The research study entitled "Leftover Rice as an Ingredient in Recycling Paper" was conducted at Tejeros Convention Rosario, Cavite. Generally, this study aimed to find if it is possible to use leftover rice as an ingredient in recycling paper. Specifically, this study aimed to determine the significant difference between commercial recycled paper and leftover rice paper in terms of color, texture, compactness, writability, durability, and general acceptability.

This study used the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), the statistical treatment used was ANOVA to find the significant difference between the normal recycled paper and recycled paper out of leftover rice. Descriptive analysis was used to compute for the general acceptability.

Leftover rice was gathered at CvSU - Rosario Canteen and were reduce to powder by pounding the blended and mixed with paper according to the following treatments: TO100% paper, T150% paper+ 50% leftover rice, T2-75% paper+ 25% leftover rice, T3 25% paper + 75% leftover rice. Then it was spread flat on an old cloth and sundried for a day. It was removed from the cloth prior to the evaluation. The color, texture, compactness, writability, durability and general acceptability was tested and analyzed.

Results showed that the three treatments and the commercial recycled paper have a significant difference in terms of color, texture, compactness, writability and durability. The results of ANOVA were greater than the tabular value at 0.05 level (P<0.05). The general acceptability of the recycled paper was determined through descriptive analysis. With mean score of 3.9305, T1 ranks first as acceptable, followed by TO and T2 as acceptable also, and T3 as moderately acceptable. The results show that leftover rice can be used as an ingredient in recycling paper.
