PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

This chapter provides an introduction to this research study, including the
introduction, background of the study, objectives of the study, theoretical framework,
conceptual framework, scope and delimitation and definition of terms.

INTRODUCTION
Burger is a sandwich consisting of one or more cooked patties of ground meat,
usually beef, placed inside a sliced bun. Hamburgers are often served with lettuce,
bacon, tomato, onion, pickles, cheese and condiments such as mustards,
mayonnaise, ketchup, relish and green chili. The term hamburger originally derives
from Hamburg, Germanys second largest city. In High German, Burg means fortified
settlement or fortified refuge and is a widespread component of place names.
Hamburger in German is the domonym of Hamburg, similar to Frankfurter and wiener,
names for the other meat- based foods and demonyms of the cities of Frankfurt and
Vienna (Wien), respectively. The term burger, a back- formation, is associated with
many different types of sandwiches similar to a ground meat hamburger, sometimes of
different meats like the buffalo burger, venison, kangaroo, turkey, elk, lamb, salmon
burger or veggie burger.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Burger is introduced in late 1950s by the westerns colonized the Philippines.

Nowadays, you can find all kinds of burgers ranging from simple to the extremely
complicated. You have your traditional burger- plain, tender, not made complicated by
adding too many flavors. There are some restaurants that offers ridiculous burgers
which, by their size, it makes the consumer physically impossible to take a bite.
Regardless of the varieties, people are enticed that great burger should give a sense
of comfort because of the deliciousness and juicy feeling when you take a bite.
However, burgers can contribute to weight gain and have other harmful effects to
consumer health. According to the study of Stein who specialize in weight loss and
sports nutrition, the author stated that eating burger will gain weight if the customer
consumes more calories than the normal expend. Burgers can be high- calorie foods.
Stein added that a double hamburger is twice the calories. French fries large with a
regular soft drink. The researcher found that the burgers can be high in dietary
cholesterol and saturated fat. These can raise levels of cholesterols in your blood and
increase your risk of getting cardiovascular disease or heart disease. In addition, to
the previous statement, burgers can be high in sodium diet can lead to high blood
pressure and an increase risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney disease. Research
has also shown that foods in high in fat increase the risk of cancer.
According to the research conducted by the Philippine Health Statistics and
Department of Health, Cardiovascular disease or better known as Heart Disease, is

the leading illness that caused Filipinos death. DOH cited the main cause of the
problem is the poor lifestyle of the Filipino. Various factors considered as poor lifestyle.
It may be vicious habits, physical activity and nutrition.
To address and to be aware of this current situation or problem that most
Filipino people are having, researchers would like to the target population to lessen
the risk of having heart disease/ cardiovascular, stroke, hypertension or high blood
pressure and even risk of getting cancer. The study centre is the health benefits
getting from modification of the traditional beef patty to banana blossom patty. The
researchers desire to make best use of the resources for known as tropical country.
Banana tree is major staple food crop for millions of people in developing countries. In
the Philippines, bananas are cooked in ways that are similar to potatoes. A Filipino
person relates the banana tree is the ideal to look up to when it comes to a no
wastage policy because almost parts of banana tree can be used.
Researchers conduct a study through the method of questioning how banana
blossom can be tasted like beef patty and what are the health benefits will banana
blossom produce. Here are the following; bananas help lower cholesterol, it facilitates
reduction of cholesterol level because of four main water- soluble fibres such as
pectin, psyllium, guar gum and beta glucan effectively lower without causing any kind
of disturbance. Another health benefit is bananas cut down risk of stroke. According to
the study of the New Zealand journal, regular consumption of banana, as part of daily
diet, cut down risk of stroke related because of bananas are rich with high doses of
potassium reduce the incidence of stroke. Bananas reduce risk of various types of
3

cancer especially bowel cancer because it has antioxidants and dietary fibre.
Researchers conducted a trial for tasting banana blossom and making it like a beef
patty.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The objective of this research is to develop and evaluate the health benefits of
banana blossom compared with the usual beef patty. This banana blossom patty an
alternative burger patty and cheaper in cost compared with the existing beef patty.
a. To develop a banana blossom patty that comprises (composition of banana
patty.. ingredients)
b. To improve the packaging materials for the proposed banana blossom patty
c. To provide an alternative process and ingredients for a burger patty
d. To evaluate the banana blossom patty as substitute to the existing beef patty for
effective alternative use in burger sandwich.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY

The study aims to modify the poor lifestyle of the consumer by improving the
health benefits from the burger consumption. The researchers would like to determine
the difference of existing product- traditional beef patty and new invented productbanana blossom patty. The aspect considered for this study is pricing and costing,
taste, distinctiveness and packaging of the two different products. Variables other than
what is specified will not be treated in the research.
Marketing strategy is not included to the study.

PROFILE OF THE RESPONDENTS

A total of 50 respondents were interviewed. 48% were female and 52% were
male. 34% of them are 13 years old, 66% are 14 to 25 years old. 100% of the
respondents are students.

DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE

In order to come out certain information, lots of effort in searching is involved.

This chapter includes the methods of research used, the sources of data and
procedures on gathering data such as interviews, internet surfing and some related
articles and blogs.
Interview- large number of information, opinion and exercise are required to
complete the data. The researchers consult people who were very much involved in
this kind of study. Gathering information are done through asking about the problem,
opinion that will contribute in doing research study and experience the locate effects of
it. The researchers conducted interviews and asked some questions that will be
helpful to the study.
Research- it also play one of the important roles in data gathering. It is major
instrument used in data gathering because it is very available and accessible to collect
information.
