Abstract: AYOS, MA. ANJELIC P.. DOLLENTE, KAYLA GRACE R. and LEYBA, PATRICIA ANNE B. Drying Effects on the Quality, Nutrient and Microbial Composition of Selected Plant Leaves. A Research Study (General Science Curriculum). Science High School, College of Education, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2011. Adviser: Engr. Jaime Q. Dilidili. The study entitled Drying Effects on the Quality, Nutrient and Microbial Composition of Selected Plant Leaves was conducted at Cavite State University and Barangay II, Indang, Cavite from October 26 to December 11, 2010. This study was conducted to: a) evaluate the levels of quality of the dried plant leaves; b) determine the amounts of nutrients present on the dried plant leaves; c) determine the total counts of microbes present on the dried leaves; and d) identify the best dryer based on the quality, nutrient and microbial composition of the plant leaves. Three treatments were used. The first treatment used a clear-plastic solar dryer. The second treatment used a black-plastic solar dryer. The third treatment used an oven dryer. Three plant leaves were used namely Guyabano (Anona muricata L.) leaves, Malunggay (Moringa oleifera Lam.) leaves and Pansit-pansitan (Peperomia pellucida) leaves. These plant leaves were dried separately on each treatment. The results revealed that in terms of quality, the best treatment for the dried guyabano leaves is Treatment 3, Treatment 2 for the dried malunggay leaves and Treatment 1 for the dried pansit-pansitan leaves. In terms of nutrient contents, Treatment 1 is the best treatment for the dried guyabano and pansit-pansitan leaves and Treatment 2 for the dried malunggay leaves. According to microbial contents, Treatment 1 is the best treatment for the dried guyabano leaves and Treatment 3 for the dried malunggay leaves. No best treatment was selected for the dried pansit-pansitan leaves since the microbial analysis yielded equal results.
