First this study compared the corresponding costs in producing both chico and traditional sausage. Then, the study employed the experimental method in determining the acceptability of chico sausage with regards to its taste,texture,and aroma. The experimentation utilized a researcher-made questionnaire. The participants of this study were the fifteen randomly selected meat vendors and fifty-five meat consumers from a public market in Barangay Talamban Cebu City. Lastly, statistical treatments were used for data analysis.These are the weighted mean and Tukey's HSD Post Hoc test. In the chico sausages that has 150 g of chico, it has the total cost of P47.42 with a cost per serving that yields 15 g is P15.81. The meat sausage which uses 75g of ground lean pork and ground pork fat and has a total cost of P60.92 and a cost per serving that also yields 50 g is P20.31. The theoretical nutritional value of a 100 g of chico are the following: 73.7 g of water, 108 kcal of energy, 0.5 g of protein, 0.9 g o of fat, 24.5 g of carbohydrates, 7.3g of dietery fiber, 0.4 g of ash, 37 mg of calcium, 9 mg of phosphorous, 1.0 mg of iron, O g of retinol, 60 g of carotene, 10 g of total vitamin A, 0.01 mg of thiamine, 0.01 mg of riboflavin,and 28 mg of ascorbic acid.
