vegetable dish that is composed of a variety of veggies with soup, and malunggay soup.
It is intriguingly one of the healthiest parts of the favorite Filipino soup dishes. Only few

available in the locality and to produce a waste-free product. The goal is to use whole

piece of ripe lakatan banana with its peel to encourage the recovery of food waste for
functional food preparation. Additionally, the banana peel can give additional nutrients to
its consumer and to use the garden-fresh Moringa oleifera leaf “malunggay leaf” to keep
most vitamins, minerals and its other nutritional composition. This study also aims to
teach the Grade 11 Bread and Pastry learners to use the ingredients which are easily
found in their locality and to teach them the concept of baking with innovation through
The mentioned toil above can be seen in an actual laboratory of the Grade 11
Bread and Pastry learners of Kansi National High School. Majority of the Senior High
School learners in our school were forced to enroll in the Technical-Vocational under
Home Economics ,just to graduate SHS, which among the three specialization offered is
Bread and Pastry Production and most of their perception, baking is expensive and they
are even agitated to do the production during the laboratory day since 95% of the Grade
11 haven’t tried baking ever since and majority of the learners cannot afford to
contribute much for the expenses of purchasing the needed ingredients. Moreover, the
sugars and adding vegetable is only for cooking vegetable dishes. As an extra fact,
Kansi National High School is located in a mountainous far flung area, 17 kilometers
away from the town, according to the recent Learner’s Basic Health and Nutrition Report
(School Form 8) conducted by the Grade 11 adviser, 7.40% are severely wasted and
37.04% are wasted. In this result, majority of the learners need the most nutrients
needed in their teenage. The learners should equipped with proper nutrition may it be
with their viand and/or snacks to boost and gain on the desired nutrition their teen age

must acquire. May it be happening in the long run, eating pastries should be tasteful not
only aesthetically but above all healthy, packed with nutrition. Because of this existing
occurrence, the researcher conducted a study on how to develop a product that could
help address the health needs of the Grade 11 Bread and Pastry Production learners of
Kansi National High School through developing a pastry loaded with nutrients which

is anchored in two legal basis, namely; The Triage Theory and Malthusian Theory

cognitive decline, and immune dysfunction. Most of the world’s population, even in
developed countries, has inadequate intake of one or more micronutrients (~40 essential
vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids) that a varied and balanced diet should
provide. This triage theory (PNAS 103, 17589, 2006; AJCN 90, 889, 2009) posits that,
single micronutrient, though insufficient to cause overt clinical symptoms, will impair
functions essential for long-term health. This impairment will result in insidious damage
(e.g.: increased DNA damage) that, over time, leads to the acceleration of age-
associated diseases (e.g.: increased cancer). As people with modest deficiencies have
no overt clinical symptoms, there has been little incentive to correct these deficiencies,
though this could change if it can be shown that they are resulting in biochemical
changes (e.g.: chromosome breaks that are markers of increased risk of age-related
accelerated aging and age-related diseases. The Triage Theory explains why diseases
associated with aging (and the pace of aging itself) may be unintended consequences of
cancers and other diseases of aging to develop?” and reasoned that these mechanisms

are focused on preserving vitamin/mineral-dependent functions required for animals and
humans to survive for reproduction at the expense of other functions required to sustain
metabolic damage (DNA damage, mitochondrial decay, and other pathologies) in less-
critical functions that, over time, accelerate aging and may lead to diseases of aging
As people with modest deficiencies have no overt clinical symptoms, there has
been little incentive to correct these deficiencies, though this could change as the
evidence accumulates to show that there are resulting biochemical changes (e.g.:
chromosome breaks that are markers of increased risk of age-related diseases, such as

Three major assumptions provided the basis to Malthus' theory of population (as
man and woman is necessary and will continue nearly in its present state; and the
power of population is indefinitely greater than the earth's power to produce subsistence
for humans. With this as his base, Malthus proposed the thesis that strong and constant
forces need to hold the superior power of population over subsistence in check. The
forces include both positive checks, e.g., infant mortality, and preventive checks, e.g.,
foregoing early marriage. Malthus evidently had a theory of long swings in mind because
offers a new interpretation of Malthus' theory of long swings, concluding that "the
6
Malthusian theory of oscillations' as sketched in the 'Essay on Population' may justly be
represented by a zig-zag path of real wages." 2 questions arise: does the text literally
mean what Waterman suggests; and is the text consistent with Malthus' general
position. The quotation offered by Wasserman focuses on a special case that illustrates
how oscillations might take place but fails to represent Malthus' general position. In any
society the population's response to wages determines the "level" of subsistence. Due to
the different living habits in each state, the subsistence level varies from state to state,
and Malthus devotes much of the 1st "Essay" to discussing what determines the living
habits and the subsistence level in different countries. In Malthus' theory of long swings,
real wages do not follow a "zig-zag" path. This is due to the fact that neither the
the rate of profit is sufficiently attractive, capital accumulates, and the response of
positive and preventive checks. Generally, the path of wages over time is dependent on

Moringa tree can be utilized in treating the malnutrition in a local and cost-effective
manner. Malnutrition causes a great deal of human suffering and is associated with
more than half of all deaths of children worldwide. Malnutrition severely affects the
mentally and physically may have a reduced work capacity. Thus nutrition plays an
important role in the reproduction of poverty from one generation to the next.
The socioeconomic status has been changed a lot, so people are now more
concerned about their life style and health. They have knowledge about the detrimental
effects of synthetic products. That is why they are interested in natural products.
Utilization of natural products of plant origin having fewer side effects has gained
popularity over the years. There is immense scope for natural products that can intimate
health benefits beyond traditional nutrients. Moringa oleifera is one such tree having
tremendous nutritional and medicinal benefits. It is rich in macro- and micronutrients and
17
other bioactive compounds which are important for normal functioning of the body and
prevention of certain diseases. Leaves, flowers, seeds, and almost all parts of this tree
are edible and have immense therapeutic properties including antidiabetic, anticancer,
antiulcer, antimicrobial, and antioxidant. Most of the recent studies suggested that
Moringa should be used as a functional ingredient in food. The aim of this review is to
focus the use of Moringa oleifera as a potential ingredient in food products (as cited by

plant with numerous health benefits including nutritional and medicinal advantages.
Moringa oleifera contains essential amino acids, carotenoids in leaves, and components
with nutraceutical properties, supporting the idea of using this plant as a nutritional

of Moringa oleifera is its very wide range of vital antioxidants, antibiotics and nutrients
including vitamins and minerals. Almost all parts from Moringa can be used as a source
for nutrition with other useful values (as cited by Razis 2014).

In general, the incorporation of different parts of moringa into products, such as bread,
pastries, snacks and beverages, increases the nutritional profile of the product (proteins,
essential amino acids, minerals and fiber), the dried leaf powder representing an
alternative to milk and eggs and helping vegans/vegetarians to consume the same
protein content. In the case of dairy and meat products, the goal is to improve the
antioxidant and antimicrobial capacity. In every food product, adding high concentrations
of moringa leads to greenish colorations, herbal flavors and changes in the mechanical
