 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction

Immune system works as a security system which helps our body fight against many infections. In

addition, it’s important to eat foods that is rich in vitamins and in fiber that will help the body to have

strong immune system against any illnesses. Based on the observation of the study many students

experiencing laziness in terms of not eating breakfast and also lack of healthy foods sustain by the body

of a person that will help the body to be physically & mentally active inside and outside the school also,

A papaya of an average size has so much amount of Vitamin C which is 200 percent of our daily need

Therefore, it is quite obvious how it helps enhance our immune system.

The papaya is a good source of Ca++ and an excellent source of vitamins A, B1, B2 and C.

It’s protein content is approximately 5%. The nutritional value of the fruit depends on the variety,

growing conditions, and ripeness upon consumption (Sankat & Maharaj, 2008). Some

experiments were conducted in Brazil to protect fruits while it's still on the tree, in an attempt to

prevent skin freckles. Fruits were bagged in a sheet of aluminized polyethylene; thirty days before

the harvest, reducing the incidence of freckles on the fruit that were bagged when compared to

the unbagged fruits.

The papaya's sensory characteristics (principally taste and aroma) involve, in almost all

cases, volatile compounds (benzylisothiocyanate, terpenes, hydrocarbons, esters, aldehydes,

ketones, alcohols, and organic acids) (Almora et al., 2004). An analysis of seven clinical trials, in the

journal of Medicine Food in 2016, concluded that sesame seeds reduce markers of oxidative stress among

people with hypertension diabetes, and high cholesterol. In particular, sesame seeds raise blood levels of

antioxidants (including vitamin E) and enzymes (like glutathione peroxidase) that protect against oxidative
damage associated with some chronic diseases. However, cheese is an Excellent source of protein it’s

responsible for the formation, regulation, repair, and protection of the body, protein is giving you a strong

immune system, healthy hair, and proper fluid balance in your body. And it acts a brain enhancer to every

students.

Furthermore, the researcher conduct the study for the sake of the students health. hence, the solution

for it was to inform every students how important to eat healthy foods. Based on the news, some students

experiencing laziness that’s because of lack of protein/vitamins sustain by the body; its one of the major

cause why students tend to be un-active inside the school, that’s why the researcher come up in this kind

of study to help the student to be productive everyday.

The general objective of the study is to innovate baked papaya with melted cheese and sesame

seeds that will help students to be physically healthy. However, the main purpose of this was to motivate

the students to eat healthy foods that will sustain the body to have strong immune system. Mariveles

National Senior High School – Sitio Mabuhay is the appropriate place in innovating baked papaya with

melted cheese & sesame seeds because this is this is the location where the researchers study.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Product description

Carica papaya L., is one of the major fruit crops cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical zones. Never
judge the quality of a papaya by its appearance. Often, in fact, the dark orange/brownish fruits taste
heavenly, while the smooth shiny variety often turns out to be disappointing with a tough flesh and insipid
flavor. On the other hand, avoid any fruits that are too ripe with a wrinkly skin and whitish spots. Generally
speaking, the skin should confer a “warm” velvety sensation when touched, soft without being flaccid.
The baked papaya with melted cheese and sesame seeds was subjected to sensory evaluation it was
judged for color, appearance , aroma and mouthfeel and overall capability (Gupta 1999). That’s why,
Appearance aroma and color is what a product must have to be more authentic in the eye of a person.
Appearance has been defined to depicts the sensory qualities of food in the form of a sensory circle. The
sense of sight, smell & taste ( Kramer 1973 ).However, the specific requirements, or storage conditions
for exporting to market. The fruit color must Greenish yellow skin color. Hermaphrodite fruit must be pear
shaped and female fruit uniformly round, all fruits must be fresh, free of shriveling, discoloration and
exhibiting non-uniform ripening. The second one is External appearance must have the Absence of latex
stains or surface debris , absence of wounds during harvesting postharvest handling procedures, absence
of insect bites, scars or spray damage, Fruit skin color should not exceed greenish yellow ( Krishi 2007).

The history of papaya appears to be first documented by Oviedo, the Director of mines in
Hispaniola (Antilles) from 1513 to 1525, where he describes how Alphonso de Valverde took papaya seeds
from the coasts of Panama to Darien, then to San Domingo and the other islands of the West Indies. The
Spaniards gave it the name ‘papaya’ and took the plant to the Philippines, from where it expanded to
Malaya and finally India in 1598 ( Schery 1952 ).
 Health benefits

Recent studies have shown its beneficial effects as an anti-inflammatory agent (Owoyele et al 2008)
and anti-tumour15 as well as antioxidant and wound healing properties7. The study has shown that the
effect of caricapapaya leaves juice intake also can accelerate the rate of increase in platelet count among
the patients infected with dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever18. However, it’s quite obvious
how it helps a person to recover & or healed and fight against any illnesses it act’s as a food supplement
for the body to receive full recovery and also gain energy that will lead their life to the fullest. Papaya
contain healthy antioxidants known as carotenoids particularly one type called lycopene and also it is
high in Vitamins C and A, as well as fiber and healthy plant compounds that will help the students to regain
energy for the entire day in school. It also contains an enzyme called papain, used to tenderize meat. Early
Research suggests that the lycopene in papaya can reduce cancer risk papaya may work by reducing free
radicals that contribute to cancer. Additionally papaya may have some unique effects not shared by other
fruits. Among 14 fruits and vegetables with known antioxidant properties, only papaya demonstrated
anticancer activity in breast cancer cells ( Spritzler 2018 ). Study show that fruits high in lycopene and
vitamin C may help prevent heart disease. The antioxidants in papaya may protect your heart and enhance
the protective effects of “good” HDL cholesterol, In one study people who took a fermented papaya
supplement for 14 weeks had less inflammation and a better ratio of “bad” LDL to “good” HDL than people
given a placebo. Papaya’s high Vitamin C and lycopene content can improve heart health and may reduce
your risk of heart disease (Spritzler 2018 ). However, Colored fruits and vegetables and food containing
Vitamin C and E are rich in anti-oxidants like good amounts of papaya for people who are suffering from
poor memory a papaya must include in your everyday diet (Ryan Mutt 2018).

On the other hand, papaya is a must eat food especially to the students that will help them enhance
their brain mentally active. Additionally, papaya has a lot of nutritional benefits for fighting against any
illnesses and diseases so you should include this product in your everyday meal.

Students productivity
 “The brain’s ability to focus is based on several things, including blood sugar balance, food
sensitivities, and the function of the gastrointestinal tract”. says Daphne Olivier, blood sugar
balance occurs when you have appropriate balance of carbohydrates ( healthy carbs preffered)
like protein and healthy fats like papaya that is rich in source of vitamins and minerals. . Students
nowadays, are hard to focus on their study and hard to think critically that’s because of lack of
proteins and omega fatty acids sustain by the body. Eating a high-carb breakfast, which includes
cheese may help you make good decisions throughout the day (Berlin 2017). On the other hand,
Eating foods with cheese can help a person to think critically also it will help the students to make
wise decisions everyday and they will also be productive as their body receiving good nutrition.
Foods that is rich in Vitamins will save the students against laziness hence, proper receiving of
vitamins from food can help the student to be focused inside and outside the school. However,
The wonder fruit that is rich in several nutrients like Vitamin C which can keep you free from8
stress. According to a study conducted in University of Alabama, found that 200 mg of vitamin C
can help regulate the flow of stress hormones in rats ( Sameer Jha 2015 ). Basically, papaya it’s
not just a normal fruit but rather it has a lot of sufficient nutrients that our body needed to receive
balance nutrients.
