INTRODUCTION  
Background of the Study  
The sensory evaluation of food is crucial in determining its acceptability and palatability to consumers. This  
study focuses on the sensory evaluation of Sulu Native Chicken (Gallus gallus), a traditional poultry breed known  
Page 994  
for its unique flavor and texture, commonly prepared as adobo, a popular Filipino dish. Adobo, which involves  
marinating meat in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and spices, is renowned for its bold flavors and tender texture.  
The Sulu Native Chicken Is prized for its meat quality and flavor, which is often described as more robust  
compared to commercial broiler chickens. However, its tougher texture requires specific preparation techniques  
to enhance tenderness and flavor, making it an ideal candidate for Marination processes.  
Marination, particularly over varying lengths of time, is known to affect the meat’s flavor, tenderness, and overall  
palatability. This study seeks to explore how different marination times impact the sensory characteristics—such  
as taste, tenderness, aroma, and overall acceptance—of Sulu Native Chicken Adobo. In determining the optimal  
marination time, the research aims to enhance the culinary experience of this traditional dish while preserving  
the distinct characteristics of the native chicken.  
The palatability of native chicken meat in adobo is an important factor that is often influenced by the length and  
time of margination. Marinating chicken in adobo sauce, which typically consists of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic,  
bay leaves, and peppercorns, can enhance its flavor and tenderness. The length of marination can vary from a  
few hours to overnight. Shorter marination times, such as-0- hours, can result in a slightly tangy and less salty  
flavor. On the other hand, longer marination times, such as 3 to 6 hours, can result in a more intense and well-  
rounded flavor.  
The time of marination can also affect the texture of the chicken. Marinating chicken for a longer period of time  
can break down the proteins in the meat, making it more tender. However, over- marinating can result in the  
chicken becoming mushy and losing its texture. The ideal marination time will depend on personal preference  
and the desired texture of the chicken. Cooking meat or vegetables in a sauce made from vinegar, soy sauce,  
garlic, and spices. It is typically associated with chicken, but can also be made with beef, or fish. The length of  
marination and the type of marinade used can greatly affect the flavor and texture of the chicken meat. Marinating  
the chicken in an acidic and aromatic mixture can help tenderize.  
The meat, enhance its flavor, and reduce the cooking time. Soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and spices are commonly  
used ingredients in adobo marinades. In terms of length of marination, it is generally recommended to the chicken  
meat in adobo. Calamansi Traditional adobo marinades often include soy sauce, calamansi, garlic, and spices  
like black pepper lemon grass and sugar onion. However, there are many variations of adobo marinades, and  
experimenting with different ingredients and proportions can result in unique flavor profiles.  
Given the scarcity of studies on the sensory properties of Sulu Native Chicken, especially in adobo preparation,  
this research fills a gap by offering insights into how marination time affects its palatability. The findings could  
benefit not only local culinary practices but also contribute to the promotion of native chicken breeds in the  
wider food industry.  
Statement of the problem  
This study is conducted to determine the effect of marinating the meat of native chicken adobo in different length  
of time, and aims to answer the following questions specifically:  
1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of, Age, Gender and Civil Status?  
2. How does the marination over the different length of time can affect the tenderness, juiciness, and general  
acceptability of native chicken adobo?  
3. Is there a significant difference to the length of time (0hr, 3hr, 6hr) in marination during making native  
chicken adobo.

general acceptability of native chicken adobo.  
3. To found out if there is a significant different to the length of time (0hr, 3hr, 6hr) in marination during  
making of native chicken adobo.  
Hypothesis of the study  
The hypotheses of this study are raised as null (Ho) and alternate (Ha)  
Ho: There is no significant difference to the length of time (0hr, 3hr, 6hr) in marination during making of native  
chicken adobo.  
Ha: There is a significant difference to the length of time (0hr, 3hr, 6hr) in marination during making of native  
chicken adobo.  
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK  
The following theoretical framework for the sensory evaluation of the palatability of native chicken (Gallus  
gallus) adobo marinated for different lengths of time could be grounded in various scientific and theoretical  
perspectives, including food science, sensory perception, and consumer behavior.  
Sensory Evaluation Theory  
Sensory evaluation is a scientific discipline used to measure, analyze, and interpret reactions to characteristics  
of food as perceived by the senses of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing (Lawless & Heymann, 2020). Sensory  
attributes such as flavor, texture, and aroma directly influence palatability. In this study, these attributes will be  
assessed by a panel of tasters using sensory evaluation methods like hedonic scaling or descriptive analysis to  
determine the acceptability of adobo.  
Flavor and Palatability Theory  
Palatability is the overall impression of a food’s acceptability based on sensory properties such as taste, smell,  
and texture (Keast & Costanzo, 2020). Chicken adobo, a Filipino dish with marinated chicken in soy sauce,  
vinegar, garlic, and spices, relies heavily on its complex flavor profile, which is influenced by the marination  
time. The length of marination affects the infusion of flavors, tenderness, and overall sensory appeal of the dish  
(Savell et al., 2019).  
Marination Process  
Marination is the process of soaking foods in seasoned liquids to improve flavor and tenderness (Smith & Acton,  
2021). Studies suggest that prolonged marination allows deeper penetration of flavors into the meat fibers,  
improving taste and texture (Hugas & Monfort, 1997). However, there is a point at which marinating longer  
might lead to a breakdown of muscle proteins and negatively affect texture. The marination time is a crucial  
factor in determining the palatability of adobo.  
Page 996  
Meat Quality of Native Chicken (Gallus gallus)  
Native chickens are known for their distinct texture and flavor, often preferred over commercial breeds for  
traditional dishes (Lambio, 2010). However, their meat tends to be leaner and firmer, which might affect how  
they respond to marination. Proper marination may enhance the tenderness and juiciness of native chicken,  
making it more palatable (Ali et al., 2019).  
Effect of Marination Time on Meat Quality  
Marination time is a key factor influencing meat tenderness, juiciness, and flavor development. Several studies  
have shown that longer marination improves tenderness and flavor, but excessive marination can lead to  
undesirable texture (Yang & Lee, 2021). The effect of time on the breakdown of muscle fibers and collagen in  
chicken meat is well-documented in marination research (Xiong, 2019).

Interpretation  
Table 4.4 presents the data and findings for the effect of marination on native chicken adobo through different  
length of time: a. 0 hours, b 3 hours c. hours. As shown in table the respondents have agreed that there is an  
effect of marination on the native chicken adobo through different length of time: a. 0 hours, b 3 hours c. hours.  
In 0 hr the respondents have agreed that the chicken adobo are; Tender, Juicer and Appealing based on the  
weighted mean obtained by each classifications. This further indicates that there is need of length of time for the  
marination, and limited penetration of the marinade into the chicken, leading to surface-level flavor only. The  
meat might taste less infused with spices and seasonings.  
3 hours of marination the respondents have agreed that the native chicken adobo are; Rough Tender, Juicer, and  
Appealing based on the mean obtained by each classifications, this findings further implied that the marination  
process are sufficient for tenderizing, juiciness and appealing effects from the marinade, enhancing the meat’s  
texture while maintaining integrity.  
Based on the weighted mean obtained by each classification, the marination of native chicken adobo over 6 hours  
are; Tender, Juicer, Appealing, This findings further implicates that the marination can be highly acceptable, deep  
colorized, optimal juiciness and further tenderized from the marinade, however the marinade complements the  
chicken, but risks of over-marination should be considered. Furthermore, the Grand Mean of each length of time  
and sensory classification is 3.13 with a description AGREE, which further implied that there is an effect of  
marination on native chicken adobo through different length of time.  
According to Gordon, A., & Barbut, S. (2017) The effect of marination on native chicken over different periods  
involves changes in texture, flavor, moisture retention, and overall sensory qualities. The marination process,  
influenced by time and the composition of the marinade, facilitates tenderization, flavor infusion, and microbial  
inhibition.

Interpretation  
Table 4.4 presents the marination over the different length of time can affect the tenderness, juiciness and general  
acceptability of native chicken adobo, As can be seen in this table the different sensory classification have  
obtained 3 point plus weighted mean, which means the respondents have agreed that different lengths of time of  
marination of native chicken adobo can affect and lead the different sensory classification, and the grand mean  
of the following sensory classifications are 3.45 with a description AGREE, which further implied that 3– 6  
hours length of time of marination appears optimal for native chicken adobo. This time ensures a balance between  
flavor penetration, tenderness, and juiciness without risking textural degradation.  
One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) This statistical tool are employed to find out if there is a significant  
different to the length of time (0 hr, 3 hrs, and 6 hrs) in marination during making of native chicken adobo, and  
to test the hypothesis of this study

Interpretation  
Table 4.6 presents the findings of one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the significant difference to the  
length of time in marination during making of native chicken adobo. As shown in the table, f-value of 14.44 is  
greater than the critical value of 5.14 This indicates that there is a statistically significant difference among the  
groups being compared, and the f-value represents the ratio of the variance between groups to the variance within  
groups. A higher f-value suggests that the variability between group means is significantly greater than the  
variability within the groups. Alpha Level (0.05) The alpha level (significance level) of 0.05 is the threshold for  
determining whether the observed difference is due to chance. Since the F-value exceeds the critical value, the  
p-value associated with this result is less than 0.05. Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis (Ho), this data  
implied that there is a significant difference to the length of time in marination during making of native chicken  
adobo, as based on the analysis of variance the evidence prove that there is at least one group mean is  
significantly different from the others. and there are the total sum of squares are 46.05, the degree of freedom  
are 8, and the mean square are 20.53. The findings revealed that there is a significant difference to the length of  
time in marination of native chicken adobo at hour, b. 3 hours, c. 6 hours, the findings reveal that the native  
chicken adobo are more tender, juicy and good appearance based on how long the length of time of marination.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS  
This chapter presents the summary of findings, conclusions and recommendations of this study on the effect of  
marinating the meat of native chicken adobo in different length of time.  
Summary of Findings  
Based on the responses of 30 respondents there is an effect of marination on native chicken adobo through  
different length of time: a. 0 hours, b 3 hours c. hours, to which the effects of marination on the native chicken  
adobo, have different effects over the different lengths of time. The Grand Mean of each length of time and  
sensory classification is 3.13 with a description AGREE, which further implied that there is an effect of  
marination on native chicken adobo through different length of time.  
The respondents have agreed that different lengths of time of marination of native chicken adobo can affect and  
lead the different sensory classification, and the grand mean of the following sensory classifications are 3.45  
with a description AGREE, which further implied that 3–6 hours length of time of marination appears optimal  
for native chicken adobo.  
For the significant difference data implied that there is a significant difference to the length of time in marination  
during making of native chicken adobo, as based on the analysis of variance the evidence prove that there is at  
least one group mean is significantly different from the others.  
CONCLUSION  
As based on the findings the researchers concluded; Questionnaire are employed to thirty (30) 4th year BS  
Agriculture major in animal science students. To gather the data necessary in this study, SPSS(Statistical Package  
for Social Science) particularly frequency and percentage to identify the demographic profile of the respondents,  
Weighted Mean have and One Way Analysis of Variance are employed.  
The effect of effect of marination on native chicken adobo through different length of time: a. 0 hours, b 3 hours  
c. hours, are significantly affect the tenderness, juiciness and appearance of the chicken adobo. The findings  
implied for the marination over the different length of time can affect the tenderness, juiciness and general  
acceptability of native chicken adobo which 3–6 hours length of time of marination appears optimal for native  
chicken adobo to ensures a balance between flavor penetration, tenderness, and juiciness without risking textural  
degradation  
As for the significant difference, since the f-value (14.44) is higher than the critical value (5.14) and the p-value  
is below 0.05, there is enough evidence to conclude that at least one group mean is significantly different from  
the others, therefore the researchers reject the null hypothesis, which means there is a significant difference to  
the length of time in marination during making of native chicken adobo.  
RECOMMENDATIONS  
The following recommendations are recommended for the following based on the findings of this study:  
Agriculture Students. Analyzing this study may served as a guide and recommendations to start a business with  
poultry production, the students may gain insights about the significance of native products, they would also  
gain comprehensive understanding about native poultry products if they start the same particular business.  
Eatery Business Owners. Giving an importance to native chicken adobo products may serve as a valuable  
insights to determine, how special the native chicken with the adobo recipe with a certain amount of time of  
marination.
