Abstract: OREASIL, ANNE MAE E., PERLADO, MA. LISETTE P. and THEA MARIE P. PONCIANO, Applied Research Ill (General Science Curriculum), Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 2004, "UTILIZATION OF LOOFAH IN THE MANUFACTURE OF FLOWER VASES." Adviser: Engr. Rene Marasigan The study was conducted to utilize rejected loofah in the manufacture of flower vases. Specifically, it aimed to: (a) determine which proportion of loofah and clay would give the best quality of flower vases; (b) compare the quality of the flower vases made up of clay and loofah with that of to the commercial vases; and (c) analyze the cost flower vases from each treatment. The study was conducted at Monica's Pottery, Palahanan, San Juan, Batangas from September to October 2003. The proportions used in the study were 100% clay soil (To), 90% clay soil and 10% loofah (Tl); 85% clay soil and 15% loofah (T2); and 80% clay soil and 20% loofah (T3). Each treatment was replicated four times. The effects of these treatments were compared with those of the control treatment (To). The samples of flower vases were presented to 20 judges for evaluation. The general appearance, texture, and general acceptability of the samples had highly significant differences because the increasing proportion of loofah to clay soil affected the attributes. However, non-significant results were obtained from maximum load and compressive strength of the flower vases. The study proved that pure clay is still the best material for flower vases but Treatment I (90% clay soil and 10% loofah) can also be utilized. In terms of economic feasibility, Treatment 3 (80% clay soil and 20% loofah) obtained the lowest cost of production of only Php 23.40. Considering the benefit that the loofah manufacturers would receive if the rejected parts of loofah were to be bought, Treatment 3 still obtained the lowest cost of production of only Php 24.00.
