Abstract

Sunrich Manufacturing Corporation is a company that engages in the manufacturing and dehydration of natural food products made from fruits and vegetables, meats and seafood, flours, herbs and spices extraction of fats or oil blends and toll packing of other immediate food ingredients. It targets multi-national food manufacturers in and outside the Philippines. This field practice report however, focuses only in the processing of gabi bits from the corms of fresh gabi (Colocasia esculenta L.). The process flow of gabi bits starts from receiving of fresh gabi to delivery of processed gabi bits. Between these processes are the following: washing, slicing, water blanching, layering, drying, inversing, weighing, and packing, grinding, weighing and re-packing, blending, sieving, weighing, sealing and packing, storage, and the metal detection test. The field practice made it possible for the trainee to apply the engineering principles that she learned throughout her course, specifically agricultural and bio-process engineering, in actual work. She participated in the processing of gabi bits during her stay at the company for 200 hours, and evaluated the company's operation and management, and manpower requirements. The trainee also provided suggestions and recommendations in the processing of gabi bits.
