CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDY

The literature and studies cited in in this chapter tackle the different concept, understanding, idea,

generalization or conclusion and different development related to study from the past up to the present

which serves as the researchers guide in developing this study. Those that were also included in this

chapter helps in familiarizing information that are relevant and similar to the present study.

According to Hilliard (1973), one has only to watch television for a couple of hours or thumb through

a small number of magazines at the supermarket to realize that" Lemon is the color, the figure, the

resistless scent that cast a glow on this year's proceedings”. Not only is lemon a popular color for vesture,

but it is also used in home decoration. Latest uses of lemon oil and juice are included among the

ingredients of room deodorizers, furniture polish, dishwater detergent, shampoo, soap, candles, oven

cleanser, cologne, and even lemon flavored medicines. It is not known when man first began using the

assorted parts of the lemon tree because the beginning of the tree is lost in history. Some organization

believe it is a crossbreed of the lime and the citron. Others think the lemon tree is not a crossbred at all

but was first known in India as a different variety. The lemon was unknown to old Greeks and Romans;

however, it was known in Greece at the time of Theophrastus (c. 372 BC-c. 287 BC). The Roman poet,

Vergil (70 BC-19 BC), is said to have described the lemon as a" foreign fruit" which was not tamed in Italy

in his day. Lemon agriculture was introduced into Spain and Northern Africa by the Arabs between AD

1000 and AD 1200. From Spain its agriculture spread out to other parts of Europe. It was further

distributed by the Crusaders. By 1494, the fruit was being tamed in the Azores and was shipped largely to

England. And Columbus, on his second cruise to America, established a settlement at Isabella, Haiti, where

lemon seeds were planted, and the resulting trees flourished. Francis Bacon (1561-1626, the English

essayist and scientist who was also a contemporary of Shakespeare (1564-1616), knew both orange and
lemon trees, and, although England is warmed by the Gulf Stream, he recommended that both species

should be" hothoused" to insure their survival during the winter months. John Parkinson, a London

gardener who published his famous book, Farad isi in sole, Paradisus Terrestris in 1629, seems to have

known the lemon tree but was not successful in growing it (p. 584).

According to Nutrition Facts (n.d) sugar is the generic name for sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates,

many of which are used in food. The various types of sugar are derived from different sources. Simple

sugars are called monosaccharides and include glucose (also known as dextrose), fructose, and galactose.

Fructose, or “fruit sugar” makes it a good ingredient for car fresheners because its naturally found in fruit,

honey, agave and most root vegetables. Pure, dry fructose is a sweet, white oderless crystalline solid, and

is the most water- soluble of all sugars. Fructose is derived from sugar can, sugar beets, and maize.

The above studies help the researchers in their present study because it talks about lemon and sugar

that makes it a good alternative car fresheners. It helps the researchers because its related to their study

which is for car fresheners. It helps the researchers because it gave them a guide if what is really inside

sugar and in lemon. It helps the researches on how to also make their study.
