This study examines the development of Sitaw Cracklings, an innovative snack utilizing Sitaw as its primary ingredient. The research evaluated the acceptability of two Sitaw Cracklings variants— Classic and Spicy—assessing key sensory attributes: appearance, aroma, taste, and texture. Additionally, it identified the most preferred variant and proposed further innovative Sitaw-based products based on the findings. The study employed a quantitative development research design, gathering data from 50 respondents, including 10 young entrepreneurs, 10 CTHBM instructors, and 30 third-year BSHM students. A self-made questionnaire was used as the primary data collection tool, and the results were analyzed using weighted mean calculations. The findings revealed that Spicy Sitaw Cracklings achieved the highest overall acceptability, with a total weighted mean (TWM) of 3.82, making it the most preferred variant. The Classic Sitaw Cracklings followed with a TWM of 3.62. Both variants were rated as "Highly Acceptable," with specific ratings of 3.53 for Classic and 3.56 for Spicy. While respondents expressed high satisfaction with both products, they recommended incorporating new flavors and enhancing the appearance and aroma to further improve sensory appeal. As an output, the study developed a brochure showcasing the recipe and preparation process for Sitaw Cracklings, highlighting Sitaw's versatility as an ingredient and its potential for creating sustainable and innovative food products.1 aArbo, Trisha Mae L.eauthor.1 aBucad, John Patrick G.eauthor.1 aBuquiron, Diana Angela V.eauthor.  aCarilo, Maruja C.eadviser.  aOliveros, Rosanna B.echair, panelist.  aBulalacao, Rosalie B.epanelist.  aLumabe, John Mykelle H.epanelist.  2ddcn0cUMhC757s iBSHMkUTHm2024  00102ddc4070aCSPCbCSPCcUTHd2026-01-29l0oUTH BSHM C757s 2024p007164UMr2026-01-29 08:59:31t1-1w2026-01-29yUM  c31631d31631
