Abstract: BATAC, JENNIELYN P., GARCIA, MARICAR JULIE V., JUMAGBAS, LAREN MAE V., Applied Research III, Laboratory School, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, March 2001. “PREPARATION OF HANDMADE PAPER FROM WATER LILY.” Adviser: Mrs. Elma Alcantara The study entitled, “Preparation of Handmade Paper from Water lily”, was conducted in order to utilize water lily as a raw material for the production of paper. Specifically, the study aimed to: a) produce a quality paper for special purposes; and b) to determine which treatment produced a better quality of paper from water lily. The paper making process was conducted in a paper factory in Carasuchi, Indang, Cavite from May to August 2000. The stalks of water lily were subjected to three treatments, each of which was replicated three times. To soften the fibers, chemicals used were as follows: T1, 100% caustic soda,; T2, 50% baking soda and 50% caustic soda; and T3, 100% baking soda. One kilogram of the stalks of water lily was used for each treatment and replication. The sensory evaluation of papers was conducted in October, 2000. A panel of twenty judges was selected from the fourth year students of the Laboratory School of Cavite State University. The physical characteristics of papers produced from water lily (general appearance, texture, color, general acceptability, and tensile strength) were rated with score ranging from 1-5 (1, being the lowest and 5, being the highest). T3 (100% baking soda) produced the best result. It garnered a mean score of 3.83 for general acceptability. It was followed by T1 with a mean score of 3.40 and T2 having a mean score of 3.27 for general acceptability. In general, it revealed that water lily can serve as an alternative to tree’s cellulose fibers in the papermaking process. Papers treated with baking soda as a softening agent produced paper with the best quality.
