Introduction

Cleanliness is the most important part to have a good image in a business.to have an

advantage, be sure to be clean and safe. Knowledge, skills and abilities must focus on food

safety practices that will protect the public from food borne illness. Good sanitation

minimizes production cost, improves employee morale and efficiency and important from

other aesthetic consideration. Cleanliness means to be free from hazards on food and

everything to be safe.

Quezon province is a land known and popularized for abundant coconut trees.

Lambanog is a product from coconut; it is an alcoholic drink or beverage which can be found

in different places or municipalities in Quezon province because of its purity and natural

made-up. However, this product is best in some parts of Quezon Province especially in Wakas

Tayabas City. People always visit Tayabas, Quezon to buy Lambanog. People always include

Lambanog in their various occasions and events as beverage. Like wine, this drink can be

flavour in different types like grapes or mostly raisins.

This is carried out for the purpose of verifying that Lambanog is not just a best alcoholic drink

for occasion but also insures that it is safe and clean for human consumptions.
Background of the Study

Lambanog is the essential rural celebratory drink, laced with protocol and ritual. It is

an unusual town or barangay festivity that will not find it in the feasting table. In some parts

of Quezon, women keep pace with men, jigger-for-jigger (tagay-for-tagay).The first jigger is

often toasted to someone's memory and doused on the ground before being passed around the

circle of drinkers. The jiggerful is usually taken in a single swig, the glass turned to the

ground or over the shoulders to empty it of the last residual drops before passing it on. The

swig is followed by a nibble of the pulutan (side dish) from a centered plate using a single

shared spoon or fork, quite the unhealthy rural custom. As is common in the macho ways of

rural drinking, the jigger goes round-and-round-and-round, as the decibel of simultaneous

story-telling increases and not unusually, until only one man remains, or a waiting wife,

akimbo, stares the evil eye, or the last gallon-jug has emptied.

Primarily produced in the Southern Tagalog region, particularly the Quezon area,

lambanog has been called the "coconut nectar," 100% natural, 80-95 proof spirits that

originates from the sap of the unopened flower of the coconut. It has slowly flowed into

alcohol's tributaries of tastes, meriting comparisons with the other spirits of international

renown, earning attributions like "Philippine tequila," "coconut vodka," "coconut wine," and

"Philippine grappa," and starting to appear in high-end bar menus of martinis and mixed

drinks, laced with guava juice or passion fruit.

Rural consumption of lambanog has suffered recurrent periods of disfavor from local

grapevine news of illnesses caused by the drinking of "bad batches." Some producers sadly

confess that much of what they produce, once purchased for local commerce, suffers dilution

and adulteration with chemicals and a miscellany of extenders. Much of the roadside
purchases, in half-gallon or gallon recycled plastic or bottle jugs is second-rate, washed down,

extended and chemically adulterated toddy of such inferior quality easily discerned even by

non-lamba-connoisseurs.

Statement of the Problem

This study concerned and aimed to determine the importance of food safety, hygiene

and sanitation in making lambanog as perceived by authorized personnel of Capistrano

Lambanog Distillery, Tayabas, Quezon.

Specifically, the answers of the following were sought.

1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of

1.1 Gender;

1.2 Age;

1.3 Status

1.4 Position

2. What are the proper hygiene which is considered in making Lambanog?

3. What are the proper sanitation of utensils and paraphernalia’s used in making Lambanog?
Definition of Terms

Cirrhosis – a chronic disease of the liver marked by degeneration of cells, inflammation, and

fibrous thickening of tissue. It is typically a result of alcoholism or hepatitis.

Cleanliness- the must requires in doing something or processing.

Contamination- the effect by which the product is in improper disposal

Distillery – a place where liquor is manufactured.

Food safety- the process that product will free from any hazard either biological, chemical,
and physical.

Hygiene- a process to prevent health disease from the product.

Lambanog-the product of the research that comes from fermented sap of the coconut tree.

Sanitation- the treatment and proper disposal of savage from the product.

Sap- the ingredients of lambanog, the nectar from unopened coconut flower.

Statutory- contains a permits required on the product.

Tuba- another term of lambanog, without colorants pure sap.

Health Benefits:

1. Improves Eyesight

 Palm wine helps in maintaining good eye health. It contains antioxidant, Vitamin C which

is also found in other fruits and vegetables. Vitamin B1 also helps in improving our

vision.

 Research shows the drinking moderate amount of palm wine has been associated with

reducing the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure. This study

was conducted by Lingberg and Ezra in 2008. Palm wine contains potassium which has

been proven by research to improve heart health and bring down hypertension. However,

too much intake has adverse effects like destroying liver.

2. Help fight Against Cancer

 It contains Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, which is an antioxidant which helps in

the fight against free radicals.

3. Helps in Maintaining Healthy Hair, Skin and Nails

 The iron and vitamin B complex found in the palm wine are needed for a healthy skin and

nails. Iron is very important for the development, growth and functioning of some cells in

our body. This property of palm wine makes it helpful in promoting would heal by

repairing our tissues and promoting the growth of healthy cells.

4. Promotes Lactation
 It is being used by many natural healers in some other parts of Africa to help to lactate

mothers when she has limited breast milk production. Research is needed to investigate the

property of palm wine that makes it stimulate the production of breast milk.
Related Studies

The coconut vodka, popularly known as ‘lambanog’ and primarily produce in Quezon

Province, the lambanog capital of the Philippines, is on the threshold as a dollar-earning

industry. It is considered for product development being one of the primary produce of the

country. This 100% natural, 80 to 95 proof spirit, 40% to 45% alcohol content, originates

from the sap of the coconut flower. Through fermentation and distillation, coconut sap is

processed into lambanog.

Drinking for a long time is more likely to damage a woman's health than a man's

health. Research suggests that as little as one drink per day can slightly raise the risk of breast

cancers in some women, especially those who have been through menopause or have a family

history of cancer. But it is not possible to predict how alcohol will affect the risk for cancer in

any one woman

Many people enjoy a drink without any problems, but binge drinking or drinking

heavily over longer periods of time can have very serious consequences. Alcohol misuse not

only harms the individual, but damages relationships and society in general in terms of

violence and crime, accidents and drink driving.

In Northern Ireland, the number of alcohol-related deaths has more than doubled since

1994. The most recent figures show: there were 270 deaths recorded as alcohol-related in

2012. There were more than 11,500 alcohol-related admissions to hospitals in 2009/10.

THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK AND RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter present relevant theories and concepts regarding The Importance of Food

Safety, Hygiene and Sanitation in Making Lambanog as Perceived by Authorized Personnel

of Capistrano Lambanog Distillery in Tayabas Quezon and also include the research designs,

method, variable and measures, and research instrument to determine the relevant finding and

data for the study.

Theoretical Framework

Alcoholism can be defined by a compulsion to seek and take drug, loss of control in

limiting intake, and the emergence of a negative emotional state when access to the drug is

prevented. Alcoholism impacts multiple motivational mechanisms and can be conceptualized

as a disorder that includes a progression from impulsivity (positive reinforcement) to

compulsivity (negative reinforcement). The compulsive drug seeking associated with

alcoholism can be derived from multiple neuroadaptations, but the thesis argued here is that a

key component involves the construct of negative reinforcement. Negative reinforcement is

defined as drug taking that alleviates a negative emotional state. The negative emotional state

that drives such negative reinforcement is hypothesized to derive from dysregulation of

specific neurochemical elements involved in reward and stress within the basal forebrain

structures involving the ventral striatum and extended amygdala, respectively. Specific

neurochemical elements in these structures include not only decreases in reward

neurotransmission, such as decreased dopamine and γ-amino butyric acid function in the

ventral striatum, but also recruitment of brain stress systems, such as corticotropin-releasing

factor (CRF), in the extended amygdala. Acute withdrawal from chronic alcohol, sufficient to
