CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

As stated by Myles et al. (2011), grapes (vitis vinifera) is one of the earliest

domesticated fruit crops and, since antiquity, it has been widely cultivated and prized for

its fruit and wine. Grapes (Vitis vinifera) also contain vitamins B and A. It is also high in

antioxidants, such as flavonoids and myricetin. Quach (2017) mentioned that Flavonoids

and myricetin contain phenolic substances from a wide range of vascular plants, with

over 8000 individual compounds known that these are antioxidants, antimicrobials, for

light screening, photoreceptors, visual attractors, and feeding repellants. The physical

property has been studied by Xia et al. (2010) in grape (Vitis vinifera) seed extracts

whose compounds are capable of scavenging Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and

inhibiting lipid oxidation compared the antioxidant capacity of grape (Vitis vinifera) and

its by-products, including leaves, skin, wine, and seeds. The highest antioxidant capacity,

measured by oxygen radical absorbance capacity assay, was found in grape (Vitis

vinifera) seeds. Tartaric is the principal acid in fewer fruits than citric and malic acid and

the main acid in grapes (Vitis vinifera) which also contain malic acid. Red grapes (Vitis

vinifera) have higher levels of tartaric acid. In food, malic acid may be used to acidify or

flavor foods or prevent food discoloration.

As reported by Augustyn (2018), soy beans (Glycine max) is one of the major

beans in the world, because it can give ingredients for many chemical products. It also

LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY CAVITE

provides vegetable protein for a lot of people. In accordance with Mateljan (2017), the

component of soy beans (Glycine max) is that it includes phenolic acids, flavonoids,

isoflavonoids, phytoalexins, and saponins. Among of these components, saponins are the

most important component that can be used in cleaning or removing stains. As stated by

Victoria (2013), saponins has a chemical compound whose structure and surfactant that is

alike in soap, so it can be used as cleaning agents. Also, saponins allow stain and grease

to be encompassing by water molecules that result in removing stains. However, saponins

is not just for removing stains, it also makes the white clothes even whiter and have a

good ability for preservation of colors for colored clothes.

Most people want their clothes to look neat and presentable everywhere they go.

The sad part is that stains cannot be avoided because it may happen accidentally,

anywhere you go or whatever you do. There are stains that can simply be removed and

there are strong stains that require certain kind of cleaning agent for it to be removed. As

the years went by, scientists discovered and made cleaning products like laundry

detergents, soaps and bleaches that emerged in the market which have been useful and

convenient to in washing the dirt on clothes. After these products have been brought up in

the industry, a lot of manufacturers are producing and developing the same output until

now that has a lot of chemical that can damage the cloth or if not properly used and

disposed it can be detrimental to the environment. These products are highly in demand

to the consumers which plays an important part in our washing activities. Due to the

constant inflating rate that our country is experiencing, the price of these products is also

increasing. This caused the researchers to find an alternative solution which is more

LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY CAVITE

convenient in removing stains.

There are number of researches that turned out to be effective in removing stains

instead of using bleach products by making use of organic plants within the community.

Commonly fruits contain with citric acid are known to have an active bleaching agent in

washing white clothes, such as lemon, lime, orange and tangerine, which are now

practicing by some people. Aside from the citric acid, soy beans (Glycine max) and

grapes (Vitis vinifera) are also a good alternative source of a cleaning agent. The

researchers are going to use soy beans (Glycine max) and grapes (Vitis vinifera) in the

study in determining the effectiveness of it on white clothes as a stain remover.

Statement of the Problem

1. What is the effectiveness of the extracts of soy beans (Glycine max) and Grapes

(Vitis vinifera) that helps clothes in removing rusty stains based on:

A. Degree of Whiteness

B. Amount of extract

2. How convenient is Soy beans (Glycine max) and Grapes (Vitis vinifera) in

Theoretical Framework

The researchers adapted Peter Wainman’s (2016) theory about pineapple based

which is suitable for the study that we are conducting. It took about two years before

Wainman and his team found the right fruit - the pineapple – and successfully developed

a fermentation process that yields natural organic acids, natural enzymes and

biosurfactants, which are the substances which break down dirt and stains. During the

development process, the company added drops of the pineapple-derived cleaning

products into a tank of aquatic plants and found no harmful impact on the plants. In

comparison, when the same number of drops of chemical cleaning products was added to

another tank of aquatic plants, the aquatic plants died after four days.

During the research and development process, the team had used a device to

measure the intensity of stains on fabrics before and after they were washed with the

pineapple-derived detergent. They found that Pipper Standard’s products clean as well as

- or better than - the chemical varieties.

The relation between this theory to our study is that it targets the people who
5

LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY CAVITE

wants to use organic or fruits as the alternative source of cleaning agents and it is

beneficial to the environment which is also one of the objectives of our study (Lim, C.

2016).

amount of extracts that will be used in order to achieve the contents of the researchers’

alternative cleaning agent to remove stain. The researchers will also put the concentration

and find how convenient these alternative cleaning agents is. Second, the process that

researcher used for the actual data involved experimentation and observation. Lastly, the

output derived from the data gathered and interpreted from the result of the experiment.

The researchers showed the effectiveness of two different organic cleaning, soy beans

(Glycine max) and grapes (Vitis vinifera), as cleaning agent for rusty stains.

Hypothesis

The following is hypothesized by the researchers regarding the effectiveness of

soy beans (Glycine max) and grapes (Vitis vinifera) as a remover of rusty stains in white

clothes:

 If soy beans (Glycine max) and grapes (Vitis vinifera) will be used as remover of

rusty stains in clothes and it will affect it in positive manner, then using soy beans

(glycine max) or grapes (Vitis vinifera) can remove rusty stains in white clothes.

 If soy beans (Glycine max) and grapes (Vitis vinifera) will be used as remover of

rusty stains in clothes and it will affect it in negative manner, then using soy beans

(Glycine max) or grapes (Vitis vinifera) cannot remove rusty stains in white

clothes.

Scope and Limitation

This research focused on the effectiveness of soy beans (Glycine max) and Grapes

7

(Vitis vinifera) for removing rusty stains in white clothes. The two organic ingredients

were used soy beans (Glycine max) and grapes (Vitis vinifera). Additionally, this study is

to experiment and observe the alternative and organic ways to remove rusty stains in

clothes. In order to determine which organic stain remover is the best, we the researchers

will observe the degree of whiteness of the clothes at the end of the study and how much

extract of soy beans (Glycine max) and grapes (Vitis vinifera) is used to remove rusty

stains. The time of application and number of brushes will also be observed by the

researchers to determine how convenient soy beans (Glycine max) and grapes (Vitis

vinifera). The experiment and observation will be held in #107 Lumampong, Balagbag

Indang, Cavite.

This study will provide information and ideas that help the future researchers to

finish other study.

CHAPTER II

LITERATURE REVIEW

This chapter presents a review of relevant literature, studies and concepts essential

to the development of the conceptual framework and the direction of the study.

Related Literature

On the basis of (Augustyn, 2018) Soy beans (Glycine max), can be also

called soja bean or soya bean. Moreover, it is one of the abundant and reasonable sources

of protein. In East Asia, the soybean (Glycine max) is commonly used when it comes in

the forms of soy milk, a whitish fluid suspension, and tofu, a curd that is somewhat look

like a cottage cheese. As explained by (Stowe, 2014) soy beans (Glycine max) were first

cultivated around 1100 BC by the Chinese farmers and it was originated in Southeast

Asia. Soy bean (Glycine max) seed from China was scattered by a colonist in the British

colony of Georgia in 1765. In 1904, George Washington Carver, a well-known American

chemist, come upon that soy beans (Glycine max) are a beneficial source of protein and

oil.

In accordance to (The Soybean, It’s History, and It’s Opportunity, 2012) soy

beans (Glycine max) are the world’s leading supplier of vegetable protein and oil and is

generally called the “miracle crop”. The soy bean (Glycine max) plant that is bushy and

green in color is a legume connected to peas, groundnuts (peanuts) and alfalfa. Soy beans

(Glycine max), the world’s most adaptable major crops, can be grown in a broad

classification of soil and climatic state than any other major world crop. Hence, it is the

13
INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY CAVITE

most wide-ranging grown oilseed in the world.

In fact, as stated by with (Mateljan, 2017) the component of soy beans (Glycine

max) is that it includes phenolic acids, flavonoids, isoflavonoids, phytoalexins, and

saponins. Among of these components, saponins is the most important component that

can be used in cleaning or removing stains. However, as said by (Victoria, 2013)

saponins is not just for removing stains, it also makes the white clothes even whiter and

have a good ability for preservation of colors for colored clothes.

The most recent interest on grapes (Vitis vinifera) it has focused on the bioactive

phenolic compounds in grape, its products is associated with a lower incidence of

degenerative diseases such as cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancers. The

most important grape (Vitis vinifera) poplyphenols are anthocyanins, flavanols, flavonols

and resveratrol because they possess many biological activities, such as antioxidant,

cardioprotective, anticancer, anti-inflammation, antiaging and antimicrobial properties.

As explained by (Nakashima et al., 2007) Grapes (Vitis vinifera) have a long and

abundant history. In the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, grapes (Vitis vinifera)

were revered for their use in winemaking. There are three main species of grapes (Vitis

vinifera): it could be European grapes (Vitis vinifera), North American grapes (Vitis

labrusca and Vitis rotundifolia) and French hybrids. Grapes (Vitis vinifera) could be

classified as table grapes (Vitis vinifera), wine grapes (used in viniculture), raisin grapes

(Vitis vinifera), and so on, with edible seeds or seedless. People enjoy the various grape

(Vitis vinifera) products, such as fruit, raisins, juice and wine. (Garcia et al., 2008)

enunciated that grape (Vitis vinifera) fruit contains various nutrient elements, such as

14
INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY CAVITE

vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, edible fibers and phytochemicals. The most important

phytochemicals in grape (Vitis vinifera) is polyphenols because they possess many

biological activities and health-promoting benefits. Phenolic compounds of grapes (Vitis

vinifera) mainly include anthocyanins, flavanols, flavonols, stilbenes (resveratrol) and

phenolic acids.

Anthocyanins are pigments, and mainly exist in grape skins grape (Vitis vinifera)

skins consists pigment called Anthocyanins. Flavonoids are widely distributed in grapes

(Vitis vinifera), especially in seeds and stems, and principally contain (+)-catechins, (−)-

epicatechin and procyanidin polymers. Anthocyanins are the main polyphenolics in red

grapes (Vitis vinifera), while flavan-3-ols are more abundant in white varieties (Bonsi et

al., 2007).

Various parts of grapes (Vitis vinifera) exhibit phenolic compounds that has

different antimicrobial effects. Fruit grape (Vitis vinifera) extracts have the antimicrobial

activity of fermented pomace was either as effective as or significantly better. Some

researchers found that seed extracts were more effectively antimicrobial than other parts

of grapes (Vitis vinifera). The experimental study showed that the minimum inhibition

concentration (MICs) of seed and stem extracts for antilisterial were 0.26 and 0.34 mg

GAE/L, respectively. The extracts from whole grape (Vitis vinifera) fruit inhibited

bacterial growth at concentrations of 680 mg GAE/L and 1360 mg GAE/L for Gram (+)

and Gram (−) bacteria, respectively (Chacona et al., 2009).

Most roundish mark in clothes and stains can be removed by elicit attention and

correct laundry strategy. However, it will need some extra treatment. A cleaning agent is

15
INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY CAVITE

proficient in dissolving and dispersing another substance. The cleaners or degreasers is

considered as an organic cleaning agent if it restrains carbon as part of their molecular

structure. These substances can be found in countless products such as wax, fixative,

paints, cleaning agents, and adhesive. They are commonly used in the making of products

such as colorant, fabric, and plastics. For industrial processes, organic cleaning agent can

provide the safest option when water-soluble solutions will simply not work for it. It is

also important to know the dissimilarity between a natural organic agent and

environmentally or eco-friendly preferred agent. Natural cleaning agents contains all of

plant or animal procure ingredients. Whereas an environmentally preferred solvent

simply encounters all the criteria that is lined out by the Environmental Protection

Agency. In some cases, an “all-natural” organic solvent may not have adequate power to

provide the required cleaning results; however, some more powerful choices are

accessible through the producers to make sure that the industrial needs can be fulfilled

without creating significant harm to the environment (Mancuso, 2013).

The book of Margaret Furry entitled Stain removal from fabrics, listed the basic

remover for stains. Water without mixture of any chemicals can remove non-greasy

stains, Furry said that used cold water instead of hot water because it makes the stain set

and harder to remove. Use sponge or dry cloth to spread cold water and dry rapidly to

avoid water rings. Next remover of stain is water with alcohol, this helps in dissolving

acetate rayon and may change some colors. Another treatment is for greasy stains, other

solvents can be used such as carbon tetrachloride, stoddard solvent, gasoline, benzene,

turpentine, ether, acetone, or alcohol, these solvents may use to remove stains and clothes

16
INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY CAVITE

will not be differ in its color. Apply these solvents multiple times and leave it for a while

for best result of the fabric. Absorbent powders can be used as remover of stains such as

chalk, talcum, cornstarch and corn meal. These powders work on freshly made and light

stains for example greasy spots and spill of salad oil. This method includes sprinkling the

absorbent powder over the stain, repeat the process until the stain disappeared but this

method might be a fail sometimes depending on the size of stain. Another stain removal

stated in the book was bleaches, this can be use in uncolored clothes to avoid damaging

the colored clothes because bleaches remove the stains, but it also removes or changes

the color and weakens the fabric. Sodium perborate, Hydrogen peroxide, Oxalic Acid,

Hydrosulfites are the bleaches. Pepsin and other enzymes can also work to remove

stains. Albumin is component of blood, eggs, milk, ice creams. Glues, and gelatin which

are enzymes. Lastly, soaps and synthetic detergents are most commonly remover of

stains, there are classification of soaps and detergents according to its proper use for

example, Non-alkaline detergents have glycerine to decrease or remove stains made by

soft drinks and fresh fruits. Alkaline detergents are universal washing agents for heavy

fabrics. This study is included because Margaret Furry listed all the possible techniques

to remove stain which is the objective of the researcher’s study (p. 3-8).

Related studies

Herbal Extracts – Washing Agents for Colored Fabrics.

During ancient era, cleaning agent didn’t exist, so people back then used natural

ingredients from nature as their materials to clean. European Ivy (Hedera helix) that

17
INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY CAVITE

belongs to Araliceae group of plants and Soap nut shells (Sapindus mukorossi) belongs to

Sapindaceae family. Both European Ivy (Hedera helix) and Soap nut shells (Sapindus

mukorossi) contain bioactive compound that is Saponins that can be use as detergent for

wool and silk fabrics. They used European Ivy (Hedera helix) and Soap nut shells

(Sapindus mukorossi) for their experiment to produce a natural detergent and they tried to

wash colored clothes using those ingredients. The result of their study is that European

Ivy (Hedera helix) composed less amount of saponins (7.07%) than Soap nut shell

(Sapindus mukorossi), these two ingredients can be beneficial in washing colored clothes

(Dekanic, T et al., 2015). This is part of the researchers related study because Dekanic et

al., used two different ingredients that composed saponins which is the same with soy

beans (Glycine max) and they tested the effectiveness of these ingredients as detergent a

cleaning agent which is similar to the study.

International Journal of molecular science: Foam Properties and Detergent Abilities

of the Saponins from Camellia oleifera Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute

(MDPI)

A study was conducted by (Chen, Y et al., 2010) about Natural foam properties

and saponins detergent abilities of Camellia oeifera, a plant originated in China. The

study was an experiment to know if Camellia oeifera contains saponins and foam

properties to be considered as natural detergent. The defatted seed meal of the plant’s

saponin was 39.5 natural, Chen and his team extracted the defatted seed meal powder of

Camellia oeifera with boiling water three times to get the saponin content. The crude

18
INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY CAVITE

saponins that is extracted to Camellia oeifera has the potential result to be a naturally

effective detergent. This study is used by the researchers because the study of Chen, Y

tested the saponins of Camellia oeifera which is a component of the ingredients that the

researcher used soybeans (Glycine max). This is useful because it proves that organic

materials can be use as remover of stains.

Detergent Plants of Northern Thailand: Potential Sources of Natural Saponins

Northern Thailand have a lot of indigenous plants that can be use as detergent

because of their potential content of saponins. The study conducted by (Wisetkomolmat ,

J et al., 2018) listed plants that found in Northern Thailand that contained saponins and

classified it for their uses for example they listed Indian willow (Salix tetrasperma Roxb)

can be used as detergent and Luffa cylindrica a fruit that can also use as cleanser of

sponges. Soapbark, soapwort, soapnut, and soapberry are groups of detergent plant that

can be used as cleaning products such as shampoo, detergent and perfume because of

their saponin content. The study also suggested how to conserve those indigenous plants

to avoid extinction because of the overused of those plants to be commercial products.

This study of Jiratchaya Wisetkomlmat et., al is part of related studies in this research

because they discussed about organic cleaning agent that is found in Northern Thailand

which is similar to the study of the researchers, but they used soy beans (Glycine max)

and Grapes (Vitis vinifera) that contains saponins like the plants listed in Wisitkomlmat’s

study.

Stains are major nightmare in clothes and to other things. There are appropriate

ways to handle and remove different stains. An experiment was conducted by (Essays

19
INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY CAVITE

UK, November 2018), about the effectiveness of different citrus fruits as bleach and

removing stains. The experiments study’s main objective is to know which organic

bleaching agent was the best, they tested citrus fruits; lime, pineapple, lemon and navel

oranges. The result of their experiment said that those citrus fruit does remove some

stains but will depend on the type of stain. They said that citrus food works the best on

the fabric with vegetable-based stain without sodium chloride. The result of their

experiment is that lime was the best bleaching agent among lemon, pineapple and lime

but with different condition, temperature and type of stain. This study is useful to support

the researcher’s study because citrus fruits are acidic like the ingredient that is used for

the study which is grapes (Vitis vinifera), the experiment was to measure the effectivity

of these citrus fruits as stain remover.

Stain removal from fabrics

Margaret Furry listed some various method to remove iron rust stains in white

clothes. Two organic ingredients and two chemical based removers. Lemon juice an

organic ingredient, a citric fruit was listed squeeze lemon to get the juice and spread it to

the stain. Lemon method takes a lot of time, but it works the best because of its high level

of acid. Combination of lemon and salt will also work with the help of the sun to dry it. If

the stain is still evident add more lemon juice. Hydrosulfite a chemical based remover

can take off iron rust that can be bought in drug stores. Second organic ingredient is

Cream of tartar has a bit of potassium bitartrate, add four teaspoons of cream of tartar and

1 pint of water then apply it to white cloth. Oxalic acid was mentioned last this can be

used as bleach and remove rust stains .The main objective of the researcher’s is to

20
INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY CAVITE

remove rusty stains in clothes so this study that is written in Margaret Furry’s book

named Stain removal from fabrics listed methods and materials to remove rusty stains

which is similar to the study that is being conducted (Stain removal from fabrics, p. 20).

Eco Friendly Cleaning Products

To avoid significant harm to the environment you can use simple ingredients to

make your own household cleaners from scrape. There are four ingredients that can be

apply individually or in combination with each other. The first ingredient is vinegar and

apple cider vinegar (ACV). Both are great organic agent that help in eliminating

microbial contamination. You can also eliminate unwanted germs by using vinegar spray.

Also, when you combine vinegar with baking soda, it may help to lose any stuck waste in

the kitchen, as well as polish the kitchen and bathroom drains. Next, Baking soda. Baking

soda is a conventional natural deodorizer. Aside from that, it can also be used as a stain

remover, disinfectant, varnish, and a degreaser because it makes a great cleansing powder

due to its mild abrasive. That’s why it is safe to use on exquisite surfaces including

marble. Then, essential oils. Essential oils are greatly used in aromatherapy. There are

numerous essential oils that carry natural antibacterial properties with astonishing scents

to boot. You can make not only organic cleaners as well as air fresheners. There are

multiple scents and multiple uses of essential oils. Some of the well-known oils used for

cleaning are lavender, mint, and lemon. Last, the lemon. Lemons are also a natural

antiseptic and a surprising stain remover. There’s an explanation why so many household

cleaners are scented like lemon. The sweet smell of a lemon is just a part of the

21
INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY CAVITE

wholesomeness. All parts of the lemon are useful, the peel and the juices are used, and

you can use the zest either dry or fresh. The study is part of the researcher’s study

because it includes some organic cleaning agent like grapes and soybeans. The related

study mentioned the vinegar, baking soda, essential oils and lemon. Among of those four-

organic agents, lemon is the most related ingredient that can be compared to the

researcher’s study because it contains acid just like the grapes. Therefore, the related

study is useful to the researchers because it can prove that organic ingredients can remove

stains (Garcia, 2018).

Synthesis

From Augustyn (2018), Stowe (2014) to George Washington Carver, they talked

about soy beans (Glycine max) and its properties and benefits. They stated that soy beans

(Glycine max) originated in East Asia and extensively consumed in the forms of soy

milk, whitish liquid suspension and tofu. Soy beans (Glycine max) is beneficial source of

protein and oil. Soy bean (Glycine max) is beneficial due to its different components like

phenolic acids, flavonoids, isoflavoids, phythoalexins and Saponins. From Nakashima et

al., (2007) Garcia et al., (2008), Bonsi et al., (2007) to Chacona et al., (2009) discussed

the properties and background of the second alternative ingredient which is grapes (Vitis

vinifera). Nakashima et al., said that there are three main species of grapes (Vitis

vinifera): it could be European grapes (Vitis vinifera), North American grapes (Vitis

labrusca and Vitis rotundifolia) and French hybrids. Grapes (Vitis vinifera) could be

classified as table grapes (Vitis vinifera), wine grapes (used in viniculture), raisin grapes

(Vitis vinifera), and so on, with edible seeds or seedless. Some studies discussed the

effects of using organic cleaning agent and chemical based cleaning agent. According to

Manucso (2013), he mentioned that using chemical based cleaning agent is a treat to the

environment because the contain of this cleaning agent is harmful. Most of the related

studies is about alternative cleaning agent from Dekanik et al., Chen Y et al., Essays UK

to Margaret Furry suggested and discussed some organic alternatives to remove rusty

stains. Most of the ingredients used from their experiments and studies were fruits or

vegetables or plant that contains saponins and acid. Those contents are the reason why

stains get remove once you apply it. Dekanic et al., used European Ivy and Soap nut

shells to remove stain and it was effective Other studies talk about techniques on how to

properly remove stain using organic ingredients and chemical based cleaning agent. All

these studies and literature were accomplished to support this study however due to

knowledge gap the researchers of this literatures and studies, soy beans (Glycine max)

and Grapes (Vitis vinifera) has not been tested as cleaning agent if its effective or not.

Research Design

The objective of this study is to measure the effectivity of soy beans (Glycine

max) and grapes (Vitis vinifera) as remover of rusty stains in white clothes. The

researchers will use Quasi-Experimental Design for this study, experimental design will

be able to explain or provide information about causal relationships of the variables. This

will allow the researchers to evaluate correlation of one variable to another variable. In

quasi-experimental design independent variable will be manipulated and the participants

are not assigned randomly. The researchers will not randomly assign the participant

because of its lack control over extraneous variable (Campbell & Cook, 1979).

This study will utilize Quasi-experimental design because the researchers have

two variables to manipulate which is the organic cleaning agent using soy beans (Glycine

max) and grapes (Vitis vinifera), another variable is the inorganic variable which is

chemical based cleaning agent that will serve as the control variable in the study. The

independent variable is the white clothes with rusty stains. Time and amount of extract

will be observed in the treatments and the number of brushes will be the result of the

measurement.

Locale

The research locale of the study comprises of the places where the study took

place. The researchers will buy all the materials needed to accomplish the product at

Salitran Public Market, Dasmarinas Cavite because all the fresh vegetables and fruits are

24

being sold there. The actual experiment will be conducted at #107 Lumampong,

Balagbag Indang, Cavite which is one of the researcher’s house. The said place will be

chosen in conducting the study because the materials that is essential for the experiment

is complete in order to achieve the product. Also, the researchers are familiar by the place

and the house is comfortable because the size is enough to accommodate the researchers.

Sources of data

The researchers will use primary source and secondary sources to fulfill the study.

The primary source will be coming from the actual result of the experiment using soy

beans (Glycine max) and grapes (Vitis vinifera) to remove rusty stains. For the secondary

sources, related literature and studies from website articles and books will be used by the

researchers. Primary source and secondary sources will be the foundation of the study.

29
INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY CAVITE

Step 1: Proceed to the trials. The researchers will do five trials using the chemically based

cleaning agent.

Step 2: For trial number 1-3, the researchers will use 15 mL chemically based cleaning

agent to the white clothes with rust.

Step 3: For trial number 4, the researchers will use 20 mL of chemically based cleaning

agent to the white clothes with rust.

Step 4: For trial number 5, the researchers will use 25 mL of chemically based cleaning

agent to the white clothes with rust.

To get the concentration use in the trial we must divide the percent of the

concentration to 100 and multiply it to how much extract you will use.

For 50 % concentration and 3 different amounts of extracts (15mL, 20mL and 25

mL), 50 % in 15mL is 7.25mL, 50% in 20mL is 10mL and 50% in 25mL is 18.75mL.

For 75% concentration and 3 different amounts of extracts (15mL, 20mL and

25mL), 75% in 15mL is 11.25mL, 75% in 20Ml is 15mL and 75% in 25mL is 18.75Ml.

This concentration will all apply in Soy beans (Glycine max), Grapes (Vitis

vinifera) and combination of Soy beans (Glycine max) and Grapes (Vitis vinifera).

After doing all the steps and procedure the researchers will be able to identify if

the alternative cleaning agent is helpful or not. The clothes that have been applied by the

alternative cleaning agents will be compared to the white color scheme to determine the

30

level of whiteness after using the alternative cleaning agent.

Data Analysis

The experimental data of this study will be analyzed through the statistical

treatment called Two-way ANOVA. The two-way anova will help the researchers to

compare the mean differences between groups that have been split on two independent

variables. The two independent variables that will be used in the study are the amount of

extract and the time of application of the soy beans (Glycine max), grapes and

combination of soy beans (Glycine max) and grapes. The dependent variable will be the

rusty stains removed from the white clothes. Two-way ANOVA will be used to

determine if there is an interaction between the amount of extract and the time of

application of soybeans (Glycine max), grapes, and the combination of soybeans (Glycine

max) and grapes to each other and its effects to the white cloth that will be used.

After the researchers obtain the mean square, sum of squares and degree of

freedom of the amount of extract (15mL, 20 mL, 25 mL) and time of application (1 min,

2 mins, 3 mins) of soy beans (Glycine max), grapes, and the combination mixture of soy

beans (Glycine max) and grapes, the researchers will be required to compare the value of

the F computed in this analysis with the critical value of F in the F Table. Consequently,

the researchers will search for the critical value by using the degrees of freedom.

If the obtained F-value is less than the critical F-value, the researchers will not be

able to reject the null hypothesis that soy beans (Glycine max) and grapes can remove the

rusty stains in a white clothes and will conclude that there is no significant difference

between the soy beans (Glycine max), grapes, and the combination of soy beans (Glycine

max) and grapes in removing the rusty stain in the white clothes. If the alternative

hypothesis is accepted, further analysis is performed to explore where the individual

differences are.
