The main objective of this said plant practice was to brief and acquaint the student with the actual processing plant operations set by the company. The student was assigned in the Quality Assurance Division wherein she was able to experience a hands-on training on the analysis of physicochemical properties as well as the sensory characteristics of the products manufactured by the company which specifically focused on the production of coffee mixes. In line with the quality control and quality assurance procedure, the student was assigned in the acceptance of the raw materials and packaging materials used in the production of the products.
