    In the Heart of Negros Province, Visayas Lay Bacolod City Also Known As the City of Smiles. It Is Famous for Its Masskara Festiv

    3 By: Meriam Reyline Alo In the heart of Negros Province, Visayas lay Bacolod City also known as the City of Smiles. It is famous for its Masskara Festival and home to famous delicacies such as Piaya, Napoloenes, and Chicken Inasal. What are known to most peo- ple are only the well-known places and delicacy and only few would no- tice the things that carry not only a part of the culture but also a piece of history of the Bacolodnons. What I’m talking about is Cansi at Sharyn's Cansi House, Php 270 per serve not a place of worship or a painting of beauty but rather a taste of mouth-watering, steaming hot, bursting with flavour CANSI. What is Cansi, you might ask. For those who love bulalo or sinigang I assure you this is one dish you would not want to miss eating because this is a combination of both. It is a soup dish made of beef’s bone, bone marrow, langka and batwan boiled to perfection to attain a perfect combination of sour and beefy taste. Its flavoursome broth together with its tender beef makes you forget about the cholesterol and urges you to eat some more. The most famous Cansi house is Sharyn’s Cansi House located at C-58 Nar- ra Ave., Capitol Shopping Center, Ba- colod City or commonly known as “shop- Sharyn's Cansi House during the busiest store hours ping”. The place is very simple and not intimidating. Sharyn’s Cansi House started at 1985 and has been on business for 31 years.

Choisy] Seed Oil Elizabeth S. Quevedo12 , Laura J. Pham , Florinia E. Merca 3 and Antonio C. Laurena4 1Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry, Visayas State University, Baybay City, Leyte 6521-A,2 National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, University of the Philippines Los Baños Laguna,3 Institute of Chemistry, University of the Philippines, Los Baños, Laguna,4 Institue of Plant Breeding, Crop Science Cluster, University of the Philippines Los Baños College, Laguna ABSTRACT The seed oil of “batuan” [Garcinia binucao (Blco.) Choisy] fruit, an indigenous, lesser known, and with promising economic potential, was characterized to evaluate its quality and potential for product development. Using standard AOAC methods, thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography, the physicochemical properties, lipid and fatty acid profile were determined. Oil yield from “batuan” seeds was high. The extracted oil was yellowish white, soft solid at room temperature. Iodine value, acid value, and peroxide value of the seed oil were low while saponification value was high. Lipid presents in “batuan” seed oil is mostly triglycerides while diglycerides are in low amount. Unsaponifiable matter (<1.0%) was abundant in sterol, squalene and beta-carotene, and minor amount of Vit. A palmitate, - and -tocopherols. Stearic (C18:0), oleic (C18:1), and palmitic (C16:0) acids were the major fatty acids while arachidic, linoleic, and linolenic acids constitute the minor components. “Batuan” seed oil contained more saturated fatty acids than the unsaturated fatty acids which could be responsible for its being a soft solid at room temperature.

    [Garcinia Binucao (Blanco) Choisy] Fruit Powder Production

    Research Article EAEF 13 (2) : 30-41, 2020 Optimization of Process Conditions for Batuan [Garcinia binucao (Blanco) Choisy] Fruit Powder Production Al Kaixer G. ANCHETA1*, Erlinda I. DIZON2 Abstract The study determined the optimum process conditions to produce batuan fruit powder using combined Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and desirability function. The factors considered were sodium metabisulfite (SMS) concentration and drying temperature. Two-factor ANOVA revealed the significant responses among the physicochemical (bulk density, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, whiteness index) and functional (antioxidant activity, total phenolics, water absorption index, water solubility index) characteristics. The response that was not significant in the model was also identified (pH). Based on the results, the optimum drying temperature and SMS concentration were found to be 50.0 ℃ and 106 ppm, respectively. The powder was produced using the predicted optimum conditions and was analyzed for its physicochemical, functional, and sensory properties.

    Optimization of Pectin Extraction from the Native Fruit of Garcinia Binucao Using Response Surface Methodology

Citrus supply for pectin primers in the world market is continually under threat due to the widespread of uncontrolled citrus greening disease outbreaks. As a consequence, a market squeeze in pectin supply was experienced globally and further resulted to a significant surge in prices of pectin derived products. In an attempt to provide an alternative source of pectin primers to the pectin-making industry, we investigate a novel and promising pectin primer native to the Philippines. In this work, we explored extraction of pectin from fruits of the Garcinia binucao tree (GBT). We implement a response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize the extraction of pectin from GBT. Box-behken experimental design was used to obtain the optimal conditions in the extraction process. Temperature (°C), extraction time (min), and pH were found to have significant effects on the pectin yield. Actual values of these independent variables were chosen on the basis of preliminary experimental results. Optimum conditions using ridge analysis were found to be: temperature 72.4°C, extraction time 117.5 min, and pH at 1.68. In conclusion, a high pectin yield obtained from GBT fruits strongly suggests that these fruits are promising alternative primers in pectin production.
  • Lesser Known Edible Tree Species

    Lesser Known Edible Tree Species

    RESEARCH INFORMATION SERIES ON ECOSYSTEMS Volume 15 No. 3 September – December 2003 Lesser Known Edible Tree Species Compiled by Helen B. Florido and Fe F. Cortiguerra Foreword Featured in this issue of RISE are three edible, lesser-known and indigenous species. These are binucao (Garcinia binucao), lipote(Syzgium polycephaloides (C.B. rox) Merr. and libas (Spondias pinnata). Binucao commonly called batuan in the Visayas is a native tree that produces a sour fruit, a favorite and popular souring ingredient for Visayan dishes. To increase its production, the ECG Farm owned by businessman Eduardo Cojuangco in Negros Oriental has developed 10-ha plantation for this minor crop. While waiting for the tree to bear fruit, they intercrop it with bananas. Libas is the known souring agent, in the Bicol Region. The young leaves are dried and used in the preparation of laing, a very popular Bicolano dish. When fresh, it is used as filling for fish cooked in coconut milk called sinanglay. Lipote, on the other hand, was reported to have medicinal properties that lower high blood pressure and high level of cholesterol. It also has a anti-oxidant action. These edible tree species are profitable crops because they do not require much inputs. You need not spray chemical insecticides or fungicides or apply fertilizer. They are seldom attacked by pests and diseases. We hope the information in this issue will guide you in propagating and utilizing these indigenous species for health reasons and biodiversity conservation. CELSO P. DIAZ Director 2 1.
