CONCEPT PAPER FORMAT

Main Argument/Rationale/ Background of the study

Growing population of people who likes alcohol increases very fast. (Swahn, M. H.),( Palmier, J. B.),
(Benegas-Segarra, A.),( Sinson, F. A.). Alcohol marketing and drunkenness among students in the
Philippines (2013) cited by BMC public health (N.A) sates that almost 9% of Philippines population ages
15 and above have an alcoholic use disorder. Specifically, there are 25% of males and 8.3% of females.
This population consists mostly of boys which have greater percentage than girls. (Labajo, M.V) Alcohol
drinking among Filipinos (2001, 2004) cited by World Health Organization and Department of health
(N.A) stated that the sudden increased of female drinking alcohol is not surprising because there are
regions in our country where females are allowed and acceptable to drink. In addition, the behavior of
drunken woman is still found to be less violent than man. Drinking alcohol sometimes gives us time to
escape reality but on the other hand, drinking too much alcohol can lead to several illnesses. (Freeman,
D.) Health Risks Of Chronic Heavy Drinking (N.D) Web MD (N. A) Stated the different illnesses which
are; Anemia, Cancer, Cardiovascular Decease, Dementia, Depression, Seizures and many more.
To decrease the impact of alcoholic drink to people, wine can be a substitute instead of drinking
heavy liquors. Compared to heavy liquors which contain alcoholic content, wine is much recommendable
for it does not contain much of alcoholic content. (Dudich, A.) 21 Reasons Why Wine is better than Beer.
(2015) cited by TheOdysseyOnline (N.A).it states 21 reasons why wine is better than having a beer but
since it’s too many, I will just state few. These are the reasons; Drinking wine is healthy for your heart, It
tastes better that beer, wine can be cheap, and you can pair wine with just about anything: sweets,
veggies, meats. Aside from the very common wine which is the red wine, we can still make more flavors
of wine. According to Megan Ware (2017) banana are one of the most widely consumed fruits in the
world for good reason. It helps lower blood pressure and reduced risks of Cancer and Asthma. Also,
bananas are rich in mineral called potassium. This is very important because it helps maintain fluid levels
in the body and regulates the movement of nutrients and waste in and out of the cell. Potassium is also
helpful when it comes to our muscles, it contract nerve cell to respond. It also helps for our heart and
decrease the risk of having blood pressure. Potassium also helps to reduce the risks of having kidney
stones .In addition, these are other vitamins that banana provides; Vitamin B6 for normal brain
development , Manganese for our body to function properly, Vitamin C to prevent infections and to have
a healthy immune system, Dietary Fiber to prevent constipation , Magnesium for bone structure,
Riboflavin for growth and overall health, Niacin for good healt, Vitamin A for healthy vision and skin and
Iron to carry oxygen in the hemoglobin.. Eating one- medium sized of banana already contains 422
milligrams of potassium.
Through all the ideas and information gathered, the researcher aims to conduct a study of wine
production through the process of Ethanol Fermentation of Musa Acuminata.
Statement of the Purpose or Problem

Materials

 3 lbs. organic Banana Lacatan

 2 lbs. sugar (white or brown)
 1 cup of strong black tea
 8 oz. golden raisins
 White wine yeast
 Yeast nutrient
Methods: Instrument and Procedures
 1 large stock pot
 1 potato masher
 1 Brewing Bin
 1 wine bottle
 1 cloth
 2 Ballons

1. Chop the bananas including the peels and place it in the pot. Include also a stirred gallon
of how water and sugar of your own preference. Cook it for around 45 minutes in a low
power. While doing this, crush the bananas using a potato masher.
2. Slice the raisins and put the raisins in a brewing bin.
3. For around ten minutes, cool down the mixture of banana and strain it to the bin.
4. Add the other ingredients and leave the bin where it’s dark for about five days and
consistently stir the mixture daily.
5. Strain the liquid into a new and clean bin then pour it in the bottle with two ballons.
Leave it in a cool and dark room for about one month.
6. Bottle the wine
Data Analysis and Potential Ethical Issues

There are many possibilities that our wine may fail. When wine is exposed to air, oxygen will oxidize the
wine that can make the wine taste like a vinegar. And the bacteria that float around in the air, this can
breed in the wine and cause it to spoil. Our alternative solution for the failed taste of the wine is that we
will continue to sell the wine as a vinegar. We will do that because instead to waste the product we will
sell that as a vinegar.
