The first air freshener was invented by Canadian-born chemist Julius Samann called the Little Trees air freshener in 1952 in a small city called Watertown in Northern New York State. The idea came about when a milk truck driver complained to him about the smell of spilled milk. Tapping into his experience extracting essential oils from Canada’s evergreen trees, Samann designed a very effective air freshener specifically for the car. Two years later, in 1954, Samann filed a patent for paper impregnated with “odor-destroying, air- perfuming substances,” a cellophane wrapper and a string to hang it on. He gave the product the distinctive tree Materials and Procedure first set and they would provide a rating like the previous set. The researcher utilized the following ingredients: orange extract (450 mL), water (750 mL) baking soda (600 g), oil (15 mL) and materials: bowl, ladle, frying pan, gas stove and empty container
To create the air freshener, first,
put the orange extract (50 mL) in the bowl together with water (250 mL) and baking soda (200 g) and mix using the ladle. Next, put the frying pan in the gas stove with low heat and pour the oil (5 mL).Once the oil is already heat, pour the mixture in the frying pan. Wait for 20 minutes then turn off the stove. Letting it to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes then place it in the empty container. Repeat steps for the second mixture with 150 mL of orange extract, 250 mL of water and 200 g of baking soda. Lastly for the third mixture with 250 mL of orange extract, 250 mL of water and 200 g of baking soda.
Procedure on how to test the
product:
To test the effectivity, the
researchers will prepare three sets of experiments. The assessors will first present sample A which will contain a dried fish and it will be sprayed with the product that contains 50 mL, Sample B will contain a dried fish and it will be sprayed with the product that contains 150 mL of orange extract and Sample C will contain a dried fish and it will be sprayed with the product that contains 250 mL of orange extract. The assessor would give the intensity of each odor sample a rate between “Intense, Moderately Intense and Not Intense”. The assessor would then present the different set of odor sample. The first sample will contain a commercial product and the second sample will contain the most effective sample in the References Fresheners: https://www.womensvoices.org/2 017/08/10/recommended-read- ten-questions-concerning-air- fresheners/ References Gandhi, U.
