Introduction : Coffee is a beverage prepared from dried ground beans of Coffea arabica. The berries are rich in caffeine, which stimulates the CNS that results in mild addictive symptoms.  

The researchers plan to use jackfruit seeds as a potential main ingredient in manufacturing coffee.

Statement of the Problem: Jackfruit is a common fruit widely known and found in the Philippines. This study will determine the feasibility of coffee made from Jackfruit seeds.

Hypotheses: There is no significant difference between the characteristics of the coffee samples from jackfruit seed and commercial coffee with sugar. There is no significant difference between the acceptability of the coffee samples from jackfruit seed and commercial coffee with sugar.

Significance of the Study: There were many researchers who succeeded in previous studies in utilizing different seeds in making coffee. Produce coffee from jackfruit seeds since coffee is a part of almost everybody's life. Beneficial for people who have night shift jobs; students who are studying and making projects at night.

The companies that uses jackfruit to manufacture products will gain more profit since they can use the seeds to make other products. The country’s disposal problems will decrease for the seeds will be used into new products.

Scope and Limitations: The study is limited to producing coffee and from jackfruit seeds only. Color, Texture, Taste, Body and Aroma will be the only characteristics to be evaluated.

Experimental Set-up: Components Sample A Sample B Sample C Jackfruit Coffee (boiled and roasted) 3 teaspoons None (roasted only) Commercial Coffee Sugar 1 teaspoon Hot water 1 cup

Procedures: Gathering of jackfruit seeds. Drying of jackfruit seeds under the heat of the sun. Roasting of the dried jackfruit seeds. Grinding of the roasted jackfruit seeds. Serve the coffee with hot water. Evaluation of the characteristics of the coffee.

Statistical Tool: The data that were gathered were analyzed and interpreted to get the overall rating of the product. The weighted mean were employed to find the characteristics and acceptability of different samples of coffee from Jackfruit seeds. Kruskal-Wallis H Test was used in order to know if there is a significant difference among samples.

Data Gathering: Rating Color Texture Aroma Taste Acidity Body Description 5 Brilliant Coffee like Pleasant Very Savory Very High Very Thick Excellent 4 Slightly Brilliant Slightly Coffee Like Slightly Pleasant Slightly Savory Slightly High Slightly Thick Very Good 3 Average Good 2 Slightly not Brilliant Slightly not Coffee Like Slightly not Pleasant Slightly not Savory Slightly not Thick Fair 1 Not Brilliant Not Coffee Like Not Pleasant Not Savory Not Thick Poor
