Horse manure as a substitute for wood charcoal<br />

Dante del Rosario, Andrew Fañega, Farley Aguila, Raymond Santiago, Carlos<br />

Espiritu<br />

ABSTRACT<br />

The <strong>study</strong> aimed at the technical feasibility <strong>of</strong> producing charcoal <strong>from</strong><br />

horse manure using locally available binder-corn starch. Briquettes with<br />

cornstarch mixture binder had higher crushing strength compared to<br />

briquettes can then be made into charcoal by simply drying the materials to<br />

constant weight. The amount <strong>of</strong> heat emitted per volume results indicated<br />

that the production <strong>of</strong> charcoal briquettes <strong>from</strong> horse manure is feasible using<br />

cornstarch. But the heating capacity <strong>of</strong> pure manure is greater than the<br />

heating capacity <strong>of</strong> the manure with cornstarch as binder. The product can<br />

only be used as a source <strong>of</strong> energy for incubators.<br />

Improving the quality <strong>of</strong> cheese made <strong>from</strong> mixed mold<br />

rennet extracts<br />

Jr, Lynn Redoble<br />

ABSTRACT<br />

Mold extracts <strong>from</strong> Aspergillus niger (strain 3704) cultured in potato<br />

dextrose agar (PDA) and Czapek-dox agar (CDA); and Rhizopus oryzae (strain<br />

3356) cultured in rice bran (RB) and copra meal (CM) were combined in five<br />

different ratios, producing 16 combinations <strong>of</strong> mixed mold rennet extract.<br />

These 16 combinations were reduced to two best combinations for<br />

cheesemaking based on milk clotting activity (MCA) milk clotting time (MCT)<br />

and percentage yield, namely: 5.0 Cm : 5.0 CDA and 5.0 CM : 5.0 PDA.<br />

Cost analysis showed that the experimental samples at P14.64/100 g<br />

and 13.74/100 g (treatments with and without lactic acid, respectively were<br />

more expensive than the control at 8.00/100g. However, with the use <strong>of</strong><br />

carabao’s milk, costs may be substantially reduced.<br />

Addition <strong>of</strong> lactic acid <strong>from</strong> Streptococcus sp. showed no effects on<br />

shelf life and did not significantly affect the percentage yield. Furthermore,<br />

there was no recognizable trend in terms <strong>of</strong> crude protein and fat content, but<br />

the general acceptability <strong>of</strong> cheese made <strong>from</strong> mixed mold rennet extracts<br />

was improved.<br />

The Wilcoxon’s signed-rank test showed that the most acceptable<br />

proportion for cheesemaking is 5.0 CM: 5.0 CDA with lactic acid. Its crude fat<br />

content (9.42%) ranked highest among the experimental samples and only
