    International Journal of English Literature and Social Sciences, 5(6) Nov-Dec 2020 | Available online: https://ijels.com/ Physicochemical Properties of Macaranga (Gamu) used in Kalinga Basi (Bayas) Production Divina Alunday – Balocnit Kalinga State University, Philippines Received: 12 Oct 2020; Received in revised form: 24 Dec 2020; Accepted: 29 Dec 2020; Available online: 31 Dec 2020 ©2020 The Author(s). Published by Infogain Publication. This is an open access article under the CC BY license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Abstract— This study focused on assessing the physisco-chemical properties of Gamu used in Kalinga basi/ bayas production. Specifically, this study covers the ethnobotanical profile of the binuwa tree. The fruit of the binuwa tree is the gamu used as yeast to ferment in the production of bayas. Some of the chemical components of this fruit are also analyzed in this study. The physical and chemical characteristic of the bayas was also studied. This study's ultimate goal was to assess the physicochemical properties of gamu fruit used in basi/bayas production. Phytochemical analysis was used to get data on the chemical properties of the gamu and bayas. Survey methods and photo-documentation were applied to gather data on the physical characteristics of the local wines. The study found out that the binuwa tree is naturally grown in thick forests in the province and that its dried fruit, which is the gamu, is used as a starter to ferment basi/bayas. This fruit contains flavonoids and tannins responsible for antimicrobial activity and astringency of the wine, respectively. The basi/bayas have an alcohol content of 9.79%v/v, Reducing Sugars 4.7%w/w, pH of 3 – 4, and a total acid of 0.64g/100g of bayas.

The most popular variety is produced from the distilled coconut sap, while the less popular one comes from the distilled sap of Nypa fruticans Wurmb, or ―sasa lambanog‖ as it is called in Infanta, Quezon, Philippines. This study focuses on the lambanog actors in the mangrove areas, a place not merely spaces for nipa palm trees grow but also spaces that take care of them, steadily allowing them to make lambanog and earn a good livelihood. However, instances occur when lambanog production declines as a result of environmental and structural constraints. How the working groupresponds to these impediments, and how the Enterprise sustains are the topics of interest in this research. Site visit, participant observation and key informants interview guided by semi-structured questionnaire checklists were conducted to gather the data. Findings revealed that lambanog actors have encountered natural constraints like climate change, flooding, and the nipa palmtrees are getting older. It is also found that government and organization leaders promoted the shift in distillery technology from traditional firewood to a modern rice hull.

  • Production of Popular Native Wines in the Philippines
    Production of Popular Native Wines in the Philippines by nobert soloria bermosa on Apr 25, 2008 Native wines produced in the Philippines are all 100% chemical-free because they are all produce in a natural process. If one day you happen to pay visit in the Philippines, this article will be of help to you especially if you are a native liquor or wine drinker or collector. Usually if we visit a certain place, we tend to get familiarize first with the kind of foods offered to us. Aside from the foods, the next thing that we get familiar with is the drinks. Food and drinks always go hand in hand. The following are list of wines locally manufactured in the Philippines. These are 100% chemical- free because they are all produce in natural methods. “Tapoy” or Rice Wine of Mountain Provinces Tapoy is similar to the rice wine of Japan called sake. This kind of wine is widely produce in the provinces of Cordilleras, specifically by the Ifugaos, the builder of the world -famous Rice Terraces, by the Igorots, and other ethnic tribes in the Mountain Provinces. This kind of wine is basically made by soaking raw glutinous rice in hot water for I hour. Drain and steam for 25 minutes and then spread in a tray to let it cool for 2 hours. The yeast and rice is then combined by hand until blended (as you can see in the picture). The mixture is then transferred in a container covered tightly with a lid and stored in a dry place and allow to ferment for 1 month.

  • Coconut-Based Technologies for the Edible Sector
    COCONUT-BASED TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE EDIBLE SECTOR By PRISCILLA C. SANCHEZ, Ph.D.* ABSTRACT Coconut as human food answers the need for diversification of its utilization. There are numerous food products derived from coconut, however, the paper describes technologies for processing and utilization of coconut that are adoptable in village scale. Detailed information on the description of the product and its uses, equipment and materials needed for its manufacture, labor requirement, description of the process and flow diagram and the analysis and stability of the products were given. Fifteen technologies were selected namely: edible oil from fresh coconut, coconut syrup, coconut sugar, buko (7-8 month coconut) in syrup, dried buko chips, coconut filled white soft cheese, coco yoghurt, cultured coconut skim milk-blend beverage, dehydrated edible mature coconut, nata de coco, coconut water vinegar, coconut water wine, coco champagne, coconut flour and products from coconut residue obtained from the wet process. The procedures are easily adoptable and require minimal investments. INTRODUCTION Coconut is one of the major crops of the Philippines. Approximately one-third of the population of the country is involved in the coconut industry. Copra, the main product from coconut, contributes about 25-30 percent of our annual foreign exchange earnings. Unfortunately, the coconut industry is meeting stiff competition from other vegetable oil sources such as soybean and other oilseeds. The demand for coconut oil therefore sharply declined. The economic recession miserably affects a great majority of Filipinos who depend heavily on coconut for their livelihood. There is a need for diversification of the utilization of coconut specifically for food to increase the demand for coconut thus relieving the coconut farmers from the effect of fluctuation of copra prices.
