Abstract

“Polvo” is the Spanish word for dust or powder, and “polvoron” is a popular Philippine dessert in fully-packed powder form with these ingredients: all-purpose flour, powdered milk, sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Now, a researcher from the Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College (NISPC) in Estancia, Iloilo, central Philippines, adds more value to the popular dessert by enriching it with calcium and protein. Dr. Laurentina Calmorin, a professor and researcher at NISPC, conducted a study utilizing milkfish bones, which is considered offal or waste by the boneless bangus or milkfish industry, as additional ingredient in making polvoron.
