(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2009-03) Guinatang, Charin L.
The study was conducted specifically to: (1) determine the level of acceptability of sericulture products and by-products in terms of texture, color, design, price and general acceptability, and (2) determine the factors affecting the acceptability of the products. The five products which were subjected to evaluation were sablay. leis, token, flowerette, and single flower. The data, which were drawn from forty (40) respondents, were statistically analysed using the measures of central tendency statistical tools such as frequency count, average and weighted mean. In determining the significant factors that affect the acceptability of the products, Spearman’s Rank Correlation and Regression Analysis were employed. The findings revealed that the acceptability of lies, token and single flower sericulture by-products were extremely acceptable while sablay had moderate level of acceptability. Comparing the products, flowerette had the highest while sablay had the lowest level of acceptability. Among the factors namely: age, sex, and civil status, only sex and age were found out to have the significant influence on the acceptability of the product.
