The development of a moist cake with pili
pulp and nuts is supplementary to the long line of
products made from pili. Only a few developers utilized
the pili pulp as the main ingredient in the formulation of
their products. This study introduces pili pulp as major
component that will trigger the consumer’s delicate
preference. To ensure its quality, nutrition information,
chemical analysis, shelf life evaluation and consumer
testing were adopted as parameters. Based on the result
of the nutrition information, a 100g sample has 400
calories; 30.4g total fat; 8.24g saturated fat; 0 transfat;
1.90g polyunsaturated fat; 35.44g total carbohydrate;
1.46g dietary fiber; 18.49g sugars; 6.80g protein; 3.98%
vitamin A and 19.5g of magnesium. On the other hand,
chemical analysis shows the following results: ph-5.49,
total soluble solids- 11 brix and moisture content 8.70%.
Outcome of the shelf life study revealed that the finished
product will only last for three days if stored under room
temperature but once refrigerated, the product will
sustain for fifteen days provided it is stored in a properly
sealed container or polyethylene bag. Consumer
evaluation was conducted at SSC Sorsogon City Campus
among 200 respondents to test acceptability using the 9
point Hedonic Scale. As a result, one hundred eighty two
(182) respondents evaluated the product as “liked very
much” while eighteen (18) rated the product as “liked
moderately”. Thus, the overall acceptability is 7.91
which is equivalent to like very much. Furthermore,
laboratory batch samples were produced as introductory
products to the consume
