Abstract: FERNANDO, ANGELA CORONEL; GUEVARA, JOSHUA TIMOTHY CARLOS; RAQUEL, LAUREN FRANCESCA TAPIA. Starch Content of Sugar Palm (Arenga pinnata) at Different Life Stages. A Research Study (General Science Curriculum). Science High School, College of Education, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2011 Adviser: Dr. Lorenzo Lapitan Jr. This study was conducted at the Kaong Project of Cavite State University from October 2010 until March 2011 to produce starch from sugar palm. It aimed to determine the stage at which sugar palm will produce the most amount of starch and produce starch that would equal the expected amount of starch as presented by foreign producers of sugar palm starch. Starch was produced by drying the extracted substance from the shredded kaong pith. It was then weighed and compared. Treatment 1 (sugar palm before flowering) produced 162.9g, Treatment 2 (sugar palm during flowering) produced 38.7g and Treatment 3 (after flowering) produced 11.1g. After analysis, Treatment 1 produced the greatest amount of starch. Due to limited resources and unexpected conditions, namely: scarcity of sugar palms in Cavite State University, insufficiency of human resources, lack of time and proper equipment and environmental factors, the researchers were not able to do the original plan in which nine palms would be subjected to the experiment. The study has proven that it is possible to produce starch from sugar palm by following the correct procedures. However, the researchers were only able to produce small amount of starch compared to the massive production of starch of foreign countries because of limited resources.
