Message from the Secretary
The year 2010 saw the country in transition. A new President was
elected, which also coincided with changes in the leadership of
many government agencies, a great number of which also coped
with the challenges of internal reorganizations. At the Department
of Science and Technology, such efforts were pursued with the clear
view of serving our publics better in the delivery of S&T services.
In line with the objective of promoting public-private partnerships
under the administration of His Excellency Benigno Simeon Aquino
III, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) has been
busy building and strengthening its linkages with its stakeholders
both at the local and international levels.
Hence I commend the Food and Nutrition Research Institute
(FNRI) for internalizing this commitment by undertaking high-
impact research projects that address the nutritional problems of
Filipinos, especially those from marginal and vulnerable groups. I salute the FNRI for its

Congratulations!
I am likewise encouraged by FNRI’s steady promotion of optimum
nutrition by developing and updating nutrition tools and standards
for program planners, diet counselors, and public health workers,
and creating easy-to-follow information materials for consumers. It
has also introduced an on-air program, Nutrisyon Is Kool, designed
to teach the televiewing public the basics of good nutrition. This
program is set to debut in the first quarter of 2011.

The FNRI’s technical assistance to small and medium enterprises
and similarly-sized organizations proved successful in the overall
improvement in the nutritional status of the population by expanding
food choices and increasing availability and knowledge of cheaper
sources of nutritious food.

Message from the Director
I am pleased to present our 2010 Annual Report, the product of a
dynamic year for the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the
Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST). The Institute
moved swiftly to meet the challenges of addressing the continuing
problem of malnutrition in its various forms, and of working with
our government’s new administration.
This report follows the outline of our Major Final Outputs, providing
details on the accomplishments over the past year and plans for
the future. The FNRI management and staff worked together to
better understand how nutrition interventions should be designed
so that improvements in nutritional status and implementation
of programs will be optimized. We determined the benefits of
functional foods, fortified foods and other food products that will
contribute to these improvements. We likewise developed tools and
information materials that would enhance assessment, planning and nutrition research and
and preparation of diets, and maximize dissemination of research development.

production of potential functional foods.
Two methods of extraction procedures,
namely Shiomi and Salama were compared
to determine which one is more applicable
to the food samples being analyzed. The
results on the analysis of 11 different food
samples showed that although there was
no significant difference between the two

“FOS content was highest in

The study recommends the use of the Shiomi
method in the extraction of FOS in food
samples and subsequent quantification using
High Performance Liquid Chromatography
(HPLC). It also suggests development of new
food products utilizing good sources of FOS
such as yacon, onions, garlic, tomato, lacatan
and yellow ginger.

of corn and corn products and roots/tubers,
and to increase dietary sources of energy in
the Filipino diet, the FNRI-DOST developed
and printed the 2011 FNRI Menu Guide
Calendar featuring recipes that use these
food items.
Recipes were developed based on the
results of a series of focus group discussion
(FGD) among FNRI staff which explored and
elicited feelings about energy-giving foods.
A two-series trial formulations and sensory
evaluation of 15 recipes were conducted.

http://www.fnri.dost.gov.ph 19To estimate and evaluate the adequacy of
folate from food of the population, the FNRI-
DOST developed a handbook on folate
content of foods consumed by Filipinos. The
handbook can be used in studies regarding
diet-health-disease relationships especially
among women and older people.
The handbook was developed from the
database of foods items consumed by
Filipinos containing folate gathered from
various sources. Pre-testing of the prototype
was conducted by the Philippine Information
Agency (PIA) among nutrition researchers,
“The handbook is nutritionist-dietitians in hospitals and nutrition
