b.1 Procedures
In order to create the ice cream, first, is to gather all the ingredients needed, which
is abundant in the Fabrigaras Street or in the Public Market in Catbalogan City. After
gathering the ingredients, rinse the ingredients that are used in creating the ice cream
to avoid it from contaminating. Then, extract the seeds from the jackfruit and put it in
a bowl. After extracting the seeds, transfer it in a pot and boil it in 30 minutes until
the seeds are a little soft. After 30 minutes, transfer the seeds in a bowl and peel or
remove the outer skin of it and mash it with the mortar and pestle. Then, sift it until
the excess skin is removed. After that, mix all the other ingredients including the
condensed milk, heavy cream and sterilized milk in a bowl and mash it until it is not
lumpy. Then, blend it until it becomes smooth. After blending, whisk it for 3 minutes
to prevent it from crystallization. Finally, transfer the ice cream in a container and put
In analyzing the data, the researchers will conduct a survey among ten respondents.
Respondents will rate the product from a scale of 1-10 based on taste, odor, and
appearance, making individual ratings for each parameter for two set-ups. Set-ups A and
B, wherein set-up A will be the controlled and B will be the experimental. Overall ratings
will also be considered. The statistical tool that will be used in the study will be T-test as
the researchers will want to see if the t-computation will be higher or lower and so that it
will be easier to make decisions as to whether the hypotheses will be rejected or accepted.

ABSTRACT
KEYWORDS:
A. INTRODUCTION
The researchers were motivated into making a product that is not only appealing
to the taste but also healthy for the body. The study aims to use jackfruit seeds in
most common in the local community. It appears in the market and is abundant in the
months of June to August. Jackfruit pulp is eaten fresh as it possesses high nutritional
value and has been reported to contain high amounts of antioxidants, vitamin B6, and
riboflavin. However, jackfruit seeds are less popular and are just eaten when boiled
and roasted. But studies show that seeds contain similar compositions as that of
grains. It is packed with protein and is loaded with zinc, iron, calcium, copper,
anemia, improves digestive health, boosts vision, and can help in building muscles as
Since nowadays, children prefer sweets and tastier treats over fruit and
vegetables, the study will provide a product that can lessen the problem.

excellent example of a food prized in some areas of the world and allowed to go to
waste in others. The seeds, which appeal to all tastes, may be boiled or roasted and
eaten, or boiled and preserved in syrup like chestnuts. They have also been
successfully canned in brine, in curry, and, like baked beans, in tomato sauce. They
are often included in curried dishes. Roasted, dried seeds are ground to make flour
Jackfruit seeds contain compounds that have an antimicrobial effect, which could
help prevent contamination with bacteria that cause food borne illnesses. These seeds
have also been used in traditional medicine to help with digestive tract problems,
Nowadays, children prefer sweets over fruits and vegetables that are healthier for
them. In this study, a type of sweets will be created with the use of the main
usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, and often combined
with sugar or sugar substitutes. Typically, flavorings and colorings are added in
addition to stabilizers. The mixture is stirred to incorporate air spaces and cooled
below the freezing point of water to prevent detectable ice crystals from forming.

The findings / product of this study will contribute to the benefit of people in society
especially children prefer eating junk foods such as sweets over fruits and vegetables.
So the researchers came up with this study. As said earlier, the main components that
will be used in making the ice cream are packed with nutrients that can improve one’s
health. This will make eating healthy foods, such as the jackfruit seeds, easier since
Asides from this, new jobs can be created for people who are in need of livelihood,

water absorption (205%) and oil absorption (93%). Substitution of wheat flour with
the seed flour, at the level of 5, 10 and 20% markedly reduced the gluten strength of
the mixed dough. The Brabender amylogram (6% concentration, db) of seed starch
showed that its pasting temperature was 81 °C and its viscosity was moderate,
remained constant during a heating cycle and retrograded slightly on cooling. The

The total antioxidant capacity and phenolic content of edible portions and seeds of
avocado, jackfruit, longan, mango and tamarind were studied. In addition, the
relationship between antioxidant activity, phenolic content and the different degrees of
heating of mango seed kernel was investigated. The seeds showed a much higher
antioxidant activity and phenolic content than the edible portions. The contribution of all
the fruit seed fractions to the total antioxidant activity and phenolic content was always
>70%. ABTS cation radical-scavenging and FRAP assays were employed for the
determination of antioxidant activity; FCR assay was used to measure the total phenolic
content. The AEAC and FRAP of ethanolic extracts of MSKP products increased to a
maximum after heating to 160 °C. The total phenolic content in extracts of MSKP
products increased from 50.3 to 160 mg/g GAE with an increase in heating temperature
Control of ice crystallization during the manufacture of ice cream is important for
the development of proper texture, product quality and storage stability. Improving our
well as of the effects of formulation and process factors, may lead to improvements in
processingtechniques.

History of Ice Cream Much of the early history of ice cream remains unproven
folklore. In the Eastern hemisphere ice cream was appreciated and enjoyed largely by
royalty. Ice cream was the favourite dessert for the Caliphs of Baghdad. The Arabs were
the first to add sugar to ice cream and were also the first to make ice cream commercially,
having factories in the 10th century. It was sold in the markets of all Arab cities in the
past. The Arabs introduced ice cream to the West, through Sicily. In China, during the
Song dynasty people began putting fruit juice in the water used to create the ice. Milk
began to be used in the Yuan dynasty as the Mongols, who were nomads, introduced milk
to China. In India, as early as the sixteenth century, the Mughal emperors used relays of
horsemen to bring ice from the Hind Kush to Delhi where it was used in fruit sorbets.
Kulfi is believed to have been introduced to South Asia by the Mughal conquest. Its
origins trace back to the cold snacks and desserts of Arab and Mediterranean cultures and
it is very closely related to the Persian ice cream. Kulfi is still enjoyed by Indians today.
(1978) wrote in "The History of Ice Cream" that Charles I of England hosted a
sumptuous state banquet hundreds of years ago. The "coup de grace" of the delicacies of
the day was cold and resembled freshfallen snow but was much creamier and sweeter
than any other after-dinner dessert. The king wanted the delicacy to be served only at the
royal table and rewarded his French chef with a lifetime pension on condition that he did
not divulge his secret recipe to anyone, thereby keeping ice cream as a royal prerogative.
Ice cream was introduced to the United States by colonists who brought their ice cream
recipes with them., Many of the confectioners were Frenchmen, who sold ice cream at
their shops in New York and other cities during the colonial era. President George
Washington and President Thomas Jefferson are reputed to have regularly eaten and
served ice cream. Another narration from lAICM history states that Dolley Madison, wife
of U.S. President James Madison, served ice cream at her husband's Inaugural Ball in
1813. The first Canadian to start selling ice cream was Thomas Webb of Toronto, around
1850. William Neilson produced his first commercial batch of ice cream in Toronto in
1893, and his company produced ice cream at that location for close to 100 years. In a
monograph published by the Royal Society of Chemistry "The Science of Ice Cream", it
was stated that the history of ice cream is closely associated with the !0 development of
refrigeration techniques (Caroline and Weir, 1993). Before the development of modern
refrigeration, ice cream was a luxury item reserved for special occasions since ice cream
manufacture was a laborious process. Ice was cut commercially from lakes and ponds
during the winter and stored in large heaps in holes in the ground or in wood-frame ice
houses, insulated by straw. Ice cream was made by hand in a large bowl surrounded by
packed ice and salt. The temperature of the ingredients was reduced by the mixture of
11
crushed ice and salt. The salty water was cooled by the ice, and was liquid below the
freezing point of pure water.The immersed container can make better contact with the
salty water and ice mixture than it could with ice alone. The immense labour involved in
making ice cream was reduced considerably when Nancy Johnson invented the hand-
cranked freezer in 1846, a device that is still in use in certain parts of the world (Khanna,
2004). However Nancy Johnson did not patent her invention, hence the credit of
patenting goes to a Mr. Young who invented a similar type of freezer in 1848 and called
it the "Johnson Patent Ice Cream Freezer". Commercial production began in North
America in Baltimore, Maryland, USA as early as 1851 by Mr. Jacob Fussell who is
considered to be the father of the American ice cream industry. 11 However, the
invention of the hand-cranked freezer did not really facilitate largescale production of ice
cream for commercial purposes. The invention of the continuous freezer by Clarence
Vogt and subsequent modifications and improvements made by other manufacturers gave
an impetus to allow ice cream manufacture to blossom into an industry. The ice cream
cone was used in Paris in 1807 and plans are underway for the celebration of the
