TESIS TIDBITS: Big Ideas in Small Bites 💡

Are you willing to try flour made from coffee residues? How about snacks made from fish skins?

These are just a few examples of upcycled foods, but what exactly are they? A recent study looked at what consumers in Metro Manila know about upcycled foods, how they feel about them, and whether they’d actually buy them.
Read more about upcycled food and why it’s worth trying at the CHE Library.

Thesis Bibliographic Information:
Assessment of Consumer Knowledge, Attitude, Perception, and Willingness to Purchase Upcycled Foods in Metro Manila (Castulo, HE-3567T, LG 993.5 2025 F6 C37)

Make sure to follow us every Thursday for more stories and discoveries from the College of Home Economics.
