METHODOLOGY
This chapter present the methods and procedures that will be used to evaluate the quality and
acceptability of mango spread. The research design, research respondents, research instruments,
procedure, data gathering and analysis of data are also to be discussed in this chapter.
Research Design
The Quasi- experimental method of research was utilized in this study to find out the acceptability
of mango spread. The experiment was replicate three(3) times.
Research Locale
The study will be conducted at Naval State University- Biliran Campus which is located at Brgy. San
Isidro Biliran, Biliran which offers Agriculture and Fishery courses (Upper Campus) and Bachelor of
Secondary and Elementary Education (Lower Campus). This institution is formerly known as Biliran
National Agricultural College and now integrated to Naval State University.
Research Instrument
A score was used in collecting the data. It was devided into five (5) columns. The first column was
the different aspect of quality/ acceptability. The remaining four (4) columns were for the corresponding
score. The tasters checked the column for corresponding score.
Data Gathered
The data was gathered through the panel of tasters of ten(10) members coming from the faculty,
employees and students of NSU- Biliran Campus. Quota sampling was used in the selection f the
members of the panel of tasters.

Analysis of Data
In order to give answers to the specific questions in this study all data gathered was analyzed
tallied and interpreted using the weighted mean.
Formula in finding mean:
x= x/N
Where :
x = mean
x = sum of all scores
N = the total number of tasters

Data Scoring
The quality/acceptability of the finished product was evaluated using the following score:
1. extremely bad/ dislike extremely
2. very bad/ dislike moderately
3. moderately bad/ dislike moderately
4. slightly bad/ dislike slightly
5. neither good nor bad/ neither like nor dislike
6. slightly good/ like moderately
7. moderately good/ like moderately
8. very good/ like very much
9. excellent/ like extremely

To determine the quality/ acceptability of the product the following ranges of mean values and
quantitative description were used:

Mean Value

Qualitative Description

1.0 1.8

extremely bad/ dislike extremely

1.9 2.7

very bad/ dislike moderately

2.8 3.6

moderately bad/ dislike moderately

3.7 4.5

slightly bad/ dislike slightly

4.6 5.4

neither good nor bad/ neither like nor dislike

5.5 6.3
