Abstract: GATDULA, GARRY C., MEDINA, RAQUEL M., MEDRANO, ANNE MINNETTE P., VICEDO, ARTHUR JON P., Applied Research III, Laboratory School, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, March 2000. "UTILIZATION OF SUGARCANE BAGASSE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PAPER." Adviser: Mrs. Myleen P. Legaspi Prof. Dulce L. Ramos The study entitled, "Utilization of Sugarcane Bagasse for the Production of Paper," was conducted in order to utilize sugarcane bagasse as a raw material for the production of paper. Specifically, the study aimed to: (a) use bagasse as an alternative for tree's cellulose fibers in commercial papermaking; (b) determine the potential of bagasse as substitute to cellulose fibers of trees in papermaking; and (c) determine which treatment will produce a better quality of paper out of sugarcane bagasse. The study consisted of four phases: Preparation of Raw Materials, Processing of Paper, Product Evaluation 86 Data Gathering, and Data Analysis. The papermaking process was conducted in a paper factory at Carasuchi, Indang, Cavite, from July to October 1999. The chemical used for the softening of the fibers was subjected to three treatments, each of which was replicated three times, and these are as follows: To, 100% caustic soda; Ti, 50% caustic soda 86 50% baking soda; and T2, 100% baking soda. One kilo of raw bagasse was used for each treatment and replication. Each treatment produced six sheets of paper, two sheets per replication. The sensory evaluation of papers was conducted on November 1999. A panel of twenty judges was selected from the Laboratory School of Cavite State University. The physical characteristics of papers produced from sugarcane bagasse (general appearance, texture, color, general acceptability) were rated with score ranging from 1-5 (1, being the lowest and 5, being the highest). To or the control produced the best result. It garnered a mean score of 4.27 for general acceptability. It was followed by Treatment 1 with a mean score of 4.15 and treatment 2 having a 4.02 mean score for general acceptability. In general, it revealed that sugarcane bagasse can serve as an alternative to tree's cellulose fibers in papermaking process. Papers treated with caustic soda as a softening agent still produced papers with the best quality.
