Chapter I. Introduction

Background of the Study

We know today that ingredients and processing steps that have been approved
by the Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory bodies do not ensure that all
the food we eat will contribute to our general nutrition and health. We as food
consumers suffer “death by a thousand cuts” because of the poor choices we make, but
the food preparation industry also lacks any mechanisms for coordinating or regulating
the total intake of nutrients and ingredients on an individual level.

In other words, any given food item you consume may be safe to eat, but if you
eat too much of it then you take on risk of harming your health. Take salt, for
example. We know from decades of research that eating too much salt is associated
with poor health and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. But research also shows
that the picture is more complicated than we previously understood. Some people
tolerate higher salt intake than others. The variations in people’s tolerances for
potentially toxic foods makes it very difficult to set realistic guidelines .Also, many small
factors may be associated with real health problems, but determining causes and
effects is still very difficult. We can be more certain of the association between
processed foods and poor health than of why our health declines if we eat too much
processed meat.

Processed meats like sausage are good alternative choices to sweet


foods. Hence, if you eat more fibery vegetables and fewer starches with your sausage
you’ll enhance what you eat with the flavor of the fat (and salt) in the sausage. On top
of the iron and vitamins, some sausage ingredients provide other benefits. Take garlic,
for example. When included in chicken sausage garlic not only enhances the flavor of
the product but it also provides some of garlic’s natural healthy benefits. In fact, the
antioxidant capability of the garlic even helps to preserve the sausage meat longer.
Also, eating a protein-rich breakfast makes it less like you will snack throughout the
day. That is important to reducing the consumption of “empty” calories from junk food,
and eating less healthy foods. But the secret to success lies in when you eat your
sausage. It works better for you when consumed as an early morning meal.

Theoretical Background

Food Quality, Processing And Preservation Theory

The course provides an overview of food processing and preservation techniques.


Principles of food preservation and processing by different techniques such as heating,
chilling, freezing, dehydration, canning, salting, etc. for meat, vegetables and dairy
products are discussed. Methods used in prolonging the shelf life of foods and their
effects on the quality and safety of food., food additives, post harvest technology and
management and health risks associated with foods are also covered. According to 21
USCS § 321, "processed food" means any food other than a raw agricultural commodity
and includes any raw agricultural commodity that has been subject to processing, such
as canning, cooking, freezing, dehydration, or milling.

Are there any health benefits in eating Sausage?

-Unknown Author, July 15, 2015


Sausage is a processed meat and as such has been included in a class of foods
that health experts generally warn that you avoid or reduce use of in your diet. But does
that mean sausage is completely unhealthy? Does it mean you should never eat
sausage again? Let’s take a look at the risks AND the benefits of eating sausage.

The Filipino-style diet has gradually edged toward the unhealthy end of the scale
across many decades of introducing changes in the way we prepare our food. Although
many people now advocate organic lifestyles, it’s not as if food production is all
bad. The regulated food production and processing industries really do make our foods
safer in many ways, because they test for bacteria and ensure consistency in quality of
ingredients and nutrients. Before we had a food preparation industry you could never
be sure of the quality of the food you were eating.

Modern life expectancy projections are greater today than ever before in part
because of improvements in food preparation and processing, not just because of better
health care (which remains unavailable to most of the Filipino) and sanitation. All of
these factors contribute to our ability to live longer, healthier lives than our ancestors
did.It is becoming clear that while processed meats won’t be leaving the American table
any time soon, we need to limit how much sausage we eat. We can benefit from the
nutrients and good taste of sausage without taking on excessive risk.

Also, you have a range of choices with your sausages. You can choose
sausages that have fewer ingredients (thus fewer carcinogens) and a little bit less meat
(70% meat content should be okay).

And it should help if you consume more probiotics in your diet, such as kefir and
yogurt. Probiotic foods replace the “good” gut bacteria in your body that are killed off by
antiobiotics, bad bacteria, and poor nutrition.Also, sausage goes well with other foods
that may be good for you. So if you intend to keep sausage in your diet, look for recipes
and meal plans that pare it with interesting foods, like sausage links and wine.

The Vitamins That Can Get From Sausage –

Sylvie Tremblay , 2012

The U.S. Department of Agriculture classifies sausage and bacon as part of the
protein foods group, and recommends that men consume 6 ounces and women
consume 5 ounces of protein foods each day. While the USDA recommends that most
of your protein food intake should come from lean sources -- such as beans, lentils and
lean cuts of poultry -- high-fat fare like sausages and bacon can be consumed in
moderation without destroying your diet. Despite their nutritional drawbacks, sausages
and bacon provide a source of some essential nutrients needed for good health.

Bacon and sausage each contain several grams of complete protein per serving,
and each provides all nine amino acids you need in your diet. Your body uses protein to
maintain lean muscle mass and hormone balance, aid in brain function and keep your
other tissues healthy and functional. The average American needs approximately 0.4
grams of protein per pound of body weight each day, according to Iowa State
University. This translates to 60 grams of protein daily for the average 150-pound
individual. A 3-ounce serving of bacon contains 29 grams of protein, while sausage
offers 13 grams per serving.

Bacon and sausages provide vitamin B-12, a nutrient important for healthy red
blood cells. Vitamin B-12 allows you to make hemoglobin, the protein your blood needs
to transport oxygen. Consuming enough B-12 also helps you metabolize fats and
protein, plays a role in brain function and protects you from the nerve damage that can
result from vitamin B-12 deficiency. A 3-ounce serving of bacon provides 1 microgram
of vitamin B-12 -- 42 percent of your daily recommended intake, according to the Office
of Dietary Supplements. Sausage contains slightly less vitamin B-12 -- 0.8 micrograms,
or 33 percent of your daily recommended intake, per serving.

Sausage and bacon contain iron, an essential mineral also important for
hemoglobin production. Each hemoglobin protein contains four iron atoms, and
consuming enough iron in your diet helps ensure that you can make enough
hemoglobin to support red blood cell function. Iron also makes up a component of
myoglobin, a protein your muscles use to store oxygen. A 3-ounce serving of bacon
provides 0.8 milligrams of iron, while an equivalent serving of sausage provides 1.1
milligrams. Both foods help you reach your recommended daily iron intake -- 18
milligrams for women and 8 milligrams for men, according to the Linus Pauling Institute.

VII. Method of Research

This research was conducted to determine the health benefits can get in some
processed foods like sausage with the used of descriptive method. The descriptive
research method is more on collecting, analyzing and also to describe the data and
characteristics about what is being studied. Under this method, the researchers can
easily gain a better understanding of a topic.

VIII. Research Tools

This research was made possible through the used of observations and
interviews as the main tool in analyzing data.through observing. The researchers take
down notes of all important things observed in doing a sausage the after that the
inferences about the difference and similarities regarding that were noted.The interview
or asking questions to the well-experienced person in making the said product was gave
opportunity for the researchers to have a detailed explanations and accurate data aside
from the sources given in the internet.

IX. Scope and Delimination

This study was limited only to the students of Balagtas National Agricultural School
attending a senior high schools, school year 2016-2017, who are engage or interested
in making this homemade product. The research was to determine the health benefits
that can get in eating a sausage and to analyze if processed foods are can bring
harmful or not to an individual’s health.

less healthy?
 These foods can also be higher in calories due to the
high amounts of added sugar or fat in them.

 Preservatives make a processed food less healthy like


some of the flavor enhancers, such as monosodium
glutamate (MSG) which intensify the flavor of other
compounds in a food.

 The trans fats and sugar present in processed items can


cause inflammation, an unhealthy condition that leads

to asthma.

or 35% strongly agree with that. No one in the respondents strongly disagree with the
mentioned statements but there were 2 out of 20 or 10% of them were disagree.
Preservatives make a processed food less healthy like some of the flavor enhancers,
such as monosodium glutamate (MSG) which intensify the flavor of other compounds in
a food. Most of the respondent agree on that statement because there was a recent
studies about this matter and they proved it true. So , there were only 5% of the
respondents both disagree and strongly disagree while 3 out of 20 of them were neutral.
The last statement gives rise to the strongly agree which has 30% or 6 out of the
respondent says that the trans fats and sugar present in processed items can cause
inflammation, an unhealthy condition that leads to asthma. There was a possibility that
some of them might experience it. The number of respondents who agree and neither
agree nor disagree with it has the same quantity.

Conclusion

We process foods every day when we prepare meals for ourselves, yet we
frequently hear the term ‘processed food’ bandied about in a negative fashion,
suggesting that processed foods are in some way inferior to their unprocessed
counterparts. But think about it, looking at the definition above again, even foods like
making a sausage is a processed food; mixing the ingredients together and to make it a
new product is a ‘process’. Therefore we conclude that it’s true that a large amount of
processed foods contain unwanted food additives that may not be ideal for our bodies
but there’s nothing wrong with this, indeed, the way of process in making the sausage
helps to have some micronutrients which are good in normal growth and development
of an individual.

Ingredients such as salt, sugar and fat that sometimes added to processed foods
to make their flavour more appealing and to prolong their shelf life, or in some cases to
contribute to the food's structure, such as salt in bread or sugar in cakes. This can lead
to people eating more than the recommended amounts for these additives, as they may
not be aware of how much has been added to the food they are buying and eating. So
we, the researchers analyzed that these foods can also be higher in calories due to the
high amounts of added sugar or fat in them. And based on the sources that the we got,
Furthermore, a diet high in red and processed meat (regularly eating more than 90g a
day) has also been linked to an increased risk of bowel cancer. Some studies have also
shown that eating a large amount of processed meat may be linked to a higher risk of
cancer or heart disease. So therefore we conclude the additives and preservatives
makes a processed food less healthy like some of the flavor enhancers, such as
monosodium glutamate (MSG) which intensify the flavor of other compounds in a food.
Your body needs energy to work normally and keep you alive. You obtain this
energy from nutrients in the food that you eat - mostly, carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Minerals and vitamins are other nutrients that are also important in your diet to help your
body stay healthy. So researchers concluded that the fish sausage can be part of a
healthy diet especially that fish is the main ingredients of the said products. We use an
ingredients that cannot add calories but more on nutrients. We lessen the used of
preservatives. So it helps to reduce your risk of developing some cancers and help you
to keep a healthy weight. It is general advice for most people. It is important to find the
right balance between these different nutrients to achieve maximum health benefits

Recommendation

After doing this research and analyse the benefits from eating a processed foods,
we researchers recommend that when making any processed foods you should
minimize the use of preservatives or additives because based on the previous studies
too much used of it can be harmful for our health. It is also advisable to lessen eating
meat because it might be the start of a growing disease in our body. We also
recommend to everyone to choose wisely the foods you eat because, not all delicious
foods are nutrious.
