Chapter 1
Introduction
In recent years, the wheat flour industry the Philippines has been offering a diversified product range from bread to noodles, pasta, biscuits and other baked products, resulting to a greater need for employment so more can have jobs. The industry is growing at fast rate due to increase in population and purchase power, tastes and preference change. And the supply of feeds from flour by-product as well as availability of cheap noodles grows. Four of the largest millers on the Philippines alone comprise the bulk of potential market for suppliers of fortificants (Vitamin A and Iron), as well as equipments or machineries, and labor in fortification. Over the past few years, different kinds of crisis or problems are reported and felt here in the Philippines and in other parts of the world, one of which is Health Problem or Malnutrition. Today, we are experiencing malnutrition. Malnutrition is the condition that results from taking an unbalanced diet in which certain nutrients are lacking, in excess, or in the wrong proportion the World Health Organization cities malnutrition as the greatest single threat to the world’s public health. Testing and studies show that cassava and potato have an ability to become flour. But it has poor availability because it is tropical root crop. So we decided to make a study about Banana. This study will help us to find the way that the flour or banana flour can be a great help to us. There’s so many fruit in the world and each of them have their uses. And the example of this is BANANA.

    Perhaps more than any other agricultural product the banana reflects the colonial, neo-colonial, economic nationalism and contemporary stages of the evolution of the world economy.2 The banana was introduced to the North Americas in the late 1800’s because of the invention of the refrigerated ship.3 The influence of technology is evident even in these early stages of banana globalization. Since then, the banana has remained popular worldwide but has faced its share of problems. Between 1993-2001, there were disputes between America and the European Union (EU) due to a complex problem involving banana licensing. The stages of production, transportation and consumption all create a complex and important story to the most consumed fruit worldwide because its history intertwines with political and social trends.…

    Hunger is one of the root causes to poverty due to the exponential growth of the human population. The effects of hunger are diverse and have a negative effect on the growth and life span of a person. Scientists believe that they can help alleviate hunger problems through alteration and modification of genes in foods. The research in this paper will give the pros and cons of GM foods and help answer the following questions that revolve around if society needs genetically modified foods to end global hunger, what are the negative and positive effects of preventing global hunger, what heath issues have been linked to genetic engineered foods, what are the benefits and concerns of genetic engineering foods and what effects genetically modified foods have on the environment.…

    Maize is the second most widely grown cereal crop after wheat for human consumption in many parts of the world. The importance and role played by this crop towards achieving food security in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) cannot be overlooked. Indeed, maize remains the most cultivated crop in Africa and contributes significantly to food and feed security (FAO 2015). In SSA, it contributes up to 51% of all the consumed calories in the diet. Actually, the nutritive value of maize way exceeds that of wheat flour and is slightly below that of rice. Most developed countries use maize as an animal feed and for the industrial production of ethanol, soaps, paints, corks, powders and pharmaceuticals, but the main use in developing countries remains…

    After various testing performed by various scientists and experts it “is clearly evident, GM technology can quadruple its maize output, more than triple sweet potato output and increase banana output by eight times” (Wambugu 84). With this much crop increases multiplied by all farms throughout the world mankind can cause world hunger to disappear and replace it with excess food so that none shall have to worry about starving or going hungry ever again. While there are some people who voice their concerns over the safety of genetically modified foods they can be assured that “rigorous testing takes place to ensure GM foods are safe” (Wambugu 82) and as a result “there is no evidence that genetically engineered foods currently on the market pose any human health concern or that they are any less safe than those foods produced through traditional breeding” (Hammerstrom 122). This means that any potential health risks are discovered and rectified before the food is even close to going on the shelves for consumers to purchase. With these potential benefits mixed with the genuine feasibility of achievement they all hold shows that taking the risks involved will be well worth…

The starch root, resembling a long thick-skinned potato, is major source of sustenance for more than 250 million people in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

    This study evaluated the effect of intervention on short-term memory of selected participants. There were 38 participants who completed the study: 29 female students, and 9 male students. The primary experimenter (PE ') used 20 stimulus words for the study. To test the interference effect, 5 articles/reading materials were prepared for the experimental group. The participants were tasked to recall as many words as they can from the list of 20 stimulus words until they are signaled to stop. It was predicted that intervention does have an effect on the ability to recall words but results indicated that the number of words recalled were not significantly different between reading five articles after the stimulus was presented and recalling without any interference.…

GMOS have had particular turns led to their DNA by genetic engineering techniques.In fact,GM foods are already becoming a part of our life.(Maessen, 1997) The 2010 estimate, the most recent, says that 925 million people were undernourished in 2010 (FAO 2010). There are clearly some very real issues that need to be resolved. The purpose of this paper is to discuss whether GM foods can solve the problem of world hungry .It covers two advantages of GM food which are increasing production and effects of environment protection,finally it will cover a disadvantage for human health.…

    Rice (Oryza sativa) is the most important food crop of the Philippines and is the staple item of Filipino diet. The country is the eight largest producer of rice in the world, accounting for 2.8% of global rice production. In 2010, nearly 15.7 million metric tons of palay were produced, which accounted for 21.86% of gross value added in agriculture and 2.37% of GNP. The national average yield, however, remained relatively low compared with that of other Asian countries.
