Based on the above results, the predicted shelf-life <strong>of</strong> the vitamin A in fortified peanut butter is<br />

6.5 months at Philippine ambient condition <strong>of</strong> 30 o C. However, based on the combined results <strong>of</strong> its<br />

physical, chemical and sensory characteristics, the fortified product has only a shelf life <strong>of</strong> 188 days or<br />

6.25 months.<br />

Evaluation <strong>of</strong> Documents for Sangkap Pinoy Seal Application<br />

FDC was informed that the industry collaborator do not intend to apply for Sangkap Pinoy Seal<br />

because <strong>of</strong> the need to focus on the correction <strong>of</strong> plant deficiencies. <strong>The</strong> latter is needed to enable the<br />

company for GMP Accreditation and HACCP Certification which incidentally are one <strong>of</strong> the<br />

requirements for obtaining the Sangkap Pinoy Seal.<br />

CONCLUSION<br />

Knowledge <strong>of</strong> the holding time <strong>of</strong> the premix prior to its use in manufacturing is necessary to<br />

ensure that no vitamin A is lost during its target storage <strong>of</strong> 12 days. <strong>The</strong> stability <strong>of</strong> vitamin A in the<br />

premix is important so that the level <strong>of</strong> vitamin A in the final product is able to meet the regulatory<br />

requirements for fortified foods. <strong>The</strong> stability <strong>of</strong> vitamin A in the final product is one <strong>of</strong> the requirements<br />

in the application <strong>of</strong> the Sangkap Pinoy Seal.<br />
