On Friday, September 22, 2023, ISAT-U Leon campus, Office of the Research Services held special in-house review on dehydrator machine. The concept proposal presentation is in relation to the installed dehydrator machines under the special in-house project entitled, “ESSENTIALS: Establishment of Support System for Education, Nurturing Research, Technology Development and Industry Competitiveness through Adept Laboratory Services.”
Mr. Melchor C. Calaor, head of the Office of Instruction warmly welcomed the faculty, project leaders, and researchers. Prof. Hilario S. Taberna, a project leader and a senior researcher gave message on the importance of dehydrator machine. It is a good solution to the overproduction of fruits and vegetables. Dehydrated fruits and vegetables last longer. He also added the other research topics related to dehydration machine.
Dr. Eric James P. Talagon presented the “Effect of Dehydrator Machine on Physico-chemical Properties, Shelf-life and Storage Life of Dried Tomatoes. Other proponents of this proposal are Gwen D. Anuevo and Miss Joylyn C. Cabarles. The second concept proposal was about “Mulberry and Maluggay Tree” presented by Miss Joylyn C. Cabarles together with Miss Julie Ann C. Casido. Dr. Renerio S. Mucas , project leader/inventor of dehydrator machine and Prof. Hilario S. Taberna, a project leader and a senior researcher gave suggestions and insights how to further improve the concept proposal. Prof. Hilario S. Taberna stressed that researchers need to go to the field to know the needs of the local farmers.
Dr. Renerio S. Mucas demonstrated how to use the dehydrator machine and it gave chance to other faculty and researchers to have hands on experience in operating the said machine.
Miss Julie Ann C. Casido, ISAT U Leon campus research coordinator expressed her gratitude to everyone who attended the said activity.
