Abstract: AQUINO, SHARLET KATE H., PARAYNO, GUIA ROHMELLA G., SIMBULAN,JOHN JASON P. Production of Biodegradable Plastic from Bangus fish scales. Research Study (General Science Curriculum) Science High School, College of Education, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2014. Adviser: Prof. Dulce L. Ramos. This study was conducted from October 2013 to January 2014 at 137 Kayquit Hl, Indang, Cavite to produce bioplastics made from Bangus (Chanos chanos) fish scales. The purpose of the study was to: (1) determine the physical properties of the bioplastics produced from Bangus fish scales in terms of the following parameters: texture, color, transparency, porosity, and biodegradability; (2) determine the level of acceptability of the produced bioplastic; and (3) determine which treatment will produce the best bioplastic. The Bangus fish scales were gathered from the wet market of Indang, Cavite. The materials such as water, vinegar, adhesive glue, and vegetable oil were provided by the researchers. Glycerin was bought in Mercury Drugstore in Trece Martires City, Cavite. Bangus fish scales were washed using warm water and were placed in a safe plastic container. Sun drying of fish scales was done by letting the fish scales dry from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM everyday for one whole week. Dried Bangus fish scales were pounded and pulverised using a household grinder or improvised grinder. Water, vegetable oil, adhesive glue, vinegar, ground Bangus fish scales, and glycerine, were prepared according to specific treatments using a weighing scale then placed into a bowl, stirred vigorously until the ingredients turned to glue — like mixture. The resulting mixture was placed and spread evenly on an aluminum foil using a spatula. It was placed inside the house at room temperature for two days for the cooling and hardening process. Results showed that Treatment 1, with 15 grams of Bangus fish scales, produced the best biodegradable plastic: non-porous, smooth texture, light brown color, and moderately transparent, which degraded quickly for eight days. Amount of Bangus fish scales used in each treatment significantly affected the quality of the produced biodegradable plastic. The produced biodegradable plastic is acceptable in terms of physical and sensory properties after been evaluated.
