  • Maja Blanca Recipe
    Maja Blanca Recipe Maja Blanca is a Filipino dessert made from coconut milk, cornstarch, and sugar. Often called Coconut Pudding, this luscious dessert is easy to make and the ingredients are very common.Unknown to many, the original Maja Blanca Recipe does not include corn and milk. In this recipe, I added whole sweet kernel corn and condensed milk for added taste and a more creamy texture.Since Christmas season is just around the corner, this would make a very good holiday dessert especially during potluck Christmas Parties and Noche Buena as well. Preparing maja blanca is easy. All you need to do is follow each step indicated in this maja blanca recipe. It is important that you give the coconut milk sometime to cook; it is also recommended that you try your best to mix all the ingredients until the texture becomes as smooth at it can be. For better results, cook the corn a little longer to release its flavor. Try this Maja Blanca Recipe and let me know what you think. Maja Blanca Recipe Ingredients • 4 cups coconut milk • 3/4 cup cornstarch • 14 ounces condensed milk • 3/4 cup fresh milk • 3/4 cup granulated sugar • 15 ounces whole sweet kernel corn • 5 tbsp toasted grated coconut Cooking Procedure 1. Pour the coconut milk in a cooking pot and bring to a boil. 2. Add the sugar, condensed milk, and whole sweet kernel corn then stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. 3. Simmer for 8 minutes 4. Combine the fresh milk and cornstarch then whisk until the cornstarch is diluted 5.

  • 272 New Technologies on the Production of Virgin
    NEW TECHNOLOGIES ON THE PRODUCTION OF VIRGIN COCONUT OIL AND THEIR APPLICABILITY TO INTEGRATED COCONUT PROCESSING MODULES Divina Bawalan* Abstract The increasing number of published books, literatures, results of medical researches and internet information extolling the beneficial effects of coconut oil to the human body led to the development of a “niche” and very high value market for a special type of coconut oil which is processed differently from the traditionally known refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD) coconut oil. From a much maligned substance in the 80’s which has been claimed by American Soybean Association as causing heart disease and atherosclerosis, this high quality version of coconut oil which is now generally referred to as virgin coconut oil has resurrected its reputation and made a dramatic turn-around in the world market as a functional food that not only nourishes but also heals. Dubbed as the ‘healthiest oil on earth”, virgin coconut oil (VCO) is processed from the fresh and mature kernel of the coconut and its derivatives coconut milk and coconut milk residue. The paper presents salient information on the 8 different processes for producing VCO (4 from fresh kernel, 3 from coconut milk and 1 process from coconut milk residue), the advantages and disadvantages of each process, the quality control requirements and critical control points to be followed to insure the production of high quality VCO, the applicable scale of operation for each process and the required machineries and equipment. The sensory evaluation attributes to assess the quality of VCO in the absence of laboratory analysis are also discussed.

  • Background the Philippines Is an Archipelago (Chain of Islands) Comprised of Over 7,100 Islands in the Western Pacific Ocean. Or
    Beatriz Dykes, PhD, RD, LD, FADA Background The Philippines is an archipelago (chain of islands) comprised of over 7,100 islands in the western Pacific Ocean. Originally inhabited by indigenous tribes such as the Negroid Aetas and the pro-Malays. Beginning in 300 BC up to 1500 AD, massive waves of Malays (from Malaysia, Sumatra, Singapore, Brunei, Burma, and Thailand) immigrated to the islands. Arab, Hindu and Chinese trading also led to permanent settlements during by these different groups during this period. In 1521, Spain colonized the Philippines, naming it after King Phillip II and bringing Christianity with them. The Spanish colonization which lasted 350 years, imparted a sense of identification with Western culture that formed an enduring part of the Philippine consciousness, unmatched anywhere else in Asia. The prevalence of Spanish names to this day (common first names like Ana, Beatriz, Consuelo, Maria and last names as Gonzales, Reyes, and Santos) reflects this long-standing influence of the Spanish culture. The United States acquired the Philippines from Spain for 20 million dollars after winning the Spanish-American war through the Treaty of Paris in 1898, introducing public education for the first time. During this period, health care, sanitation, road building, and a growing economy led to a higher standard of living among Filipinos and the Philippines became the third largest English speaking country in the world. Above all, the US occupation provided a basis for a democratic form of government. World War II had the Filipinos fighting alongside the Americans against the Japanese. The Death March and Corregidor became symbolic of the Philippine alliance with the United States.
