A.Background of the study
Our nature , our place of living our life – the Earth, is fully affected by changing
technologies , factories and other industrialized plants. The discharged chemicals from
a vast number of factories on our river and other water phases was continously
destroyed and damaged, all the chemicals contributes majorly for the destruction of our
water phases- the Aquatic living things died because of the harmful properties of a
chemical.
This study aims to produce an eco-friendly dishwashing liquid. It emphasizes to
help the world problem- the water pollution. Nowadays, people often used branded
dishwashing liquid or detergent bar in washing plates but they don’t know the
consequences in using it.
In this wide search, the researchers found that there is a key to the problem –
water pollution which may be found in Banana Peelings.

B. Statement Of The Problem
This project generally endeavors to manufacture a high quality substitute for the
commercial dishwashing liquid from banana peelings and perform physical analyses to
test its cleaning properties through comparative analyses.
Specifically, this project endeavor to:
1.Control the water pollution.
2. Determine the Feasibility of Banana peelings as an alternative or substitute for
the commercial dishwashing liquid
3. Assess the banana peelings dishwashing liquid and commercial dishwashing
liquid in terms of its odor, cleaning agents and the effectiveness in greasiness and
oiliness of an individual plate.
Formulation of Hypothesis
1. Banana Peelings dishwashing liquid can be a good substitute for commercial
dishwashing liquid with it same properties like odor, cleaning properties and
effectiveness to greasiness and oiliness.
2. Banana Peelings dishwashing liquid can be an efficient bacterial killer.
3. Banana Peelings dishwashing liquid is cheaper and easy to make that the
commercial dishwashing liquid.
Definition of Terms
a.PEELINGS-skin or covering of anything. Can define as parings, shavings, barks,
husks, wrapping, shells or crusts.
b.DISHWASHING LIQUID-from the root word dish and wash , a thing used to wash a
dish usually liquid.
c.GREASINESS- can define as fatty, slippery and slimy. A dirt usually from a plate.

d.OILINESS- can define as the texture of athing and a dirt from fatty foods.
e.FEASIBILITY-can be defined as viability, possibility, practicability or achievability.
Review of Related Literature
Banana- Musa sapientum or Banana is one the most widely recognized and
consumed fruits in the world. They are considered valuable both for their nutritional
qualities as well as their economic qualities, and they come in a variety of colors, flavors
and sizes. Not only the banana fruit is useful, but also its skin. Banana skins are
composed of nutritional, non nutritional contents and minerals. Banana peels have
become a supply of nutrients for animal feedstock and a fertilizer.
Banana peels have special cleaning properties that make them a tremendous
environmentally friendly cleaning product. The fibrous part (cellulose) of banana peel is
one of its cleaning properties. It helps clean walls and other materials. The moist peel of
a fresh banana contains many useful cleaning enzymes and organic cleaning chemicals
that are not only effective, but are safe for the environment. One nice thing about
banana peels is that they give a fresh, pleasurable scent to your home. Banana peels
are also recyclable, which makes them completely risk-free to the environment
Washing Soda- (also known as washing soda, soda ash and soda crystals),
Na2CO3 is a sodium salt of carbonic acid. It most commonly occurs as
a crystalline heptahydrate, which readily effloresces to form a white powder, the
monohydrate. Sodium carbonate is domestically well known for its everyday use as
a water softener. It can be extracted from the ashes of many plants.
Polyethylene Glycol- PEG is the basis of many skin
creams (as cetomacrogol) and personal lubricants (frequently combined with glycerin).
PEG is used in a number of toothpastes as a dispersant. In this application, it binds
water and helps keep xanthan gum uniformly distributed throughout the toothpaste.
PEG is also under investigation for use in body armor, and in tattoos to
monitor diabetes.
PEG is also one of the main ingredients in paintball fills, due to its thickness and
flexibility. However, as early as 2006, some Paintball manufacturers began substituting
cheaper oil-based alternatives for PEG.

Rime- Rime ice, ice that forms when water droplets in fog freeze to the outer surfaces of
objects, such as trees.
Mortar and Pestle- Mortar and pestle are implements used since ancient times to prepare
ingredients or substances by crushing and grinding them into a fine paste or powder in the kitchen,
laboratory, and pharmacy. The mortar (/ˈmɔːrtər/) is a bowl, typically made of hard wood, metal,
ceramic, or hard stone, such as granite.
Endeavors- is a non-profit organization that provides programs and services towards community,
disaster relief, employment, housing, mental health, and veteran family services in the United States.
Gastrointestinal Disease- refer to diseases involving the gastrointestinal tract, namely the
oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum, and the accessory organs of
digestion, the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
Feedstock- in minimally processed or unprocessed in states; ey.g., raw latex, crude oil, cotton, coal,
raw biomass, iron ore, air, logs, or water i.e. "any product of agriculture, forestry, fishing and any
other mineral that is in its natural form or which has undergone the transformation required to
prepare it for internationally marketing in substantial volumes.
Tremendous- was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 30 October
1784 at Deptford.
Cellulose- is an organic compound with the formula (C6H10O5)n, a polysaccharide consisting of a
linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of β(1→4) linked D-glucose units.
Crystalline- is a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged
in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.
Heptahydrate- is a substance that contains water or its constituent elements. The chemical state of
the water varies widely between different classes of hydrates, some of which were so labeled before
their chemical structure was understood.
Efflorescenes- is the migration of a salt to the surface of a porous material, where it forms a coating.
The essential process involves the dissolving of an internally held salt in water, or occasionally in
another solvent. The water, with the salt now held in solution, migrates to the surface, then
evaporates, leaving a coating of the salt.
Monohydrate- is a substance that contains water or its constituent elements. The chemical state of
the water varies widely between different classes of hydrates, some of which were so labeled before
their chemical structure was understood.
Polyethylene glycol- is a polyether compound with many applications, from industrial manufacturing
to medicine.
