 CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

Guyabano (Annona muricata) is a small deciduous tropical evergreen fruit tree that is

widely cultivated throughout the world’s tropical climates. The aerial component have many

roles in maintaining human health. The fruits have been extensively used as food confection,

and local communities in tropical Africa and south America have used various preparation,

particularly decoction of the bark, fruits, leaves, pericarps, seeds, and roots, to treat a variety of

ailments, including, cancer. (Rajasekar & Suganthi, 2019).

The popular tropical tree Guyabano or Gayobana, also known as Soursop is known for its

sweet- sour fruit. It is indigenous to the tropical region of the American and the Caribbean. Our

Spanish conquistador may have brought in to the Philippines, where the word guyabano

(desived form the Spanish guyabana) originated (Damogo, 2021).

 Annona muricata L. is a fruit tree that is widely prize nowadays due to its superior

nutritional content and myriad uses also known as guyabano. The species is the only one that

can be kept and processed. For the beneficial fruits, guyabano is typically planted as a

commercial crop. It is an alien species in the Philippines, but because of its numerous health

advantage, it is widely farmed throughout the entire nation. Research has shown that the fruit

extracts can stop the development of human breast cancer cells, which has increased demand

for guyabano in recent years (Briz, 2014)

Guyabano is commonly consumed in the Philippines, either ripe or fresh, or used to make

juice, smoothies, and ice cream. Additionally, the fruit is occasionally used in baked products

and other delicacies, such as guyabano cakes and tortas. In addition to the bark and leaves

being well known for usage in herbal teas and other therapeutic preparation, the leaves are

occasionally used to tenderize meat (Desk, 2023). (Annona muricata) leaves are used in

Cagayan, Cavite, Mindoro Island, and Zamboanga Del Sur for its anti-fever effects (Stuart,

2019).

Traditional pharmacies have used guyabano to treat a variety of illnesses and ailment

since it has several medicinal uses. It has a rich nutritional profile and offers a number of health

advantage. Vitamin C, an antioxidant known to strengthen the immune system, is abundant in

guyabano. Your immune system is strengthened by this vitamin, which enhances its capacity to

fight against viruses. Additionally, it encourages the breakdown of free radicals, which can

shield your skin and cell from oxidative harm form the environment. The recommended daily

amount of vitamin C is 215% of what is found in one full guyabano fruit. Numerous more

antioxidant, such as phytosterols, tannis, and flavonoids, are also present in this plant’s fruits
and leaves (National Nutrition Council, 2022). The fruit and juice are used to treat worms and

parasites, as well as to reduce fever and increase breast milk production after childbirth (Stuart,

2019).

Since the beginning of medicine, natural product-especially those made from plant have

been utilized to support human health. Plant phytochemicals have been a major source of new

pharmaceutical discoveries during the last century. The biological activities of these compounds

have attracted great scientific interest because of the utility of plant active component in

agriculture and medicine (Moghadamtousi, 2013).

Utilizing local plants is one of the most significant and frequently and used parts of

Philippine traditional medicine. Due to their integration with local culture and beliefs, these have

grown to be a crucial aspect of providing the Filipino people with safe, efficient, and affordable

healthcare. The traditional wisdom of the Filipino people should be protected as it is an

important resource. Only a few civilizations still practice traditional and botanical knowledge as a

result of technical improvement in the modern world, which have caused a steady decline in

traditional knowledge. This knowledge has been jeopardized in the Philippines as a result of

modernisation and Westernization (Tantengco et al., 2018).

Additionally, before the country’s numerous medical and medication development Filipino

relied on and trusted natural remedies including plants, mineral, and animals for their

therapeutic benefits (Baddu el al., 20018). It is clear that plant are the best sources of natural

antipyretics because ethnic people in Luzon have using them as treatment to treat illnesses like

fever (Afiffudden et al., 2015).

 For our study we want to test the effectiveness of guyaleaf .The aims of this study is is to

make a powdered drink out of guyabano leaf to test its shell-life, packaging, taste and General

Appearance by the help of the school science teache.

Conceptual Framework

The conceptual framework shows the independent variable, dependent variable, and the

extraneous variable of the study. The independent is the cause which includes the treatment of

coconut peat. The dependent variable is the effect, it is also the outcome variable whereas the

extraneous variable is taken into consideration as it could also influence the outcome based on

the result of the. Through the statistical analysis presented in the study, a direct relationship

between these variable is established.

Research Question

This study aims to answer the fallowing question

1 .Is Guyabano (Annona muricata) leaves effective as the base in making a powdered

drink?

2. What is the cost analysis?

3. What is the level of Guyabano (Annona muricata) and sugar-based powdered drink in

terms of?

A. Shell-life
B. Packaging
C. Taste
D. General Appearance

Significance of the study

The researcher hope that the result of this in formulating powdered drink using

Guyabano (Annona muricata) in V. Sagun zamboanga del Sur, Philippines could be of important

to the following:
 The Local Agriculture Community will greatly benefits from this study, as this will inform

them of a stand-in organic drink that is simple to prepare and has antioxidant properties that can

significant be of help to the consumer

The findings of the study will serve as reference material and a guide for future

researcher who wish to conduct the same experimental study will be serving as a guide to other

researcher who would like to pursue the same study for the further development and

improvement of the study.

The outcome of this study could give significant information about Annona Muicata as

well as the benefits we can get from using Guyabano based –powdered drink which result in

health benefits, useful in kitchen and it is also eco-friedly and cost-effective.

Scope and Delimitation of the study

This study only focused on using leaves as (Guyabano based-powdered drink).

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter present the review of related literature and studies that have significant

bearing to current study. Those that were included in this chapter helps understanding and

familiarizing that are relevant to the present study.

 CHAPTER III

Research Design

This study employed an experimental research design. The purpose of the experimental

research design is to enable to establish a cause and effect relationship. Experimental research

design is a procedure carried out to support, refute or validate. Experimental provide insight into

cause and effect by demonstrating what outcome occurred when particular is manipulated.

Research Environment

This study we conducted in Kabataan National High School. A public school located in

the municipality of Vincenzo Sagun, Zambonga del Sur
