ABSTRACT

Title: PRODUCTION AND ACCEPTABILITY OF HOMEMADE BEER


Researcher: MARLENE S. ARCIAGA


Degree: Master of Arts in Education
Major: Technology and Livelihood Education

Institution: Tarlac State University


The study aimed to produce homemade beer with the use of tropical fruits as its
composition using different processes like microbiological analysis, physico-chemical
test and evaluation of its sensory attributes to achieve its good characteristics. It is
projected that the data generated from this study will provide information for the
enhancement of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) Curriculum especially in
Food Processing, Food Research, related food subjects and Small and Medium
enterprises.
The characteristics of the homemade beer in terms of its sensory attributes,
sensory evaluations and the consumers perception were determined using the mean
scores obtained from the sensory evaluation made by 90 non-drinkers, occasional and
daily drinkers.
Sensory evaluation and physico-chemical test is an essential method to determine
the attributes of the homemade beer. Fermentation of tropical fruits into homemade beer,
as a learning area in Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) will equip the students
with the skills that will help them produce homemade beer.
