II. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Why did you choose this topic?

“We chose this topic because we wanted to develop a unique dessert by combining familiar food products in an unconventional way. Since we are Home Economics students, we are also exposed to food preparation and culinary activities. We wanted to know if chocolate pasta sauce would be acceptable to students as a dessert.” 12_DEMETER-BRAVO-TITLE-PROPOSALS (2).docx

What makes your product innovative?

“It is innovative because pasta is commonly associated with savory dishes, while our study explores pasta with a sweet chocolate-based sauce as a dessert.” 12_DEMETER-BRAVO-TITLE-PROPOSALS (2).docx

What problem or gap does your study address?

“There is limited information about the acceptability of chocolate pasta sauce as a dessert product in our local school setting. Our study aims to determine whether students will accept the product and identify areas that may be improved.” 12_DEMETER-BRAVO-TITLE-PROPOSALS (2).docx
