INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
As time pass by, various consequences have occurred along the focus of
the globe to the emulsification of commercial beverages that is becoming
more synthetic than natural. This somehow causes various concerns in terms
of commercial and biological platform to people. Meanwhile, coloured juices
come in different natural sources but is somehow grape juice which is known
to be natural purple colour with its natural flavour is only available to
countries in the world which causes unavailability to tropical area where this
fruit is not available. Also, occurring illnesses such as urinary track infection
is becoming worst due to the massive engagement of drinking common
commercial juice. Many suggest that Clitoria Ternetea an Asian Pigeon Purple
juice but at the same time a human healthy and safe for biological
improvements. Along the tropical countries, herbal beverages are becoming
more in trend specially the Clitoria Ternetea which is known having so much
benefits to the human health as main enhancer and many more. ( Al-Snafi;
,2016).
Most of their commercial juices sold in the market may cost much prices as
a result of the inflation rate in the world platform yet it turns out to be
synthetic and chemically added when it is distributed to countries when the
national fruit flavour is not available like grape which originates at Brazil and
European countries and not in tropical areas like Philippines. ( Granato et.al,
2015).
Meanwhile, in the Philippines, there are various factors that affects the
unavailability of grape juice. This includes the price, origin and market. Yet
this country is a tropical place where Clitoria Ternetea may grow on a native
by a product and is cultured by the people which is merely attainable and
economically helpful when making it as a juice but still needs testing.
In Mabini, Clitoria Ternate is known for a great drink with great attributes
and good organic taste. Also,there are many blue ternate in Mabini.
The researchers will attempt to conduct the comparative-experimental
research that will measure the level of Satisfaction of Pindasan Grade 12
Students between the Clitoria Ternetea (Blue Ternate) juice and the
Commercial Grape juice.
The purpose of the quantitative study was to uplift the organic things
around us, to convince the respondent and to compare the level of
Satisfactory between organic and commercial which main ingredient can be
found in the scope. In addition, this study will gain positive engagement of
organic things that will soar high the state of a person and choose the best,
affordable and healthier.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The research study was followed with the following research questions:
1.) What is the level of satisfaction toward commercial grape juice in
terms of :
● Taste
● Texture
● Color
2.) What is the level of satisfaction toward Clitoria Ternetea ( blue ternate )
juice in terms of :
● Taste
● Texture
● Color
3.) Is there a significant different between commercial and natural calamansi
juice?
Hypothesis:
The null hypothesis below are tested at 0.05 level of significance.
1.) There is a null significant relationship between the level of
commercial grape juice and a level of Clitoria Ternatea juice of Grade
12 Senior High School students in Pindasan National High School.
2.) There is no domain that significally influences the commercial and
Clitoria Ternatea juice of Pindasan National High School.
Theoritical Framework
This study was from Hindawi (2019) who studied the Clitoria Ternetea
flower extract and its application to beverages. The researchers theory was all
about the content of Clitoria Ternatea and its good effect in incorporating it to
beverages.
Aside from containing antioxidant, Clitotia Ternetea, Clarified White Clitoria
Ternatea have only a very little light yellow coloring within the core. In
addition, thus white flowers have an extra medicinal effect than the blue
flowers. Clitoria Ternetea shows the effects of antidepressant and stress
reliever. Also it aids to in curing taken orally. ( Georjo Johan 2010 ).
In addition, Clitoria Ternatea extract is a great source of antioxidants and can
improve and develop the hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness
and decreasing cohesiveness of food like sponge cake. (Pasukamonset et al.,
2018)
Conceptual Framework
In the Figure below, the Natural Blue Ternatea Juice (Clitoria Ternatea) and
Commercial Grape Juice is the Independent Variable, while the satisfaction
level of Grade 12 Pindasan Senior High School students is the Dependent
Variable.Two types of Juices will cause the changes and the satisfaction level
of Grade 12 students will be the one to bear the changes, in terms of taste,
color & aroma caused by the Independent Variable.

Significance of the Study
Organic sources of fruit juices are important for the welfare of consumers
without being engage with chemical processing. This study aims to help
economically and biologically beneficial for the suggestion of other ways and
ideas innovation for future innovation of researchers.
This study will be a guide for the people who needs to have good medicinal
affects organically ad the people who needs to have affordable and organic
healthy drinks instead of the expensive commercial drinks.
In addition this study will also nurture the nature and give appreciation on
it. The outcome of the research will benefit the following:
Students: This study will be their guide in choosing the best drinks to take.
This study will also spread the importance of having organic drinks instead of
expensive drinks. In addition, this study will also help the students to be
more aware between synthetic and natural.
Parents: This study will build the sense of choosing what is the best and right
drinks to take. By this study, parents will be more aware of the big difference
of organic into commercial.
Future Researchers: This study will serve as a great perspective for knowing
the difference between organic and commercial. By this study, future
researcher can be more aware and gain more exploration into the organic
things in the globalized world.
Scope and Limitation
The main content of this study was only to seek knowledge about the
differences between Clitoria Ternetea and Commercial Grape juice. This
study was only limited to the chosen student of Pindasan National High
School particularly the Grade 12 Section Fortitude, Transcendence, Prudence
and Empowerment Senior High School Students who will be the chosen
respondents to the study, in Davao De Oro of School Year 2019-2020. The time
and duration of the study was from
Definition of Terms
Clitoria Ternetea - commonly known as Asian
pigeonwings, bluebellvine, blue pea, butterfly pea, cordofan
pea and Darwin pea,[is a plant species belonging to the family Fabacea.
Natural – never undergo in chemical processing
Commercial – grape powdered juice process and mixed with preservatives
and undergo chemical process.
CHAPTER 2
Review of Related Literature
Clitoria Ternatea as Natural Juice
In as early as the 1950s, studies on C. ternatea sought to elucidate its
pharmacological activities, phytochemical composition and active
constituents (Grindley et al., 1954; Piala et al., 1962; Kulshreshtha and Khare,
1967; Morita et al., 1976). Clitoria ternatea, commonly known as butterfly pea,
is a perennial herbaceous plant from the Fabaceae family. It has recently
attracted a lot of interest as it has potential applications both in modern
medicine and agriculture, and as a source of natural food colorants and
antioxidants (Front plan sci., 2019).
Butterfly Pea plant and tea made from it were used to relieve general p
ain, decrease inflammation, help with specific eye problems such as conjuncti
vitis, battle certain types of cancer, promote brain health, and "increase vitalit
y”(Greenblender, 2020).
For centuries Clitoria Ternatea has been used as a memory enhancer, b
rain booster, anti-stress and calming agent (Majestic Herbs, 2019).
Additional studies have shown the tea's ability to help reduce intern-
al inflammation (Greenblender, 2020).
According to (Ad Taranalli,2000), Clitoria Ternetea extracts has been
tested in rats that is really a brain tonic that enhances brain. In addition, the
root parts were found to be more effective.
In addition, according to Ravindra B Malabadi;2012), Clitoria
Ternetea’s whole plant extract is a great antibacterial through the silver
nanoparticles synthesized from plant extract and has many pharmaceutical
applications for the control of deadly pathogens.
Commercial Grape Juice
Grape juice is rich in Vitamins, amino acids, proteins, minerals and
various organic acids (TICO, 2020). The potential health benefits associated
with grape juice have attracted attention of children, elders and athletes,
resulting in 570% increase in grape juice commercialization worldwide in the
past 10 years (IBRAVIN, 2015; Bragantia and Scielo, 2018).
Also, Commercial Grape Juices inhibit the in Vitro Oxidation of Human
Low-Density Lipoproteins that delivers cholesterol to cells in the body.The
function of LDL is to deliver cholesterol to cells, where it is used in
membranes, or for the synthesis of steroid hormones (blue pathway). Low
Density Lipoprotein is considered to be undesirable and is often called "bad"
cholesterol because it deposits excess cholesterol in blood vessel walls and
contributes to hardening of the arteries and heart disease. (Edwin N. Frankel
et al., 1998)
Clitoria Ternatea Juice and Commercial Juices Quality
Juice is the liquid from a fruit or vegetable. Fruit juices are packed with
vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. Researchers have found that these
compounds in fruit and fruit juice help to maintain good health by preventing
and fighting disease (Margaret Wandrey, RD, LD, 2007).
Juices are rich in anti-inflammatory compounds that can boost the
immune system and help a person feel more energetic. Juices may help
improve digestion through the addition of healthy enzymes that make the gut
more productive to function (Gerhard Whitworth, R.N., 2018).
Compared with unpasteurized juices, refined fruit juices are
considered safe and nutritious (low pH) since untreated juice can carry any
pathogen, that is, Salmonella , and Escherichia coli. The major concern
associated with juice drinks is yeast fermentation, and uncarbonated (still)
juice drinks are grown mold.( Ashurst and Hargitt, 2009)
Most of the consistency of the juice depends on the quality of its raw
material or ingredient, i.e. fruits, water, sweeteners, additives, flavors,
preservatives, etc. and more emphasis was on the raw material or ingredients.
High quality raw fruits, which are free from any injuries or contamination, are
required for the production of premium quality food. (Ashurst et al., 2017).

METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the research design, research locale that was used by the
researchers in conducting this study.
Research Design
This research used comparative experimental design involving two
variables through the design of an experiment. Comparative experiments are
usually designed to test the relationship between independent and dependent
variable. Also it can be designed to collect data under different conditions.
This requires a testable hypothesis, at least one independent (manipulated)
variable, one dependent (responding) variables and control group (ASE-
SCIENCE, 2015).
Quantitative data is numerical data such as statistics percentages, etc. The
analysis in the research data will be a guide for an unbiased result that can
give aid and can be generalize to larger population. This study used
quantitative research, which composed of investigation via statistical,
mathematical or computational techniques. The goal of quantitative research
is to enhance mathematical model that involves theories and hypothesis. The
process is quantitative research because it give great connection in terms of
mathematical techniques, via statistical data that express a quantitative
relationship and connection
Research Locale
The actual testing between Clitoria Ternatea (Blue Ternate) and
Commercial Grape Juice was conducted at the Pindasan, Mabini, Davao De
Oro.

Ethical Consideration
It is imperative that ethical issues are addressed while the assessment p
lan is being formulated. In assessment the ethical considerations include:
Informed Consent
Informed consent means that the individual involved in the assessment is
fully informed of the assessment being carried out Participants must be made
aware of the project's intent, who or what organization funds the project, how
the results will be used, if there are any adverse effects of their involvement
and who will have access to the findings. The main purpose of informed
consent is for the participant to be able to make an informed decision as to
whether or not they will participate in the assessment. In case the participant
becomes distressed in any way during their participation additional
information should also be provided.
Voluntary Participation
Voluntary involvement means people are free from coercion to participate in
the evaluation. Participants are free to withdraw their participation at any
time without adversely affecting their involvement in future programs or the
current system and relationships with any of the researchers or research
institutes involved. It may be hard to persuade high-risk youth to participate
in the program, and it is therefore difficult for participants to choose not to
continue the program.Participants are entitled to leave such a program at any
time so no pressure should be placed on those who choose not to continue.
Explanations are not necessary, either.
Do no Harm
Harm can be both physical and/or psychological, and can therefore be in the f
orm of: stress, pain, anxiety, diminishing self-
esteem or a privacy invasion. It is imperative that the assessment process does
not harm participants in any way (unintended or otherwise)
Confidentiality
Means that no one but the program coordinator makes any identifying inform
ation available or accessible to them. Confidentiality often guarantees that suc
h identifying information is removed from all records or documents released.
Since there are often small numbers of peerbased programs, it is very importa
nt to consider how reports are worded to ensure that there is no potential for i
ndividuals to be recognized even if names are not being used.
Anonymity
is a more strict form of privacy than confidentiality, because the research tea
m remains unaware of the participant's identity. This is more difficult to achie
ve than confidentiality, since the program coordinator usually knows the parti
cipants in social research
Only assess relevant components- Only evaluate those components which
are relevant for the program / initiative being carried out. High-risk
populations are sometimes used as guinea pigs or as test subjects to ask all
kinds of questions in assessments that are of interest to the program /
initiative groups but are not important to the program or to the group
involved in the project..
It is important to keep evaluations as simple as possible and to stay focused o
n the purpose of the evaluation and what the collected data will be used for.
Statistical Tool
These are the statistical tool that will treat the data gathered in the
conduct of the study.
Mean refers to the mean or average used to derive the central trend of the dat
a at issue. It is calculated by combining all of a population's data points and th
en dividing the sum by the number of points. The number that results is kno
wn as the mean or average.
Likert Scale. The most broadly used method for scaling responses in survey
studies. Survey questions that ask you to indicate your level of agreement,
from strongly agree to strongly disagree.
Analysis of Variance. A collection of statistical models and their associated
estimation procedures (such as the "variation" among and between groups)
used to analyze the differences among group means in a sample.
