Development of oyster (Ostreidae) shells as chalk
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2023-05) Lacuata, Shaira Jane F.; Gatchallan, Sherilly G.; Peralta, Hanna Sophia C.; Rimpillo, Ronalyn R.; Gacayan, Daniel B.; Bayani, Keneth G.; Javonitalla, Josephine G.; Hufana, Zhelyn A.; Quinitip, Tiffany Ruth R.
Oyster shell is a type of sea shell that has naturally occurring component of calcium carbonate, that is primarily used in making chalk. This study aimed to: standardize the formulation and process, determine the junctional attributes, microstructural qualities, and production cost of developed oyster shell chalk. The research design used were: Researchers used experimental method for the standardized formulation of oyster shells as chalk, in which researchers performed six different trials, and a descriptive study design is used for functional attributes of the oyster shell chalk for median computation. Treatment 2 has the highest median while Treatment 1 has the lowest median. The oyster shell chalk has a mean breaking strength of 10.3 N (load of 1.05 kg) and standard deviation of 2.84 N (load of 0.290 kg), ranges 11 mm in diameter and 84.1 mm long. The total production cost is comparable with the leading brands.
Development of cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica) paper bag
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2023-05) Garcia, Lyntel Lehnee M.; Martinez, Lynnie E.; Bayani, Keneth G.; Gacayan, Daniel B.; Hufana, Zhelyn A.; Quinitip, Tiffany Ruth R.
Cogon grass paper bag incorporated with a corrugated box scraps is a new variant of sustainable gift bag. This study aimed to develop a cogon-based paper bag to meet the challenges of waste management disposal, invasive plants, and unemployment problem in the society. This study sought to standardized the process and formulation, determine the sensory qualities, mechanical properties, and production cost of the product. This study used developmental, descriptive, and experimental research design methods. The findings of the study showed that treatment 6 was the best treatment and has a desirable attribute based on sensory evaluation from trained and consumer-type panelists. The mechanical properties were assessed by DOST- FPRDI, and it was considered as light-weight to medium-weight gift paper bags with the following properties: 59.577-98.402 g/m2, 0.257 mm thickness, 17.396 N.m/g tensile index, and 19.604 water absorptiveness, and the total production cost was comparable with the commercial wood-based paper bag.
