Background of the Study

Food waste is a significant global issue, with fruits and vegetables accounting for
a substantial portion of discarded food products. According to Ganesh, et al. (2021),
fruits and vegetables make up more than 42% of all food waste worldwide. Among
these, the cabbage core, which is often overlooked or discarded, presents an
opportunity to reduce waste and utilize a nutritious and versatile ingredient.
The cabbage core refers to the central, tougher portion of the cabbage head that
extends from the stem to the base of the leaves, as described by Tokuyasu, et al.
(2022). Traditionally, the outer leaves and cores of cabbage have been primarily used
for animal feed and salad production, as highlighted by Nakajima S., et al. (2020).
However, most people tend to remove and discard cabbage cores when preparing slaw
or soup, as mentioned by (Worley 2017).
Nevertheless, recent by S Avilla (2023) suggests that the cabbage core is a
valuable and delicious vegetable part that can be enjoyed on its own, either raw or
cooked. When properly prepared, the cabbage core exhibits a crunchy texture and a
flavor similar to radishes, making it a nourishing ingredient comparable to broccoli stalks
and kale stems. It can be incorporated into various dishes, including soups, stews,
pickles, and coleslaw, after appropriate preparation.
In addition to the potential uses of the cabbage core, there are various plant-
based foods that can be consumed in different ways, including raw, prepared, or
combined with other ingredients. The effective utilization of fruit and vegetable waste
can lead to the production of value-added goods that are not only more environmentally
friendly but also more affordable and sustainable, as emphasized by Rebua, et al.
(2018). One popular example of a dish that incorporates a variety of vegetables,
including cabbage, is the Chinese spring roll, known as "lumpia," which is widely
enjoyed in Indonesia and the Philippines. Lumpia is a delicious snack made with a thin
crepe pastry skin called "lumpia wrapper." It encloses a savory filling consisting of
chopped leeks, carrots, cabbage, green beans, and bamboo shoots.
CIELITO ZAMORA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 5

Additionally, minced chicken, shrimp, pork, or beef may be added to the filling. Lumpia
can be served fresh or deep-fried and is commonly enjoyed as a snack, lunch, or dinner
option. By exploring creative and diverse ways to incorporate vegetables like cabbage
into dishes such as lumpia, cannot only reduce food waste but also create flavorful and
nutritious meals.

Development of Spring Roll


Spring rolls are a popular food all over the world because of the simplicity of
preparation and adaptability. This delectable dish has also been influenced by the
tastes, ingredients, and flair of many different cultures. Local spring rolls in Vietnam are
called "Goi Cuon" because rice paper is used to make them rather than flour wrappers.
These world-famous Spring Rolls can be filled with lettuce and meat, enjoyed cold, and
they can be deep-fried for a crispy texture, known as "Cha Gio." In the Philippines, the
slender Spring Rolls are known as Lumpia (or Lumpia Shanghai) and they are a
national staple made with a flour wrapper and then deep-fried to create a crispy texture.
Another variety of spring roll brought to Europe by Indonesian immigrants is called
"loempia."In the Netherlands, these deep-fried rolls are now a typical starter or snack. In
the US, egg rolls are typically made with a thick wrapper made of flour and deep-fried,
which produces a crispy outside and a chewy inside. These egg roll fillings can be
served as an appetizer or as a quick and filling meal because they are more substantial.

Benefits of Cabbage Core
According to Tukayasu, et al. (2022), when conventionally discarded vegetable
parts are recovered through appropriate food management, they are considered
potentially edible resources containing functional and nutritional compounds. Even
though cabbage core (CC) is edible and contains a variety of functional and nutritional
compounds, including calcium, phosphorus, potassium, amino acids, dietary fiber,
vitamin C, vitamin U, chlorogenic acid, quercetin glycoside, and p-coumaric acid, it is
considered a rejected part of the vegetable in Japan. However, because of its short
CIELITO ZAMORA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 6

shelf life and poor suitability for food applications, it is thrown in away or fed to animals.
Thus, there is growing interest in converting CC to a food substance in order to advance
a sustainable society.
According to Kurata, et al. (2022), every day, factories that produce fresh-cut
vegetables produce an excess of unused vegetable parts, such as the outer leaves and
cores of white cabbage (cabbage). Due to their limited usefulness, these parts are
frequently thrown away as biodegradable industrial waste. The objective of this study
was to create a productive process for making l-ornithine from leftover cabbage. First,
its added protease (Sumizyme FP) to the cores and outer leaves of sterile cabbages.
Eight days later, there was about five times as much l-arginine released as there was in
the original content. Protease and Pediococcus pentosaceus were combined to produce
l-ornithine, as l-arginine is a precursor to l-ornithine. Nevertheless, they were able to
overcome this by adding eggshell to adjust the pH and suppress the metabolism of
arginine to ornithine, which was caused by the fast lactic acid fermentation. Anaerobic
fermentation of the outer leaves and cores of sterile cabbages with 5% eggshell for 8
days resulted in 184 ± 2 μmol of l-ornithine/100 g of cabbage.

This technique can be used to produce safe and affordable food materials
containing l-ornithine that are derived from vegetables. Additionally, eating vegetables
that have been fermented using this method would offer a range of l'ornithine health
benefits.
Texture of Spring Roll
According to Fincher (2021) the paper-thin wrapper of spring rolls is composed
of flour and water. This crispy wrapper breaks easily upon contact since it is so thin.
These wrappers are fried after being stuffed with a mixture of cabbage, beansprouts,
prawns and pork. Spring rolls are frequently served with dipping sauces made of
vinegar, sweet and sour, or Worcestershire.
In either case, Crispy, smooth, and delicate bundles of fried spring rolls filled
with tender shredded pork, cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms. It cooks until turned into
golden and the wrappers crisp up crisply upon first taste. Pork combination marinated in
CIELITO ZAMORA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 7

a mixture of corn flour, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and Shaoxing wine makes up the
stuffing. Sweet nape cabbage and carrots are gently sautéed, together with meaty and
earthy dried mushrooms, bright scallions and fresh ginger, and a savory, slightly sweet
oyster sauce to bring it all together. ( Jao, Vivian 2023)
Review of Related Studies

Development of Spring roll


According to Marikit, et al., (2016) the Musa acuminata banana blossom, also
referred to as the banana heart, is a member of the Musaceae family. Because banana
blossoms are year-round and have high nutritional value, they are used in a wide variety
of cuisines worldwide. The researcher’s main goal is to create nutritious fried spring rolls
using banana blossoms.
In either case, the researcher tested the acceptability of the banana blossom-
filled spring rolls based on 282 participants' perceptions of their taste, scent, and size
using an experimental research design and a research-made questionnaire. With the
following components, Lot 1's banana blossom-filled spring roll was the most
acceptable: 30 g of banana blossom, a spring roll wrapper, 7 g of onion and garlic, and
1 ⁄ 2 tsp. of pepper and salt. With 30 g of banana blossom, Lot 1's spring roll was the
most acceptable in terms of cost, coming in at P100.50 for the whole lot. Lot 3,
containing 16 g of banana blossom, was the least expensive composition. The spring
rolls in Lot 3 with banana blossoms inside cost P84.40 in total. One hundred banana
blossoms has a potential nutritional value of 0.8 g of protein, 1.2 g of fiber, 22 mg of
phosphorus, 32 mg of iron, 36 mg of manganese, 1.1 mg of copper, and 37 mg of zinc.
On the other hand, regarding the sensory qualities of the created spring rolls
with banana blossom samples, there are no appreciable differences. It is consequently
established that the best optimum ratio to manufacture healthy friend spring rolls with
banana blossom is to make use of 30 g of banana blossom.

According to Patricio (2021) in terms of aroma, color, flavor, texture, and overall
acceptability, the purpose of this study was to ascertain the development of spring rolls
CIELITO ZAMORA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 8

using wrappers with threadfin bream (Nemipterus japonicus) flakes and whether there
were any notable differences in the development of spring rolls using wrappers with
threadfin bream (Nemipterus japonicus) flakes using three different proportions of
ingredients per treatment. In order to determine the level of acceptability of the
development of spring rolls employing wrappers made of threadfin bream (Nemipterus
Japonicus) flakes, the current inquiry used an experimental design. The spring roll
wrapper will be strengthened by testing and venturing into other pelagic fish species.
Despite the favorable acceptability results, the researcher will continue to
investigate potential strategies for reducing the product's cost in order to guarantee
profitability. The Municipality of Ajuy should take the initiative to conduct research that
will advance the use of pelagic fish in the town, in collaboration with the academic
community and research bodies.
The researcher's work will allow the town to grow economically, which will assist
alleviate poverty and the food crisis in the Municipality of Ajuy. The aforementioned
initiatives will help foster an entrepreneurial culture, particularly among the
neighborhood's small and local companies.
Benefits of Cabbage Core
According to Cervoni, et al., (2022) vitamin K, folate, and potassium are all
found in
abundance in cabbage. Additionally, cabbage has some calcium, iron, and vitamins C
and A. In essence, cabbage is a fat-free food. A serving of one cup contains less than
one gram. A healthy food that is almost fat-free and low in calories, cabbage is also a
good source of vitamin K, folate, and potassium. It is a minor source of protein, but it
does offer fiber.
Texture of Spring Roll
The obstacle based on the researcher's study is that spring rolls, which are
primarily made of cereal flour, have a rubbery, tough texture that becomes less crunchy
when they are left to stand after frying or when those are reheated in a microwave oven
after being refrigerated or frozen for storage.
CIELITO ZAMORA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 9

The researcher's method for producing the dough for spring roll wrappers is
characterized by that the dough's pH is adjusted to a range of 3.0 to 5.5 or a range of
8.0 to 10.5, and then the dough is baked. The findings in the spring roll wrapper, which
is easy to work with because it doesn't get sticky or brittle when baked, suppresses the
texture's deterioration after frying and when reheated in a microwave or similar device,
keeps its crunchy texture immediately after frying, and has a good texture without being
tough or tasting sour or harsh. (Miyata, et al. 2014)
Theoretical Framework
Modifying Food Texture According Rosenthal (2015) Food texture is a
collective term of sensory experiences originating from visual, audio and tactile stimuli.
The sensation of food texture plays a crucial role in influencing consumers’ liking and
preference of a food product. Consumer concern and interest in food texture vary from
one type of food to another. For solid foods, sensory experience associated with
fracture and breaking could be the most relevant textural features, whereas the
sensation of flow behavior could be the most critical texture-related feature for fluid
foods. For semisolid or soft solid foods, different patterns of stress–strain deformation
provide key information for the delicate texture variation among this type of food. Food
texture and food structure are the two internally linked properties. Although food
structure influences textural properties of a food, it is regarded as material property of
the food. The term food texture has a strong inclusion of sensory experience. Ingredient
interactions and food processing and preparation are the most important industrial
approaches for food texture (or food structure) creation or modification. Moisture
content and fat content are the two key determining factors for texture creation. Content
of air, as expressed as structure openness, also plays a critical role in texture creation.
Using these parameters as three dimensions, foods can be conveniently grouped for
their textural properties. Food texture sensation and perception are only made possible
by the interaction of food physics and oral physiology. Taste and aroma are based on
very different principles than food texture sensation. The sense of texture stimuli is
primarily detected by mechanoreceptors. The underlying psychophysical principles of
CIELITO ZAMORA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 10

the interpretation of these sensory stimuli remain largely unclear, making it an extremely
complex internal process.
