CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM: RATIONALE AND BACKGROUND
Background of the Study
Candies are popular dessert and sweet food, it is commonly eaten by kids
who doesn’t know how to dispose their garbage properly. Plastics are potentially the
most harmful waste material thrown out in open.
Throwing garbage improperly will cause pollution that is extremely
dangerous to all living organisms.Large piles of trash, particularly with a lot of
wrappers, can cause fires to spread.Litter is deadly to wildlife, especially marine
animals. Street litter washes into storm drains, into our waterways and ultimately
ends up in the ocean. Some of this litter washes back up onto beaches. Some stays in
the water, where it can kill wildlife.The edible wrapper is healthy to our body
because it has vegetable flavour. The edible wrapper will either be thrown away or
eaten. If it’s thrown away it will decompose or dissolve in water.
The edible wrapper is made of glycerol. This edible wrapper is designed to
avoid pollution that can harm people, animals, trees, etc.
Statement of the Problem
Generally the research aims to use edible wrapper as an alternative, instead of
using plastic wrapperthat is inedible and harmful to living organisms when disposed
improperly.
Hypotheses of the Study
Ho1:The edible wrapperas acandy wrapper will not be safe when disposed
improperly
Ha1: The edible wrapper as acandy wrapper will be safe when disposed
improperly
Significance of the Study
This study will benefit the following:
Street sweepers. The result of this study will minimize the time of cleaning
because the wrapper dissolve in water.
Manufacturers. The result of this study will help manufacturers by selling
candies with the edible wrapper to the market.
Animals. The result of this study will help animals by eating this healthy
candy wrapper.
Scope and Delimitations of the Study
The study will be conducted to test the effectiveness of the edible wrapper.
The study will be conducted on a span of 2 weeks or longer. The edible wrapper will
also be observed daily to test how many days before it decompose.
Definition of Terms
These are words that are needed to be defined for further understanding.
Candy. a sweet food made with sugar combined with fruit and chocolate.
Decompose. to break down or be broken down into simpler parts.
Dissolve. is defines as to become broken up or absorbed by something.
Edible. fit to be eaten.
Plastics. a synthetic material made from a wide range of organic polymers.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter provides laws, investigations and studies already presented and
conducted to which the present study is related or has some bearing, similarity or
difference. It includes the legal bases, literatures and studies.
Related Legal Bases
RANo. 10611,alsoknown as the “Food Safety Act of 2013” It is an act to
strengthen the food safety regulatory system in the country to protect consumer
health and facilitate market access of local foods and food products, and for other
purposes.
Republic Act No. 8485, also known as "The Animal Welfare Act of
1998"It is the purpose of this Act to protect and promote the welfare of all animals in
the Philippines by supervising and regulating the establishment and operations of all
facilities utilized for breeding, maintaining, keeping, treating or training of all
animals either as objects of trade or as household pets. For purposes of this Act, pet
animal shall include birds.
Republic Act No. 7394, also knownas the "Consumer Act of the Philippines"It
is the policy of the State to protect the interests of the consumer, promote his general welfare
and to establish standards of conduct for business and industry.
Related Literature
Edible film is defined as thin, continuous or unbroken sheets made up of
edible substances (Balasubramaniam, Chinnan, Mallikarjunan& Philips, 2007;
Guilbert, Cuq&Gontard, 1997). They are excellent alternative to conventional plastic
or even biodegradable plastic in different industries. Natural polymers like lipids and
protein are used to produce the environmental friendly edible films. They can be
made of soy or milk protein molecules too (Eagle, 2004). These films can be placed
in between food element, act as a food wrapper and a pocket to hold food
(Hernandez-Izquierdo&Krochta, 2008). Besides, they prevent oxygen absorption,
offer physical protection and act as a substitute for plastics in wrapping materials.
For a broader variety of application in the industries, antioxidant and flavors
can be added.
Research groups and the food and pharmaceutical industries recognize edible
packaging as a useful alternative or addition to conventional packaging to reduce
waste and to create novel applications for improving product stability, quality,
safety, variety, and convenience for consumers. Recent studies have explored the
ability of biopolymer-based food packaging materials to carry and control-release
active compounds. As diverse edible packaging materials derived from various by-
products or waste from food industry are being developed, the dry thermoplastic
process is advancing rapidly as a feasible commercial edible packaging
manufacturing process. The employment of nanocomposite concepts to edible
packaging materials promises to improve barrier and mechanical properties and
facilitate effective incorporation of bioactive ingredients and other designed
functions. In addition to the need for a more fundamental understanding to enable
design to desired specifications, edible packaging has to overcome challenges such
as regulatory requirements, consumer acceptance, and scaling-up research concepts
to commercial applications.
Related Studies
According to Jung H. Han in his research entitled Edible Films and
Coatings, Edible films and coatings are produced from edible biopolymers and food-
grade additives. Film-forming biopolymers can be proteins, polysaccharides
(carbohydrates and gums), lipids, or a mixture of these Gennadios et al., 1997 (see
Figure 9.1). Plasticizers and other additives are combined with the film-forming
biopolymers to modify the physical properties or other functionality of the edible
films. Biopolymers have multiple film-forming mechanisms, including
intermolecular forces such as covalent bonds (e.g., disulfide bonds and crosslinking)
and electrostatic, hydrophobic, or ionic interactions. For the resulting films or
coatings to be edible, the film-forming mechanism involved in fabrication should be
an appropriate food process—namely, pH modification, salt addition, heating,
enzymatic modification, drying, use of food-grade solvents, or reactions with other
food-grade chemicals. The control of fabrication process conditions is very important
because the changes in treatment conditions can alter kinetics and reaction
mechanisms (Guilbert et al., 1996, 1997).

METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the research design, the ingredients and materials,
procedures, sampling designs, population sampling, data gathering instrument, and
statistical treatment of data and the tools that were used for data analysis.
Research Design
This study used the single-group design. The independent variable was the
amount of glycerol as an additive in making the edible candy wrapper. While the
dependent variable is the use of edible wrapper as a candy wrapper in terms of its
smell and taste.
Population and Sampling
In this study Unrestricted Random Sampling was used. Because this type of
sampling is the best for this study due to every member of population has their equal
chance of being involved as and there is no restricted impose. The researcher will get
15 SSC students of Ilocos Norte National High School in the Special Science Class
program. In which each of the respondents will be given a product to try, test, and
observe the effectiveness in terms of its smell and taste.

edge) in the work surface
8. Spoon 15mm of the gelatin mixture into the lids.
9. Wait for the wrappers to dry until the edges starts to lift up.
10. Once the edges are starting to lift. Insert a toothpick or thin skewer under
the edge of the thin film and run around the edge to lift it from the lids.
C. Placing the candy in the edible wrapper
1. Place the candy in top of the flat edible wrapper.
2. Twist and crimp the ends using your fingernails to compress the twisted
part closet to the candy.
Data Gathering Instrument
The data gathering instrument used in the study was checklist. It was used as
basis in scoring the final product. Each respondent was given one where he/she
evaluated the use of edible wrapper as a candy wrapper in terms of smell and taste.
The products were rated using 9 Point Hedonic scale.
