"Fermentation of Fish Sauce (Patis) in the Philippines"
A study of Philippine fish sauce (patis) was carried out on the biotechnology, chemical changes in fish component, and the formation of flavor compounds during fermentation. Each five sample of patis made from dilis (Stolephorous spp.) and mixed...

Beef-loaves (sausage-type emulsions) were prepared using lean beef and different levels (percentage) of tempeh gembus, a fermented soybean residue and by-product of "Philsoy" (milk-like drink from soybean) manufacture. Fermentation was used... Read more.MS in Food Science (University of the Philippines Los Baños)"Genotype x Nutrition Interactions in Growth and Laying Performance of Ducks"
Two independent experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of breed, plane of nutrition, and breed x plane of nutrition interactions on the performance of a meat-type Mallard Pekin (Anas platyrhynchos), Muscovy (Cairina moschata), and...
