CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
STI Tertiary Students Satisfactory rate for the effectivity of drinking rice wine with mint
leaves as a cough relief is a topic of interest, as it reflects the preferences and experiences of this
particular student population. To gauge this satisfaction, a comprehensive survey was conducted,
assessing the percentage of students who are both satisfied and dissatisfied of rice wine with mint
leaves. The results provide valuable insights into the beverage choices and preferences of STI
Tertiary Students, shedding light on the factors that contribute to their satisfaction or
dissatisfaction with this particular type of wine.
Background of the Study

Cough, a common respiratory symptom, can significantly impact the well-being and
academic performance of tertiary students. The pursuit of effective and accessible relief is essential
to address this health concern, especially within the unique context of tertiary education. Surigao,
a region known for its cultural diversity and rich agricultural resources, presents an opportunity to
explore traditional remedies. properties.
Rice(Oryza sativa)wine, a traditional alcoholic beverage, is culturally significant in many

regions, and mint leaves have long been recognized for their therapeutic properties. The proposed
research seeks to investigate the effectiveness of this wine as a cough relief specifically among
tertiary students at STI Colleges Surigao. The potential benefits of this mixture lie not only in its

cultural roots but also in the accessibility of its ingredients and the perceived natural healing
properties of mint. Mint is known for its antispasmodic and soothing effects, which may contribute
to alleviating cough symptoms. The rice wine itself may not be enough to give a soothing effect
for treating cough by giving relief in a short period that’s why the natural healing properties of
mint might help for treating. The objective for the marketability of rice wine with mint is to
position the product as a unique and refreshing cough relief alcoholic beverage, appealing to
consumers seeking a fusion of traditional and innovative flavors that can help to treat their
discomfort. This should involve effective branding, targeted marketing strategies, and
emphasizing the distinct qualities that set it apart from other alcoholic beverages
The focus on cough relief is paramount due to its widespread prevalence among students,
impacting concentration because of discomfort. Understanding the experiences of tertiary students
regarding the efficacy of rice wine with mint leaves as a cough relief may unveil valuable insights
that can inform health practices within the community. As the significance of natural and culturally
rooted remedies gains recognition, this study aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge
on alternative approaches to common health issues, fostering a holistic understanding of student
well-being.

Theoretical Framework
Traditional rice wine formulation involves several key steps. First, glutinous rice is washed.
Next, boil 1 liter of water and add the sugar to dilute it in the water next when the sugar is
completely diluted add the glutinous rice to the mixture and let it rest for 10 hours. Yeast is then
introduced to the mixture, which ferments the sugars, producing alcohol. Based on the study of
Sumbhate et al. (2012). The alcohol content of the rice wine was determined by the Ethanol
Dichromate assay. According to Garbacz A. (2018), The fermentation process can take several
weeks to months, during which the mixture is often left in a controlled environment to develop its
flavors. After fermentation, according to the study of Zhang Y, and Zhong Q. (2019), rice wine is
usually filtered to remove solids and raw materials that can increase content or other flavor
substances, and it may be aged for some time to enhance its taste before bottling and consumption.
Keep in mind that specific techniques and ingredients can vary based on regional traditions and
individual recipes. For the most recent and detailed scientific information, consulting specialized
databases and research articles is advisable.

Scope
The scope of this study, "The Effectivity of Rice Wine with Mint Leaves as a Cough Relief
for Tertiary Students at STI College Surigao," aims to determine whether rice wine with mint leaves is
truly effective in addressing cough-related discomfort. The researchers use an specific mint which is
eucalyptos mint, the researchers will only focus on determining if the mint is really an effective
herb to mix in rice wine to treat cough and give a relaxing and soothing temporary impact to
tertiary students who are experiencing cough.
Limitation
One limitation of the study, titled "The Effectivity of Rice Wine with Mint Leaves as a Cough
Relief for Tertiary Students at STI College Surigao," is the potential for self-reporting bias. The
research data will mainly depend on students' self-assessment of their experience with rice wine
and mint leaves. This study will not cover colds, fevers, other factors that may cause cough and
other cough related illness such as tuberculosis and others; instead, the researchers' primary aim is
to determine if rice wine with mint leaves can provide temporary relief for cough discomfort
specifically chronic cough.
The study will exclusively focus on tertiary students currently dealing with a cough, and
SHS students experiencing a cough will not be included. Participants may be influenced by social
desirability bias, potentially leading to responses that are socially or culturally acceptable but not
wholly indicative of their genuine opinions. This limitation could impact data accuracy and the
degree to which it reflects actual satisfaction levels among the student population.
To address this bias, future research could explore the integration of additional objective
measures or alternative data sources to complement the self-reported information.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This portion of the study reviews some articles and insights that are chosen from various
websites and other sources that have significant study and data during the period of 2014-2024.
They are classified as local and foreign sources.
Review Related Literature
The researchers have observed that tertiary students at STI College Surigao are
experiencing cough discomfort. A study conducted by Alyn et al. (2020) found that the concept of
cough hypersensitivity refers to patients' sensitivity to external stimuli such as cold air, perfumes,
smoke, and bleach, providing a physical explanation for chronic cough symptoms in adults.
Additionally, one study shows that rice wine can temporarily relieve coughs. Due to low air
temperatures, people may develop chronic coughs and other cold-related illnesses. Drinking warm
rice wine in winter boosts blood circulation, dispels cold, activates the body, promotes metabolism,
and nourishes blood and skin (Shaoxingwine.com, 2023).
In their investigation, the researchers focused on temporarily relieving the cough of tertiary
students using the product they formulated. Rice is a vital source of carbohydrates and a rich source
of essential nutrients such as fiber, manganese, selenium, magnesium, and B vitamins. Rice can
provide more energy to a person due to its carbohydrates. Whole rice grain is a popular and
growing food source in Western countries due to its high antioxidant activity and nutritional value,
which aids in disease prevention, particularly in reducing cardiovascular disease risks (Yafang et
al., 2015). Eucalyptus ointments relieve congestion and loosen phlegm, used to treat bronchitis,
coughs, and the flu by relieving congestion and loosening phlegm through steam inhalation.
Members of the Eucalyptus genus are highly sought after globally due to their antibacterial,
antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and insect-repellent properties, which are utilized in
various industries (Bahare et al., 2019).
The researchers may use rice wine with mint to temporarily relieve the cough of tertiary
students at STI College Surigao. A study about Eucalyptus mint leaves suggests that this may
relieve cold symptoms. Eucalyptus is widely used as a natural cold remedy and is a common
ingredient in cough and cold products. Eucalyptus oil can be inhaled through your nose and may
STI COLLEGES | 11
STI COLLEGES
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
provide some cold-symptom relief (Peggy et al., 2016). In addition, One study shows that the only
vitamins that can help with cough is vitamin B12. Therefore adding vitamin B12 supplements to
the diet might help. Regular consumption of fermented rice can help reduce fatigue due to its high
vitamin B12 concentration (Parmita Uniyal., 2022).
Although rice wine is not enough to treat the cough, the product that the researchers
formulated, the mint, has the dominant effect of relieving the cough because the mint leaves
contain menthol, which may reduce the recurrence of bouts of dry cough. Coughing may cause
chest congestion, which is the accumulation of mucus in the lungs and lower breathing tubes. A
study conducted by Ruchi et al. (2022) found that since mint has a very strong odor, it helps open
up the airways and allows relaxed breathing. Mint's strong odor aids in opening airways and
promoting relaxed breathing due to its ability to provide a soothing sensation. This may help you
breathe easily. The natural compounds in mint leaves, including menthol, may help relax the
smooth muscles of the respiratory tract. This relaxation can aid in easier breathing (Sushmita
Sharma., 2023).
Eucalyptus is a common ingredient in cough and cold products and is widely used as a
natural cold remedy. A study conducted by Megan et al., (2023) mint is a popular herb that may
possess potential health benefits. This may include helping with digestive health, reducing allergic
symptoms, and soothing common cold symptoms. Mint may help relieve indigestion and also
improve the irritable bowel syndrome. Mint is a fragrant and delicious plant that is an ingredient
in many foods and beverages. It also has health benefits that may include relieving indigestion,
improving brain function, and masking bad breath ( Keith Pearson, 2023). In addition Mint is
perhaps most popularly known as a remedy for digestive problems. Some limited research suggests
that peppermint oil in capsules may ease belly pain from irritable bowel syndrome (Kathleen et
al., 2023).
The product that the researchers composed will be marketable especially in Asian countries
due to its popularity of its product. An article that has been published by BusinessInsight Co.
(2023) stating that, the Asia Pacific region, primarily composed of major global producers like
Japan, China, and Korea, is a significant market for rice wine due to its large consumer base and
favorable climatic conditions, particularly in Japan and China. The rice wine industry is
STI COLLEGES | 12

experiencing positive growth due to the growing popularity of Asian cuisine, preference for natural
ingredients, and interest in exploring new flavors (Linkedin Co., 2023)
