IV Research Plan
A. Rationale
Sanitizers are one of the most commonly used hygienic products to prevent and
remove germs, viruses and bacteria in our body, especially in our hands (Mikaela
Pajares, 2015). It is more handy and convenient unlike other products that are used in
different cleaning purposes. Its fragrance is one important factor that convinces people
in to buying sanitizers. Several ingredients are used to obtain the appealing smell of
the product.

The main goal of the study is to find out if a natural product could be an alternative
and effective main component in sanitizer, other than artificial products commonly
used in them. Another goal of this study is to persuade consumers into using a natural
sanitizer, rather than using a commercial sanitizer or a toxic alcohol.

B. Statement of the objective

General objective:

The study will determine if lemon and gumamela can build a fragrant sanitizer and
become a main ingredient

Specific objective

To make the lemon, alcohol and gumamela is suitable for hand sanitizer

C. Statement of the problem

General problem
This study aims to find out if lemon and gumamela are suitable for sanitizer.

Specific problem
1. To find if there’s a difference in natural and artificial sanitizers?

2. If gumamela and lemon will best be suited for the product/study?

D. Hypothesis
The researcher will be guided by the following hypotheses

1. There is no difference if lemon is used instead of orange.

2. Gumamela can fragrance the sanitizer.

E. Research methods

General procedure
Plant material and equipment

The gel of the aloe vera plant which will be collected at the surrounding of Bansud
Public Market, Poblacion, Bansud, Oriental Mindoro. Specimen will be identified by the
school’s researcher teacher Darwin A. Muleta for authentication. Other used materials
and equipment are the following: One cup of alcohol, the zest of the lemon, the
squashed gumamela, a blender, mortar and pestle, four bowls, a spoon and a small
container.

Preparation of the aloe vera gel and “gumamela jam”

Two pieces of aloe vera and six pieces of gumamela will be prepared in a clean table
along with the mortar and pestle and blender. First use a bowl to get the gel from the
aloe vera. Use a spoon to get all the gel from the plant. If your finish put it inside a
refrigerator to keep its freshness and make sure to cover it.

After collecting the gel now get the jam from the gumamela using a sterilized mortar and
pestle. Collect the petals and only the petals of the flower, now put each and every
petals in the mortar and pestle. Get the extracts finely and refrigerate it after.

F. Risk and safety

The school’s researcher must ensure the safety of using ethanol for the project. He
must make the kids wear safety goggles, lab coat, and gloves for safety.

G. Data analysis
The following data will be inspected by the school researcher Sir. Darwin A. Muleta. For
the project aloe vera, Alcohol, lemon, and gumamela as a fragrant sanitizer there are a
highly percent of its components as a sanitizer for the cause of aloe vera main
components that are highly used in hygiene based products such as sanitizer, soap,
etc.

I. Background of the study

A hand sanitizer or hand antiseptic is a supplement or alternative to hand washing with
soap and water. Various preparations are available, including gel, foam, and liquid
solutions. The active ingredient in hand sanitizer may be isopropanol, ethanol, n-
propanol, or providone-iodine.

Washing of hand is utmost important to reduce the microbial contamination in hospital,

laboratories, toiletries and at home. The strong religious belief irrespective of any region
is to wash your hand before intake of food. This old age belief was scientifically proven
and now we have absolute proof of contamination of food and food borne diseases
caused due to unwashed hand.

Most of hospital acquired infections are caused due to unhygienic condition of the
hands of both patient and the hospital staff. The common opportunistic pathogens which
cause hospital acquired infections are staphylococcus aureus, E.coli and pseudomonas
aeruginosa. The most common use to dis infect the hands is to wash it with clean water.

The alcohol free hand sanitizer vlz. Povidine-iodine, benzalkonium choride or triclosan
have persistent antimicrobial activity for a prolonged period and claims to be effective in
killing microorganism.

Significance of the study

Germs are all around the earth. You wouldn’t know when, where, or how it can affect
you that is why sanitizer was invented to cleanse for our everyday life. Furthermore this
study is significant to

Student and pre-schoolers

Everyday student and toddlers in school always catches germs. This study can be
beneficial for them because throughout the germs we collect, one drop of this sanitizer it
will totally fade

Workers
Workers have a rough day every day and even simple work they attract germs in their
body. This will be beneficial to them because every break or after work they can use this
sanitizer to cleanse their filthy hands.

Country
By these sanitizer Filipino will no longer catch disease quickly because of these germs
they can now just drop one of the sanitizer and say goodbye to these disease

Family members
Family members are your very closest buds so they can pass or you can pass them all
the germs you have in your body that is why we should essentially use sanitizer all day
everyday
