Abstract: This research evaluates the end-user acceptability and cost-benefit analysis of a fabricated prototype papaya pickled atchara extractor machine. The objective is to assess the feasibility of using these machines in papaya pickled Atchara production by evaluating their potential to enhance compatibility, functional suitability, maintainability, reliability, and usability, and improve overall cost benefits. The findings highlight the importance of key factors like simplicity, compatibility, and ease of use in driving user acceptance of the prototype machine. A user-friendly design was shown to reduce errors and improve overall user experience, increasing the likelihood of widespread adoption. Additionally, the cost-benefit analysis revealed a favorable outcome, with the total machine cost of Php 7,469.00 offset by a projected benefit of Php 25,200.00 in product sales, yielding a cost-benefit ratio of 3.37. This positive result indicates that the machine is financially feasible within the first year of use. Recommendations include the use of stainless steel for the plunger mechanism, cylinder housing, and funnel juice collector to enhance safety and hygiene.
