    CHAPTER 1

    INTRODUCTION

    Nature and Background of The Study

    Thinly sliced food that has been fried until it is crunchy is referred to as a chip. People of all ages

    turn to this as their preferred snack choice for various occasions. But as people have become more health

    conscious, vegetable chips have become increasingly popular. This is crunchy, salty, and produced with

    farm-fresh ingredients that are chopped up and lightly cooked.

    5P's is a business that will offer a healthier variety of snacks in the form of squash chips. Squash

    has several nutrients that are suitable for human consumption such as Potassium (K), Phosphorus (P),

    Magnesium (Mg), Iron (Fe), and Selenium (Se) (Escarez, Magsino, & De Castro, 2018). This nutritious

    squash chip is a more healthful option or substitute for the common potato chip or any other kind of chip.

    These products will be produced using farm-fresh ingredients with less carbs and salt in its production.

    The business aims to provide delicious, healthy, and affordable snacks to customers. It seeks to not only

    satiate their cravings, but also provide a new and healthy snack alternative that can benefit their body. The

    squash chips also are for the purpose of addressing the prevalent problem of eating junk food which will

    also encourage the people especially the young people to eat healthy snacks. With the production and

    selling of squash fries, the business will be able to establish a relationship not only with its customers but
