CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Chutney is a savory condiment made from slow-cooked fruits or

vegetables, vinegar, and spices. Chutney is originated from India. Chutneys are

made by slow cooking fruit or vegetables with ginger, garlic, and chilies. Spices

and vinegar are added to preserve the chutney and give it a tangy flavor. (Michale

Leroy, 2021) The term chutney comes from the East Indian chatni, meaning

“strongly spiced”. Chutneys have a fruit base, but many non-sweet vegetables can

also be used. Chutney is a condiment of chopped fruits, vinegar, spices, and sugar

cooked into a chunky spread. Chutney is excellent with many types of fruit,

delicious as a spread or fruit dip, and adds a fantastic spice when used as an

ingredient in recipes. (Peggy Trowbridge Filippone, 2022)

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is a vegetable from the nightshade

family (which also includes tomatoes, okra, and zucchini) that grows in a variety

of shapes, sizes, and colors, and thrives in hot climates and during the summer

months. (Jess Kapadia, 2022). Eggplant has antioxidants like vitamins A and C,

which help protect your cells against damage. It's also high in natural plant

chemicals called polyphenols, which may help cells do a better job of processing

sugar if you have diabetes. (Stephanie Watson, 2021) while tomatoes are the

major dietary source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been linked to many

health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. They are also a

great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate, and vitamin K. (Adda Bjarnadottir,

MS, RDN, 2021).

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), flowering plant of the nightshade family

(Solanaceae), cultivated extensively for its edible fruits. Labelled as a vegetable

for nutritional purposes, tomatoes are a good source of vitamin C and the

phytochemical lycopene. (Brittanica, 2022)

The top five producing countries are China (28.4 million tons; 57% of

world's total), India (13.4 million tons; 27% of world's total), Egypt (1.2 million

tons), Turkey (0.82 million tons), and Iran (0.75 million tons). Production for the

second quarter of 2022 in the Philippines increased to 106.87 thousand metric

tons or by 0.2 percent, from 106.66 thousand metric tons output in the same

quarter of 2021. Ilocos Region registered the highest production with 65.39

thousand metric tons, sharing 61.2 percent to the total eggplant production this

quarter.

Worldwide 177,118,248 tonnes of tomato is produced per year. China is

the largest tomato producer in the world with 56,423,811 tonnes production

volume per year.Production of tomato in April to June 2022 was recorded

at 71.59 thousand metric tons. This was -6.4 percent lower than the 76.47

thousand metric tons output in the same period of 2021. Ilocos Region, the

leading producer of tomato this quarter with 24.41 thousand metric tons, shared

34.1 percent to the country’s total tomato output. Central Luzon and particularly

in Cagayan Valley followed with 12.6 percent and 10.2 percent shares,

respectively.

We, the researchers are 4th year students Bachelor of Science in Industrial

Technology Major in Food Technology in Cagayan State University-Carig

Campus is motivated to do this research because we want to introduce chutney

mainly in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan. We want to develop a chutney that has

healthiest choice of ingredients and healthiest way of food preparation process.

The necessity for individuals to be healthy in order to survive pandemics makes it

particularly timely. Tomato-Eggplant Chutney will help the consumers not only

enjoy our delicious product but to enjoy also the health benefits of our product.

Hence, the present study aim to utilize tomato and eggplant as a main raw

material for chutney. Moreover, a relatively very few experimental studies were

conducted on the Tomato-Eggplant Chutney abroad. In the Philippines, Tomato-

Eggplant Chutney is not popular as compared to other spreads like jam and

FOREIGN RELATED LITERATURE

The original chutney of India (Hindi: chatni) was usually a relish made

from fresh fruits and spices. Chutneys are served with almost every meal in India,

especially as relishes with curries, but also as sauces for hot dishes (especially

meats). They can be fresh or cooked, and are made from a wide variety of

ingredients. They range in flavor from sweet or sour, spicy or mild, or any

combination of these; they can be thin or chunky and can be made with fruits or

vegetables or both. (Ehler, 2022)

The wild species originated in the Andes Mountains of South America,

probably mainly in Peru and Ecuador, and is thought to have been domesticated in

pre-Columbian Mexico; its name is derived from the Náhuatl (Aztec) word

tomatl. The tomato was introduced to Europe by the Spanish in the early 16th

century, and the Spanish and Italians seem to have been the first Europeans to

adopt it as a food. Thomas Jefferson is known to have raised them at Monticello

in 1781. The tomato was used for food in Louisiana as early as 1812, but not in

the northeastern states until about 1835. It did not attain widespread popularity in

the United States until the early 20th century. The plant is now grown

commercially throughout the world. Tomato, (Solanum lycopersicum), flowering

plant of the nightshade family (Solanaceae), cultivated extensively for its edible

fruits. Labelled as a vegetable for nutritional purposes, tomatoes are a good source

of vitamin C and the phytochemical lycopene. The fruits are commonly eaten raw

in salads, served as a cooked vegetable, used as an ingredient of various prepared

dishes, and pickled. Additionally, a large percentage of the world’s tomato crop is

used for processing; products include canned tomatoes, tomato juice, ketchup,

puree, paste, and “sun-dried” tomatoes or dehydrated pulp. (Petruzzello, 2022)

Eggplant, (Solanum melongena), also called aubergine or Guinea squash,

tender perennial plant of the nightshade family (Solanaceae), grown for its edible

fruits. Eggplant requires a warm climate and has been cultivated in its native

Southeast Asia since remote antiquity. The fruit is a large egg-shaped berry with

a glossy surface that varies in colour from dark purple to red, pink, yellowish, or

white and is sometimes striped; the colour and shape of the white variety is the

source of the common name. (Petruzzello, 2022)

pectin and with an addition of vinegar, dried fruit, and spices for savory notes.

This cuisine often pairs mango-rich and acidic chutneys with spicy mains. There

is no added pectin in a chutney, and the added sugar tends to be a little bit lower.

(Werner, 2015)

Tomato is one of the most important vegetable crops in the Philippines. It

is grown for both home and market in almost any community in the country.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), popularly known as “Kamatis” in the

Philippines, is a savory, typically red, edible fruit, as well as the plant which bears

it. The tomato fruit is consumed in diverse ways, including raw, as an ingredient

in many dishes and sauces, and in drinks. While it is botanically a fruit, it is

considered a vegetable for culinary purposes, which has caused some confusion.

(Pinoy entre, 2010)

In the Philippines, eggplant is known as talong and is the number one

vegetable in terms of production area. An average of 21,225 hectares is planted

with eggplant each year. Hence, eggplant is an important source of income to

many Asian farmers. The benefits of eggplant do not stop with the farmers. It is

also beneficial for human health because it is high in fiber and water, rich in anti-

oxidants, and a good source of vitamins and minerals. (ISAAA Blog, 2016)

The table shows the chemical analysis laboratory tested by Department of

Agriculture, the moisture in terms of percentage is 19.37 while the ash in terms of

Moisture content in food can have a significant impact on factors such as

the product’s taste, texture, appearance, shape, and weight. It has implications on

legal and labeling requirements, economically important requirements, the shelf

life of the food or food products, food quality measurements, and food processing

operations. Excess water in a food product can cause an increase in the rate of

microbial growth, which can not only spoil a product before it reaches the shelves

but could also decrease the length of time it can stay fresh for. This has a

significant impact on whether or not the products reach their advertised use-by

date. 0-25 % is stable percentage in terms of moisture content. This indicates that

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.)Chutney

is shelf-stable foods that can safely sit on the pantry shelf for at least one year and

do not have to be cooked or refrigerated to eat safely.

Determining the ash content in food samples is part of the proximate

analysis necessary for nutritional evaluation. This ensures the safety of foods,

making sure there are no toxic minerals present. Ash content in food can be an

indication of how much processing has taken place as natural foods have a lower

ash content compared to more processed food. The lower the ash level, the better

quality of food. This indicates that Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and Eggplant

(Solanum melongena L.) Chutney is safe for consumption.

CHAPTER 5

SUMMARY CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Summary

This chapter presents the summary of findings, conclusions and

recommendations. After reviewing the outcomes of the previous chapter,

recommendations were developed and formed.

The processing of tomato and eggplant into chutney is another product of

potential commercial value especially for home industry in the region. Jams and

marmalades are now available in our local markets nationwide. To develop

tomato and eggplant into chutney gives interest to the researcher due to its

unfamiliarity of chutney in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan.

Fifteen (15) laboratory panelists were presented the three (3) formulated

products for evaluation on aroma, color, texture, taste and general acceptability.

The results of the three trials were subjected to be presented to fifty (50)

consumer type respondents of various aged groups.

The field tests done to fifty (50) consumer type respondents of various

aged group gave a favorable response to the newly developed products from

tomato and eggplant for commercial chutney production. Fifty percent (50%) like
27Cagayan State University
College of Industrial Technology
Carig Campus

the product very much, 30% like it much, 12% like it moderately and 8 % like it

slightly.

The proximate composition of the product are as follows: moisture content

is 19.37% which means that Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and Eggplant

(Solanum melongena L.)Chutney is shelf-stable foods that can safely sit on the

pantry shelf for at least one year and do not have to be cooked or refrigerated to

eat safely while in ash content is 0.56% which means that the lower the ash level,

the better quality of food. This indicates that Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) Chutney is safe for consumption.

Conclusion:

Based on the result of the study, the following conclusions are drawn:

1. Treatment 1 is the best acceptable in developing tomato-eggplant

chutney among the three (3) treatment in terms of its aroma, color, texture and

taste.

2. The best combination of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and Eggplant

(Solanum melongena L.) in making Chutney is 120 grams of Tomato and 360

grams of Eggplant.

3. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.)

Chutney is acceptable to consumers at a level of “like very much”.
