    1) The study aims to formulate a santan flower extract beverage and determine its acceptability compared to other drinks. Santan flowers are commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine and traditional medicine. 2) Four beverage formulations will be tested - santan flower only, with stevia, with calamansi, and with both. Twenty volunteers will evaluate the drinks based on taste, sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and aroma. 3) Preliminary results found the santan flower drink to have health benefits but lower taste scores compared to orange juice. The formulation with both calamansi and stevia received the highest ratings for sweetness and taste.

    Introduction

    Background of the Study


    A beverage is any type of drink. It's something you might offer a guest in your house; it's also the
    favorite moniker of companies that manufacture both soda and juice — they’re known as
    beverage companies.
    The concept of using fresh edible flowers in cooking is not new. Today, many restaurants
    use different flowers in their ingredients for an exotic taste and for a touch of elegance. Some
    flowers are used for dessert.(Lyla 2019) There are many foods or product that can be used as
    beverage or flavoring example: Lavender,jasmine,Rose,etc.but can santan flower extract be used
    as a beverage or flavoring? Santan flower is a type of flower that contains a liquid that can be
    used as a flavoring it is commonly found growing in natural places, apart from having medicinal
    qualities, santan flowers are edible. Foragers regularly talk of plucking the flowers in the wild
    and sucking on the sweet nectar. The petals also make great snacks when tossed into batter and
    mixed thoroughly.  you can choose to grow santans for their beautiful flowers, for medicinal
    reasons or culinary purposes. Whatever the reason that drives you to grow these beautiful
    flowers, your efforts will be richly rewarded when they come into bloom. 
     Ixora coccinea is a species of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae. It is a common flowering
    shrub native to Southern India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. It has become one of the most
    popular flowering shrubs in South Florida gardens and landscapes. It is the national flower of
    Suriname. 

    Calamansi (Citrus × microcarpa), also known as kalamansi, calamondin, Philippine


    lime, or Philippine lemon, is an economically important citrus hybrid predominantly cultivated in
    the Philippines. It is native to the Philippines; parts of Indonesia, Malaysia,
    and Brunei (Borneo, Sumatra, and Sulawesi); as well as parts of southern China and Taiwan.
    Calamansi is ubiquitous in traditional Philippine Cuisine. It is naturally very sour, and is used in
    various condiments, beverages, dishes, marinades, and preserves. Calamansi is also used as an
    ingredient in Malaysian and Indonesian cuisines. 

    Stevia is a sugar substitute made from the leaves of the stevia plant. It's about 100 to 300 times
    sweeter than table sugar, but it has no carbohydrates, calories, or artificial ingredients. Not
    everyone likes the way it tastes. Some people find it bitter, but others think stevia tastes like
    menthol. 

    Question or Problem:
    General Statement of the Problem:
    The goal of this study is to formulate a beverage using Santan flower extract. 
    Sub-questions:
    A. What is the acceptability level of santan flower beverage in terms of: 
    a. Taste 
    b. Sweetness 
    c. Aroma 
    d. After Taste 

    B. What is the santan flower extraction formulation is the most acceptable. 


    A. Stevia plant -50% 
    B. Calamansi – 25% 
    C. Santan flower – 25% 

    Hypothesis/Engineering Goals:
    Null: Santan flower extract is not an alternative ingredient for beverage
    Alternative: Santan flower extract is an alternative ingredient for beverage

    Review Related Literature


    The santan flower, also known as the Ixora coccinea, is a popular ornamental plant in tropical
    countries such as the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Its flowers come in various colors,
    including red, orange, yellow, and pink. While it is commonly used as a decoration, the santan
    flower has also been traditionally used for medicinal and culinary purposes.
    In some parts of Southeast Asia, santan flower tea is a popular beverage. The flowers are boiled
    in water to make a fragrant tea that is believed to have various health benefits. According to
    traditional medicine, the tea is said to have anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-cancer
    properties.
    A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that the Ixora
    coccinea flowers contain high levels of flavonoids, which have been associated with a range of
    health benefits, including reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and
    neurodegenerative disorders. The study also found that the flowers have antioxidant properties
    that may help protect the body against free radical damage.
    In addition, the santan flower has been used in traditional medicine to alleviate various health
    conditions such as fever, cough, and headache. Its tea is also believed to have calming effects
    and is sometimes used as a remedy for insomnia.
    While there is limited scientific research on the use of santan flower as a beverage, the traditional
    use of the flower suggests that it may have potential health benefits. However, more research is
    needed to fully understand the properties and potential benefits of santan flower tea. It is also
    important to note that some people may be allergic to the flower, so caution should be taken
    when consuming it.
