3. I. BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY

4. Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) or
popularly known as “tubo” here in the
Philippines, refers to any of tall
perennial grasses of the family
Gramineae (grass family). Native to
warm temperate to tropical regions of
Asia, they have stout, jointed, fibrous
stalks that are rich in sugar, and
measure two to six meters tall.

6. Nowadays, sugarcane pulp (bagasse) is
somehow being thrown away as a waste in
the food-making process. With this, the
researchers aim to solve this problem by
conducting a research on a possible use of the
“wasted” material. The researchers plan to
use the sugar cane pulp in the paper-making
process to maximize the use of it. The
researchers also aim to reduce waste
disposed by using the pulp in the practical
paper-making process.
