ROMANES, MAY ANNE JOY. Applied Research 111, Cavite State University. College of Education, Science Highschool, Indang, Cavite. April 2006. Utilization of
Acacia Bark Fiber and Pineapple Leaves' Fiber in the Production of Paper. Adviser: Engr. Renato B. Cubilla
This study entitled "Utilization of Acacia Bark Fiber and Pineapple Leaves' Fiber in the Production of Paper" was conducted at Calumpang Cerca Indang Cavite from December 2005 to January 2006. Generally, it aimed to utilize acacia bark and pineapple leaves' fiber in the production of paper. Specifically, it aimed to determine the physical characteristics of the produced paper; to evaluate the general acceptability of the produced paper; and to determine the cost analysis of the produced paper.
The treatments used were Tl (100% acacia bark fiber paper), T2 (50% acacia bark fiber and 50% pineapple leaves' fiber paper), and T3 (100% pineapple leaves' fiber paper). These treatments were replicated three times.
The study shows that the acacia bark fiber and the pineapple leaves' fiber are good combination in making paper. This proves to be one of the best treatments (with Pineapple leaves' fiber paper) in terms of color, flatness, general appearance, and general acceptability . However, in terms of cost per sheet, Tl (acacia bark fiber paper) proved to be the best among the three.
