Lim, 2011). All questions
used a 9-point hedonic scale (with 1 = "disliked extremely", 5 = "neither disliked or
liked", 9 = "liked extremely"), which is the most commonly used when testing
consumer preference and acceptability regarding foods (Lim, 2011).
A total of 82 respondents were able to participate the random pre-test of
green soybean, initial data were analyzed in terms of percentage method for the
results. The general acceptability test was measured using the 9-point hedonic scale
in which 9 is labeled as like extremely, while 1 is labeled as dislike extremely. The
consistency/texture was assessed using the 5-point hedonic scale, where 5 is too
thick, and 1 is labeled too thin. The sweetness was measured using the 5-point
sensory evaluation scale, where 5 is labeled as very sweet, while 1 is labeled as
very sour. The food action scale was measured using the Hedonic 9- point scale as
presented in Table 1.
Harvest green soybean at the age of 60 to 80 days for early maturing variety
until 95 days for late maturing variety. Then remove the pods from the stalks
and clean.
Step 2
As bench mark: A quantity of 500 grams of green soybeans was used. It was
clean with water, and boiled in 1 liter of water for 15 minutes or more to
achieve tenderness.
Step 3
Step 4 (Optional)
Mixture can be added with some fruits for more flavor. Durian was an
excellent fruit as flavoring of green soybean shake.

Conclusion
From the study’s results, the conclusions are drawn. Green soybeans are a
new crop that farmers can grow for use as a raw material in soybean shake. It is
well-liked by respondents from Davao Oriental. Similarly, since the soybean shake is
"kid-friendly," it can lead to Filipino protein-calorie malnutrition. Finally, this
breakthrough would provide a low-cost protein source for the Filipino diet.
