Author: Alleoh Clark Prondo

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the feasibility of the ampalaya seeds as a brewed coffee. The researchers used powdered Ampalaya seeds in this study.

Momordica Charantia or ampalaya seeds contain iron and folic acid which are essential for the production of the red blood cells and the formulation of hemoglobin and myoglobin.

Coffee is usually drunk hot, black or with cream and sugar and also drunk cold as iced coffee, specially summer. People are used of drinking coffee every morning to warmth their body and at night to avoid being sleepy. But coffee contains a stimulant called caffeine.

The result of this will determine if the coffee made from ampalaya seeds can be use as a substitute for the commercial coffee.

After researching and collecting the raw materials, the researchers were able to begin the experimentation. The coffee was obtained by drying, grinding, and roasting the seeds of ampalaya, and boiled. After boiling, the coffee was manually extracted with the use of a clean cloth.

The researchers conducted a survey among __ persons rating the quality of the commercial coffee and ampalaya seed-coffee in a scale of 1-5. Correlation was used to determine the validity and reliability between the two variables.
