ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
This research is exploring the potential of jackfruit seeds as a peanut butter alternative. Jackfruit
seeds, rich in nutrients and typically discarded, are presenting a promising substitute. The study is
analyzing the nutritional content of jackfruit seeds, comparing them with peanuts, and developing a
spreadable product. We are focusing on optimizing the texture, taste, and shelf life of the jackfruit seed
spread. Conducting sensory evaluations and consumer acceptability tests is determining its appeal.
Additionally, we are evaluating the environmental and economic impacts of repurposing jackfruit seeds. By
investigating these aspects, the study is aiming to establish jackfruit seeds as a nutritious, allergen-free,
This presents a review conducted by the researcher on local and foreign literature and studies that are
relates to the present study. The review provides insights for the framework of the study, serves as source of
information for the development of items, provides research instruments to support the findings and
implication on the result of the study.
Jackfruit
Scientific Name: Artocarpus heterophyllus
Common Name/ Local Name: Langka, kanthal, kathal, kathar
Tagalog Name: Langka
The Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is a well-known fruit in many Asian countries. Jackfruit seeds
are underutilized and less acknowledged by people, but they have considerable nutritional benefits and
can be considered as a potential functional food ingredient. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, a
large number of studies have been carried out concerning the composition and health implications of
jackfruit seeds. However, in broader manner there is a need to explore the information about the
commercial production of jackfruit seeds and their incorporation in food products. Products with
incorporated jackfruit seed flour possess better nutraceutical appeal, leading to improved consumer
acceptability. The present study attempted to review the health-promoting effects of jackfruit seeds with
special emphasis on their applications in the food. It also reveals the valorization of jackfruit seeds in
various value-added products along with their effects on the different properties of the products.

Nutritional Analysis
Proximate Analysis: Both jackfruit seed butter and peanut butter will be analyzed for moisture, ash, protein,
fat, and carbohydrate content using standard AOAC methods.
Mineral Analysis: Mineral content (calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and zinc) will be determined using
atomic absorption spectroscopy.
Vitamin Content: Vitamin E and B-complex vitamins will be assessed using high-performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC).
Sensory Evaluation
Panel Selection: A panel of 15 untrained consumers will be recruited.
Evaluation: The panelists will assess both jackfruit seed butter and peanut butter based on appearance, texture,
taste, aroma, and overall acceptability using a 9-point hedonic scale.
Statistical Analysis
Nutritional Data: Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and t-tests will be used to compare the
nutritional content of jackfruit seed butter and peanut butter.
Sensory Data: Analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be performed to determine significant differences in sensory
attributes between the two butters.
Consumer Survey: Data from the survey will be analyzed using descriptive statistics to identify significant trends
in consumer preferences.
Ethical Considerations
Informed consent will be obtained from all participants.
The study will adhere to ethical guidelines for human research, ensuring participant
confidentiality and the right to withdraw at any time.
Limitations
The study will be limited to a small sample size and a specific geographical location,
which may affect the generalizability of the results.
