PNS - BAFS 47 - Distilled Fermented Coconut Sap (Coconut Lambanog)

The Philippine National Standard (PNS) for Distilled fermented coconut sap
(Coconut lambanog) was developed upon the initiative of the Local Government Unit
(LGU) of Tayabas, Quezon, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Regional Office
IV (Quezon) and the DTI – Center for International Trade Expositions and Mission
(CITEM).
Recognizing the export potential of distilled coconut sap locally known as “coconut
lambanog”, the Department of Agriculture (DA) created an inter-agency Technical
Working Group (TWG) to specifically address the concern of the industry. The TWG
is composed of the Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Product Standards (BAFPS),
Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA), Industrial
Technology Development Institute (ITDI), Bureau of Product Standards (BPS),
Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) – Quezon and the LGU of Tayabas,
Quezon.
The provisions of the standard apply to coconut lambanog and provide common
language on product and process definition, essential composition and quality
factors, packaging, hygiene and labeling requirements.
