The Recycled Wood Bark of Malunggay (Moringa Oleifera) as Handmade Paper

Introduction
Moringa Oleifera is common in the Philippines. It is called miracle vegetable. Its bark can be used as a handmade paper. The problem that connects in this project is what will be the texture, cost/value and acceptance by the consumer if recycled wood bark of Malunggay is used in making paper. The answer or hypothesis in the said problem is we think that if recycled wood bark of Malunggay is used in making paper, then its texture will be rough, It is cheap and it will be acceptable by the consumer. With this part the prime objective of this project is to enhance the knowledge and patience of the maker.

Review of Related Studies


Malunggay has so many fibers that can used as handmade paper. Malunggay, known scientifically by its botanical name Moringa Oleifera Lank (also called kamunggay by Visayans and marunggay by Ilocanos), is a veritable miracle tree in the Philippines and in all tropics. It is so rich in nutrients that its image is used as the official logo of the Food and Nutrient Research Industry (FNRI) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). It has so many fibers that is applicable in making paper.

Many findings from our earlier research that is relevant to our problem. Not only Malunggay can be used as a material in paper making. Aside from it, paper tree, bangkal and Bermuda grass can be used also in paper making. Definitions of Terms 1. veritable real, genuine, authentic 2. tropics one of two imaginary circles around the earth 3. miracle supernatural occurrence 4. fiber threadlike part of organic tissue, plant or animal.
2 Methodology A. How to Make Materials: Raw Materials: 500 grams of dried malunggay bark 50 grams chlorine 100 grams caustic soda Other Materials: 2 grams Venus Dye Mold and Deckle Silk Screen Cloth or Net Bag Weighing Scale Mortar and Scale Procedure: The barks of Malunggay stems are removed. The outer skin was scraped off and bark was stripped off from the inner wood. Then the barks were sun-dried. The materials were first prepared before the experiment. The dried barks were boiled in caustic soda and water for 2-3 hours. Then the barks were washed to remove chemicals. They were

then pounded to produce wood pulp. 3 The pulp produced in the process was bleached using chlorine. After bleaching, it was washed to remove chemicals. The wood pulp was soaked in water for 5-15 minutes to make it whiter. Then the wood pulp was boiled in dye and water for about 15 minutes. The dyed wood pulp can now be molded. Using the mold and deckle, the wood pulp mixed with water was molded. To dry the pulp, place it on an even wall or screen to let it dry. When the pulp has already dried, strip off the paper from the wall. The paper produced. B. How to Test After, producing the paper out of the Malunggay Bark, the researchers will ask somebody to rate the tear strength, texture and acceptance of the paper.

March April 2005, page 17) 7 Investigatory Project Proposal 1. a. The Recycled Wood Bark of Malunggay as Handmade Paper. b. It is meant to solve a problem and to produce a new product. Because to test what is the products to get from the Malunggay Bark. c. What will be the texture, cost/value and acceptance of the consumer of paper if recycled wood bark of Malunggay is used in making it? 2. a. The description of Malunggay. (Health & home. March April 2005, page 17) b. Malunggay as handmade paper. Malunggay is can be use also as a tea, oil and food. c. Malunggay is not only a source of a handmade paper. Many other things also to make a handmade paper like, Bermuda grass, paper tree and many more. 3. a.----------------------------b. We think that if recycled wood bark of Malunggay is used in making paper, then its texture will be rough, it is cheap and it will be acceptable in the consumer. 8 4. a. ----------------------------b. We should asked somebody to rate the tear strength, texture and acceptance of the paper. 5. a. By the use of the table of the ratings that my other classmates answered. b. By listing down their comments and ratings with our experiment. 6. The texture of the paper out of Malunggay bark is rough. It is acceptable in the market and it will be cheap if sold because the materials are not expensive. 7.

Yes it has relevance on life. Many people are looking for the best quality of paper that has a low price. 9 Summary We ask somebody to rate our paper. Then we ask one person to rate, the texture, tear strength and the acceptance of the paper.
