The study aims to develop a Pomelo Lambanog Popping Boba as an innovative entry to the competitive alcohol industry. Lambanog is a traditional distilled alcoholic beverage in the Philippines. The processes used in this study are fermentation, distillation, and reverse spherification. Coconut water is fermented to create a tuba or coconut wine, then it is distilled to concentrate the alcohol and remove impurities. To ensure the safety of the product, careful processing during the distillation process must be observed to avoid methanol content. The final distilled product is infused with pomelo as flavoring. With reversed spherification, the pomelo lambanog is turned into an alcohol popping boba using calcium lactate and sodium alginate. The Pomelo Lambanog Popping Boba is stored in a clear glass container to maintain product quality. Using Gas Chromatography testing, it was revealed that the product’s Ethanol content is 26.79 percent, directly translating as its alcohol by volume percentage. It was also revealed that the product contained no trace of Methanol, and is therefore safe to consume. The product is evaluated on 5 criteria namely; visual, aroma, taste, texture, and general impression. The evaluation resulted in an “Like Very Much” descriptive rating. Echoed suggestion mentions improving the size of the boba. Based on the findings, the study can potentially help open an untapped market for alcoholic popping boba and create the gate for Philippine lambanog to enter in the mainstream market.
