Based on the above results, the predicted shelf-life of the vitamin A in fortified peanut butter is 6.5 months at Philippine ambient condition of 30 o C. However, based on the combined results of its physical, chemical and sensory characteristics, the fortified product has only a shelf life of 188 days or 6.25 months. Table 8.10 Results of regression analysis of Vitamin A (retinol) in peanut butter packed in transparent glass tumbler with design. Temperature R 2 Co (μg Vitamin A k (μg Vitamin A/ g ln k (°C) /g peanut butter) peanut butter/day 45 8.17 0.0648 -2.74 0.9005 40 8.17 0.0636 -2.76 0.9174 35 8.17 0.0299 -3.51 0.9830 Evaluation of Documents for Sangkap Pinoy Seal Application FDC was informed that the industry collaborator do not intend to apply for Sangkap Pinoy Seal because of the need to focus on the correction of plant deficiencies. The latter is needed to enable the company for GMP Accreditation and HACCP Certification which incidentally are one of the requirements for obtaining the Sangkap Pinoy Seal. CONCLUSION Knowledge of the holding time of the premix prior to its use in manufacturing is necessary to ensure that no vitamin A is lost during its target storage of 12 days. The stability of vitamin A in the premix is important so that the level of vitamin A in the final product is able to meet the regulatory requirements for fortified foods. The stability of vitamin A in the final product is one of the requirements in the application of the Sangkap Pinoy Seal. REFERENCES Labuza, T.P. 1984.
