Abstract: MATILLA, GARRY M., TIGLAO, BEVERLY JEAN G.. Applied Research Ill, Laboratory School, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 2004 entitled; “Production of Rope from Pineapple (Ananas comosus) Leaves.” Adviser: Ms. Miriam C. Du Prof. Dulce Ramos The study entitled “Production of Rope from Pineapple (Ananas comosus) Leaves” was conducted in order to determine the possibility of producing rope from two varieties of pineapple. Two varieties (Hawaiian and Native variety) of pineapple were used to extract fibers. They were compared in terms of color, texture, general acceptability, percent dry weight and tensile strength. Their tensile strengths were compared to abaca fibers. It was observed that T was whiter than Tz. Both treatments were smooth in terms of texture. T2is stronger than T; with a tensile strength of 14.14 kg.f/g-m and 12.76 kg.f/g-m, respectively. The percent dry weight of the two treatments were almost the same (T1= 0.50 %; T2= 0.49%). The produced rope cannot be used for large-scale purposes because of their weak tensile strength. However, they can be utilized as raw materials for handicrafts; and other decoration purposes.

The study entitled “Production of Rope from Pineapple (Ananas comosus) Leaves” was conducted in order to determine the possibility of producing rope from two varieties of pineapple.

Two varieties (Hawaiian and Native variety) of pineapple were used to extract fibers. They were compared in terms of color, texture, general acceptability, percent dry weight and tensile strength. Their tensile strengths were compared to abaca fibers.

It was observed that T was whiter than Tz. Both treatments were smooth in terms of texture. T2is stronger than T; with a tensile strength of 14.14 kg.f/g-m and 12.76 kg.f/g-m, respectively. The percent dry weight of the two treatments were almost the same (T1= 0.50 %; T2= 0.49%).

The produced rope cannot be used for large-scale purposes because of their weak tensile strength. However, they can be utilized as raw materials for handicrafts; and other decoration purposes.
