The technology on drying porphyra using a heat pump dryer grabbed the second prize in the annual Aquatic Technology Competition and Marketplace (ATCOM) held Jan. 29-30 at the Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development (PCAMRD) Headquarters in Los Baños, Laguna.
Porphyra, locally known as “gametâ€, commands high price in the market. Fisher folks in the country usually dry this seaweed under the sun – a practice considered as crude and unsanitary. With this winning technology, cleanliness of the product is assured. Aside from this, the heat pump-dried porphyra has higher nutritive value compared to the sundried one. Using the technology can give an 83.71 percent return of investment.
Dr. Zenaida M. Agngarayngay, supervising education specialist and main author of the technology, received a cash prize of Php100,000 and a certificate of merit during the awarding ceremonies that coincided with PCAMRD’s 21st Founding Anniversary on Jan. 30. Other generators of the technology are: Ana Fe C. Llaguno, science research analyst, and engineer Lorcelie B. Taclan, science research assistant.
The ATCOM award is given annually by the National Aquatic Resources Research and Development System (NARRDS), a nationwide network of private and state colleges and universities, government agencies, and cooperating institutions. Coordinated by PCAMRD, the competition aims to acknowledge outstanding technologies generated by its members. It is also a venue for promoting the marketing and commercialization of aquatic technologies to stakeholders.
