This chapter outlines the methodology used in the study, including:
1. The materials and ingredients used to make rootcrop flans with cassava, sweet potato, and gabi as treatments.
2. An experimental design using a single-factor completely randomized design with 3 replications to compare the 3 treatments.
3. Data was collected through scorecards rated on a hedonic scale to evaluate taste, odor, texture, and appearance. Statistical analysis included ANOVA and F-tests.

The study used the single-factor experiment in Completely
Randomized Design (CDR) with 3 replications. The analysis of variance ( ANOVA) was the statistical tools used to analyze the data at 5% and 1% level of significance.
Experimental Treatments
The study conducted using three(3) replicates: Replicate A
(cassava ), Replicate B (sweet potato) , Replicate C (gabi) as the control variable. The proportion of the ingredients used was the same. Table 1. Distribution of ingredients per treatment.

Procedure in Making Rootcrops Flan
The following were the steps used making rootcrops flan.
1.Wash and peel the cassava, sweet potato, gabi thoroughly,
then peel the cassava . Put it all in the casserole and cook until the rootcrops is ready to mash .
2. In a saucepan, mix the sugar & water. Bring to a boil for a
few minutes until the sugar caramelize. 3. Pour the caramelized sugar into aluminum moulds - you can use any shape: oval, round or square. Spread the caramel on the bottom of the moulds. 4. Mix well the evaporated milk, condensed milk, egg yolks, mashed rootcrop ( cassava, gabi or sweet potato) and vanilla by whisk. Then strain the mixture so that the leche flan will become fine. 5 .Gently pour the mixture on top of the caramel on the aluminum moulds. Fill the moulds to about 1 to 1 1/4 inch thick. 6. Cover moulds individually with aluminum foil. 7. Steam for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the leche flan is cooked. 8. To serve: run a thin knife around the edges of the mould to loosen the Leche Flan. Place a platter on top of the mould and quickly turn upside down to position the golden brown caramel on top.
Data Collection
Data were gathered using scorecards. The panelists rated
the score card using Hedonic Scale to evaluated the acceptability in terms of odor, taste, texture and general appearance.
Scoring of Variables
The criteria used to evaluated qualify of the product were
on taste, odor, texture and general appearance. Based on the 9- point Hedonic Scale where 5.45-6.38 (like slightly), 6.34-7.22 (liked moderately), 7.23-8.11 9 ( like very much ) 8.12-9.0 (like extremely) acceptable ( calmorin, 2006).
The scores for each item was interpreted based on the
results of the computation as to odor, taste, texture and general appearance.
