This study explores the development of Instant Spaghetti Sauce Powder as a shelf-stable,
easy-to-prepare alternative to traditional liquid spaghetti sauces. Driven by increasing
consumer demand for convenience, the research addresses issues of perishability,
transportation, and storage associated with liquid formulations. Conducted by BS Food
Technology students from the Technological University of the Philippines – Manila, the
study employed a systematic approach involving formulation, freeze drying,
physicochemical and nutritional testing, sensory evaluation, and packaging analysis. The
spaghetti sauce powder was formulated using selected tomato varieties, herbs, and
functional additives like citric acid, xanthan gum, and silicon dioxide. Freeze drying was
chosen for its ability to preserve flavor and nutrients more effectively than thermal
drying. Physicochemical testing confirmed acceptable pH levels, low water activity, and
good pigment retention, indicating shelf-stability and quality. Nutritional analysis
revealed the presence of essential macronutrients, vitamins A, C, and E, and minerals
such as potassium and iron. Functional property tests showed high solubility and
effective rehydration. Sensory evaluation results using a 9-point Hedonic Scale in five
different cities showed that the product was well-received, particularly in terms of flavor,
aroma, texture, and overall acceptability, with most ratings falling within the “like
moderately” to “like very much” range. Microbiological tests confirmed the product’s
safety, while shelf-life testing demonstrated stability over time when stored in sealed
pouches. The study concludes that instant spaghetti sauce powder is a promising product
with strong market potential, especially for busy households, food entrepreneurs, and
consumers in remote areas. While flavor optimization and consumer education remain
important, the product meets key quality standards and provides a sustainable alternative
aligned with current food trends
