Abstract

The practicum was conducted at the Quality Assurance Department under the Frozen Processed meat section of the third plant of CDO Foodshpere, Inc. at Brgy. Bulihan, Malvar, Batangas. The training lasted from May 2 to May 25, 2012 for a total of 150 hours. CDO is one of the leading companies that offer superior quality meat, marine, and dairy products, thus providing total customer satisfaction. The practicum aimed for the student to experience tangible working environment with the intention of developing aptitude and sovereignty in the field of food science and technology and enhance one's familiarity and awareness concerning the food industry procedures and other food related programs. The student was taught of the significance of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in each course of action undertaken within the company. She conducted physico-chemical analyses and sensory evaluation of both raw materials essential for the manufacturing line and final products previous to release and distribution. She also assisted in the inspection of packaging materials and labelling and in facilitating the sensory panel selection prior to the company's impending ISO inspection and accreditation. xi The student's gained knowledge, theories, principles, and techniques from the university pertaining to the food processing were applied in the actual processing plant. In addition, she became accustomed with the proper attitude towards work. During the length of training, problems were identified and possible solutions to these problems were presented.
