CarSU celebrates another feat after securing its 7th patent for the homegrown sago starch extracting device, granted on July 11 by the Intellectual Property Philippines, attesting to its drive for innovation.
The device extracts starch from the sago fiber through a rotating mechanism held in a cylinder with water added to loosen the starch from the fibers. It can process up to 160.72 kg of sago per hour and can aid users with its efficiency at 96.3%.
Engr. Anamarie P. Sajonia, Engr. Aljon E. Bocobo, and Engr. Juliet Maureal invented the device registered under CSU as the proprietor and represented by Dr. Jeffrey T. Dellosa, VP for Research, Development, Innovation, and Extension, as the agent.
This feat solidifies the university’s position as a hub for innovation that addresses community needs and problems, which is relevant to CSU’s contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals No. 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) and No. 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
