JACKFRUIT (Artocarpus heterophyllus) SEEDS FLOUR AS ALTERNATIVE IN
MAKING PANCAKE.
ABSTRACT
Jackfruit seeds, despite their rich nutrient content, are often overlooked and discarded without
considering their potential applications. This research study was conducted at MSUN-IDS in
Naawan, Misamis Oriental, aimed to explore the texture, color, and taste of pancakes made
with different formulations using jackfruit seed flour as an alternative ingredient. Three
formulations were tested, varying the proportion of jackfruit seed flour. The results indicated
that Formulation C, comprising 100% jackfruit seed flour, achieved the highest average mean
for texture (2.45), while Formulation A, with 50% jackfruit seed flour, obtained the lowest
average mean (2.35). Notably, all formulations yielded pancakes with a moist texture.
Regarding color, Formulation A attained the highest average mean (3.15), resulting in a color
level described as "neither light nor brown," whereas Formulation C had the lowest average
mean (2.225), corresponding to a "brown" color level. The taste evaluation demonstrated
similar satisfaction levels across all formulations. Statistical analysis shows significant
difference in color among the formulations, highlighting the favorable color characteristics of
pancakes with 50% jackfruit seed flour. However, no significant difference was observed in
terms of texture and taste. These findings offer valuable insights into leveraging jackfruit seed
flour for pancake production, particularly for optimizing texture, color, and taste attributes.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Rationale
Flour is usually made from wheat and it is used to bake breads, cakes, and sweets.
Since the Corona Virus first appeared, many people have developed a baking hobby, and some
have even turned it into a side business. Wheat flour is becoming more expensive by the day.
Due to the increase in the price of flour, this fruit will be utilized as a source alternative for
commercialized flour in order to find an affordable organic alternative and help reduce jackfruit
seed waste after harvest (Royees & Pandey, 2022). Jackfruit, commonly known in the
Philippines as “Langka”, is a fruit that has a distinctive, musky smell and is sticky but tasty and
nutritious (Silver, 2014). Ngwere and Mongi (2021) stated that jackfruit seed flour (JSF) had
significantly higher protein, fiber, and mineral contents than commercialized flour. Its seed had
proteins and essential vitamins like vitamin B complex, iron, calcium, copper, potassium
magnesium ,and zinc, these nutty seeds help in breaking down complex carbohydrates into
energy, prevent bacterial infection, and promote digestion (Setiawan et al.,2016). It also
contains several oligosaccharides such as raffinose and stachyose, and these substances
would also create a darker color during flour processing. The high amounts of antioxidants help
in nurturing and enhancing skin and hair (Basu, 2022). However, just like marang (Artocarpus
heterophyllus) seeds, people tend to throw away the jackfruit seeds because they thought they
have no other uses for it, but if they collect all the seeds of the fruit, they would be able to
produce another raw material for food by preserving it (Cabresos et al., 2010).
The fruit is eaten and cooked in several ways, while the large seed is edible when
boiled or roasted. It is well assured that sun-drying makes the jackfruit seed safe and can be
Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide knowledge about Jackfruit (Artocarpus
is usually eaten for breakfast or a snack and a small business to make an affordable product
and also to see if there is a significant effect on its characteristics, now that the percentage of
jackfruit seed flour is the majority, unlike in other related studies, in all of their formulations, only

a small percentage of it is added: 10%, 20%, 25%, 40%, 45%, and the biggest would be 75%,
which will be compared to a 100% formulation of wheat flour. In the study that was conducted
by Dey et al. (2015), the result shows that there is no significant difference since jackfruit seed
flour does not have a big effect because it is overpowered due to its small percentage compared
to wheat flour. Here, researchers wanted to find out if there is a difference with a formulation of
1.2. Objectives
This study aimed to determine the effect of jackfruit seed as a flour alternative in making
pancakes. An evaluation was done in terms of their texture, color, and taste.

Consumers. This study will help to innovate the flour as the consumer uses the
alternative jackfruit seed flour to be one of the ingredients for cuisine purposes and other
home recipes. Entrepreneurs. This study is believed to help produce and introduce
new and in-Home Economics subjects and products thus, increasing productivity and wages.
Jackfruit farmer. This study is deemed to be advantageous as the products to be made in the
study are cultivated by the farmers, thus will increase the demand for jackfruit as it will help the
society to produce more jackfruit for the leading demand of producing alternative flour.
Waste management unit of the government. This study will help the local or city
government in producing a by-product from food disposal. It will also be a livelihood program
Future researchers. This study can help future researchers as an additional knowledge and
guide for the future studies involve in the jackfruit flour-making industry. It would help them to
be a better researcher and it will be a reference for more studies in the future.
This study focused mainly on the production of flour through the use of jackfruit seed
an alternative flour. This study will only use the seeds of the jackfruit and a commercialized
Class C flour since it is made for creating soft doughs and batters for baked goods (Pilmico
Flour, 2020). This study is unable to prove that jackfruit seed flour is an acceptable alternative
to all-purpose flour.
There were forty (40) raters composed of ten (10) teachers and thirty (30) students
from MSUN-IDS and they were selected randomly. The selected individuals will only rate the
three different formulations of pancakes that have different amounts of jackfruit flour added.
The information piled up in this review suggests that jackfruit seed flour supplementation with
wheat flour has great potential for developing bakery products without affecting sensory
qualities. These seeds can also be utilized for starch and protein extraction. The majority of the
reviewed studies indicated that processing jackfruit seed flour into value-added products
certainly serves to sustain the farm income of jackfruit growers by enhancing their return.

2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter contains a review of literature and related studies regarding the importance
of jackfruit seed, its nutritional value and functional properties of seed flour at different
2.1. Jackfruit
of the tropics. In the article Jackfruit Taxonomy and Waste Utilization, Sundarraj et al. (2018)
stated that jackfruit is considered an underutilized fruit, where most of the fruits get wasted due
to unawareness, a lack of post-harvest technology, and gaps in the supply chain systems. A
wide gap exists in the marketing of jackfruit and its waste, which can be processed into value-
added products that can be fulfilled for additional income as well as food security. Also, Agarwal
(2018) states that Jackfruit seeds is nutritiously important which contains antioxidants that helps
prevent from free radicals, has vitamin A that benefits the skin, and iron in hair growth, also
have high contain of dietary fiber for digestion and potassium and calcium for the growth of
bones.
Ngwere and Mongi (2021) stated that jackfruit seed flour is very rich in nutrients and
may be incorporated into wheat flour to develop nutrient-dense baked products. Consumption
of these products may improve the nutrition status of the people, and jackfruit seed flour has
more proteins, fibers, ash, carbohydrates, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus
Proximate analysis showed that Jackfruit seeds contain 15.88% moisture, 2.49% crude
fiber, 5.78% protein but low in fat (1.77%). Among functional properties jackfruit seed flour had
higher fat absorption capacity (72%) than water absorption capacity (86%). Jackfruit seed flour
also showed 33% dispersibility, 2.31% solubility and 1.46 g/g swelling power (Islam et. Al,
2015).
According to Arefin et. al (2022), the nutritional value of jackfruit is equivalent to that of
rice, barley, wheat, and maize. Therefore, it has the potential to be used to create products with
5
added value. The nutritional value of powdered jackfruit seed is unknown to the majority of
individuals. However, if consumed raw, they have the potential to reduce the body's ability to
absorb nutrients and raise the risk of bleeding in individuals who are already on certain drugs.
From that perspective, jackfruit seed powder can be an excellent choice to be used as an
additive in different food products. Besides, it can contribute to the reduction of post-harvest
Meethal et al. (2017) stated that the present studies indicate the potential application of
jackfruit seed flour for the preparation of a low-cost nutritious value-added product since
nowadays consumers are more concerned about their health. In the article that was published
by Palamthodi et al. (2021) they concluded from the results they obtained those composite
flours developed can replace 100% wheat flour in production of various snacks with better
with the jackfruit seed flour supplementation to wheat flour by also doing setups of different
amount of jackfruit seed flour added where the percentage of jackfruit seed flour used in the
breads were 25%, 35%, 45%, and 55% to find out the best composition for preparing bread
with wheat flour. As a result, it is found that composite breads with different level of jackfruit
seed flour used are nutritionally better than control sample however they had observed that the
higher the increase of substitution, there will be a significant decrease in color, flavor, texture,
taste and overall acceptability of the bread. Overall, they stated that a substitution of 25%
Jackfruit seed flour was the most acceptable in terms of nutritional value and acceptability.
Same with the effect of substation of jackfruit seed flour on macrons that was studied by
Habibah et al. (2021) where 25% is the best percentage of formula added. Macron, with the
addition of jackfruit seed flour, has a significant effect on the texture, color, and taste.
Jackfruit seeds offer significant nutritional benefits but are neglected and
underappreciated by people while making up 10% to 15% of the weight of the fruit (Hossain et
al., 2014). The seeds are removed from the ripe fruit in various areas of South India, dried in
the sun, and then properly kept for use during the rainy season. Huge numbers of seeds are
6
lost each year as a result of the challenges associated with processing and storage. The seeds
are typically thrown away as waste due to their perishable nature, but they can last for about a
month if they are kept in a cold, moist environment. The roasted seeds can be ground into
powder and added to various goods to increase their value and shelf life. By combining it with
wheat flour and other inexpensive flours, jackfruit seed powder is used as an alternative flour
in baking and confectionary items (Hossain, 2014). The seeds are either boiled, roasted, or
used to potato dishes in several regions of India (Banerjee & Datta, 2015). Due to insufficient
protein intake, malnutrition is one of India's biggest issues. To combat malnutrition, jackfruit
seeds could be used as a cost-effective substitute protein source. The rising consumer
knowledge of the connection between nutrition and disease has raised the demand for jackfruit
seeds. Given that it provides additional physiological benefits in addition to basic nutrition, it is
During the flour process, it requires a treatment such as blanching. since this kind of
jackfruit seed to become food raw material, is the oligosaccharides content (Wichienchot et al.,
2010). These oligosaccharide types which include raffinose, stachyose and verbascose are
difficult to be digested because the small intestine of mammals does not have the enzymes
which can degrade this kind of oligosaccharide. When these oligosaccharides passed into large
intestine, after fermented by intestine microflora, they will produce gas and cause flatulence.
the rectum will cause pathological symptoms including headache, dizziness, and even mental
disorder. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate those kinds of oligosaccharides from the jack

3. MATERIALS AND METHODS
This study used the quasi-experimental rather than descriptive due to the rating scale
from the hedonic scale that quantifies the properties. The pancake made from jackfruit seeds
were rated by randomly selected forty (40) individuals which comprised teachers and students
from Mindanao State University at Naawan – Integrated Developmental School. They rated
according to the criteria given to evaluate the texture, color, and taste of pancakes made out of
jackfruit seed.
The study was conducted at the Home Economic Building within MSUN- IDS at

3.3.3. Preparation of pancake
In three separate bowls, the dry ingredients were combined: 30g of baking powder, 5g
of salt, 150g of sugar, and the appropriate amounts of jackfruit flour mixed with Class C flour.
In another mixing bowl, 650 mL of milk, 2 whole eggs, and 30g of melted butter were combined
to create the wet ingredient mixture. The wet ingredients were gradually added to the dry
ingredients, and they were mixed well until thoroughly combined. A pan was preheated over
medium heat and then reduced to low. The pan was brushed with butter to coat its surface. A
portion of the batter was poured onto the pan, forming a pancake. It was cooked for
approximately 30 seconds, or until the edges of the pancake started to pull away. A turner was
used to flip the pancake, and it was cooked for another 30 seconds on the other side. These
steps were repeated for the remaining batter, cooking pancakes until all the batter was used
up.
The data were collected from the responses of the forty (40) randomly selected
respondents. They rated the pancake in terms of its texture, according to the scale below.

This study used Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to compare the means of jackfruit seed
flour and commercial flour. And if the result of the ANOVA showed significant differences among
the three set-ups of jackfruit seed flour, namely 50%, 75%, and 100%, in texture, color, and
taste, with a significant level of 0.05 on the hedonic test, further post hoc testing was carried
out.

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
4.1. The texture, color, and taste of pancakes from different formulations.
The texture of pancakes plays a significant role in their overall appeal and enjoyment.
Achieving the perfect pancake texture involves finding the right balance between lightness,
fluffiness, and slight crispiness. It is this delightful texture that adds to the pleasure of biting into
a well-made pancake.

Table 5 shows the difference in texture, color, and taste of pancakes in different
jackfruit seed flour formulations. Using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), the result reveals that
only color found a significant difference among the three different formulations since the f-value,
which is 10.93, corresponds to the probability value (p-value) of 0.001, which is less than the
0.05 level of significance. Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected, and it is concluded that
different formulations of jackfruit seed flour on pancakes had different results in terms of color.

5. SUMMARY AND DISCUSSIONS
5.1. Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of jackfruit seed as a flour alternative
1. The average mean for texture in pancakes reveals that among the three different
formulations, Formulation C, which consists of 100% jackfruit seed flour (500g jackfruit
flour and 0g Class C flour), achieved the highest average mean of 2.45. On the other
hand, Formulation A, with 50% jackfruit seed flour (250g jackfruit flour and 250g Class
C flour), obtained the lowest average mean of 2.35. Overall, the average means across
2. The average mean for color in pancakes shows that among the three different
formulations, Formulation A, with 50% jackfruit seed flour (250g jackfruit flour and 250g
Class C flour), attained the highest average mean of 3.15. In contrast, Formulation C,
with 100% jackfruit seed flour (500g jackfruit flour and 0g Class C flour), obtained the
lowest average mean of 2.225. Overall, the average mean of 3.15 in Formulation A
resulted in a color level of "neither light nor brown" within a range of 2.50-3.49, while
3. The average mean for taste in pancakes indicates that Formulation B, with 75%
jackfruit seed flour (375g jackfruit flour and 125g Class C flour), and Formulation C,
with 100% jackfruit seed flour (500g jackfruit flour and 0g Class C flour), achieved the
same average mean of 4.225. In comparison, Formulation A, with 50% jackfruit seed
flour (250g jackfruit flour and 250g Class C flour), obtained an average mean of 4.025.

10.93 corresponded to a probability value (p-value) of 0.001, which is lower than the

5. The results of the study suggest that the pancakes with 50% jackfruit seed flour
obtained significantly higher ratings in terms of color compared to the 75% and 100%
6. The results indicate that there is no significant difference in the texture and taste of the
pancakes among the three different formulations. However, a significant difference was
observed in terms of color, as evidenced by the p-value of 0.001, which is lower than
5.2 Conclusion
This research study concluded that Formulation A, which contained 50% jackfruit seed
flour, had the highest average mean for color, indicating that it achieved a color level of "neither
light nor brown." Formulations B and C, which contained higher percentages of jackfruit seed
flour, resulted in a color level of "brown." The result also concludes the three different
formulations of pancakes, the texture and taste did not show significant differences among

6. IMPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1. Implications
The result of this study implies that jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) seeds can be used
as an alternative flour despite the effects of their color on pancakes in 50% jackfruit seed flour.
The findings also implies that incorporating jackfruit seed flour into pancake formulations can
influence the color of the pancakes. Specifically, pancakes with a lower percentage of jackfruit
seed flour achieved a color closer to "neither light nor brown," while higher percentages resulted
in a brown color.
6.2. Recommendation
Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations are proposed:
1. When conducting research involving seeds, it is highly recommended to dry roast them,
especially when converting them into flour. This approach not only saves time but also
ensures that the seeds are dried simultaneously, which is beneficial for further
processing.
2. It is advised to use white sugar instead of brown sugar for achieving a desirable
appearance of the final product without impacting its color. Using white sugar can help
maintain the desired color of the product while providing the necessary sweetness.
