Potentials of underutilized plants for nutritious food preparation

Perez, L.B.
The study developed highly nutritious salad recipes that are rich in vitamin A or protein and can satisfy at least one third of the RENI of Filipino adults and eventually be introduced to the local market using three kinds of weeds: pancit-pancitan (Peperomia pellucid Linn.), takip kuhol (Centella asiatica Linn.), and talinum (Talinum fruticosum Linn.). In terms of color, aroma, taste, and texture, pancit-pancitan salad obtained the highest rating both by untrained laboratory and consumer panel. With regards to general acceptability, the untrained laboratory panel rated the three recipes as 'Very Much Acceptable', while consumer panel rated pancit pancitan and takip kuhol salad 'Very Much Acceptable' and talinum salad as 'Slightly Acceptable'. Consumer preference test showed that pancit-pancitan salad ranked as number one among others. Moreover, one serving of pancit-pancitan salad can satisfy 34.54% for RENI of Vitamin A for male and 38% for female adult aged 19-65 years old and above. For the talinum salad, it can satisfy 46.77% of RENI for male and 51.45% for female adult aged 19-65 years old and above. And in terms of protein, one serving of takip kuhol salad can satisfy 30.72% of RENI for male and 35.48% for female adult aged 19-65 years old and above. The cost of producing one serving of the most acceptable and most preferred salad recipe (pancit-pancitan salad) is PhP 15.18. The use of edible weeds in salad preparation can definitely result to a low cost but highly nutritious salad recipe.
