The main objective of the study is to evaluate the optimization of sweet potato
flour is to evaluate the optimization of sweet potato flour in muffin making. Also to
evaluate the sensory characteristics of the muffin. The raw materials used were of good
quality from sweet peeled potato of Ipomoea Batatas of medium size and yellow color
The raw materials used were of good quality fresh sweet potato of Ipomoea
Batatas specie, of medium size and yellow color; cake flour, refined sugar, baking
powder, salt, fresh egg, evaporated milk and butter. The utensils used were knife,
chopping board, utility tray, mixing bowl, weighing scale, ladle, casserole, cookie sheet,
strainer, peeler, oven thermometer, measuring cup (liquid), measuring cup (solid) and
measuring spoon. The utensils were borrowed from PUP Pilot Plant.
The study used three (3) variables the cake flour, sweet potato flour and fat varied
from different quantity to make fifteen (15) formulations. These were subjected to
Scoring – color, texture, taste / flavor, tenderness, odor / aroma, firmness and for
general acceptability. All the data needed in color, flavor, firmness, odor/ aroma and
Microbial Analysis was undertaken in yeast and mold count. Also, it includes the
Results of the study showed that the 12th formulations sample is the most
acceptable product for the ten (10) panelists and it was noted that it was because of the
milk and butter were subjected to the procedure stated in figure 3 and were subjected to
sensory evaluation.
In texture evaluation, formulation 12 got the highest mean. In taste / flavor evaluation,
formulation 1 and 8 got the highest mean. In tenderness evaluation, formulation 12 got
the highest mean. In odor / aroma evaluation, formulation 12 got the highest mean. In
With the use of the hedonic rating scale (HRS), it showed that formulation 12 is
Based on the results of the study, the following are hereby given as the proponents
recommendation:
• Further study on the packaging material used and temperature of storage to the
• It is also recommended to use other variety of sweet potato for further study on
• Decrease the level of Camote Flour to improve the Flavor of the product.
• Decrease the level of Cake Flour and Fat to improve the Tenderness of the
product.
