Abstract

The Food Science and Technology plant practice was conducted at Guaranfood Manufacturing Corporation located at San Pablo City, Laguna from April 26 to May 19, 2011 for 150 hours. Guaranfood Manufacturing Corporation is a fully commercialized food condiments manufacturing industry, committed in producing good-tasting, safe and quality food products. To be familiar with the company, orientation on the operation of the company Quality Assurance (QA) procedures and rules within its premises was given. QA includes the receipt and inspection of raw and packaging materials, in-line production, and packaging of the product. The trainee was exposed to the various tasks of the Quality Assurance Department and carried out an audit regarding the Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOPs), physico-chemical analysis, and sensory evaluation of samples after processing. The company also allowed the trainee to observe microbial tests conducted within the company. The student-trainee had learned the actual processing and sanitary procedures of the products done by the company through hands- on experience. The principles and techniques learned from the university by the student-trainee were employed during the training period. The company has a good hygienic processing procedure and record keeping scheme. The recommendations given by the student- trainee are: provide proper ventilation and exhaust, create a well-trained sensory panel, assure timely delivery of supplies, and place individual water distilling machines in laboratories.
