ABSTRACT
The researchers create an alternative device in pasteurizing Carabao’s milk using the sun
as the source of energy, it is called ‘solar oven’ which uses the heat to pasteurize a milk.
This device can be used by Filipinos instead of using ovens that uses electricity which is
really expensive. This device aims to help people and our environment by making them
use an affordable and renewable device that can pasteurize milk. This device is created
by the researchers for the farmers specially the farmers of Nueva Ecija, the milk capital
of the Philippines and this is helpful in our environment because the researchers can
reduce the usage of electricity. We conducted this idea for we all knew that the
Philippines is a tropical country and instead of being irritated about the hot temperature
why don’t we think of something for us to benefit from it, it is like we are seeing the
positive side of it. The main function of this prototype ‘solar oven box’ is to trap the heat
inside by using this eco-friendly material and when the heat is trap inside it just have to
reach the said temperature and time needed for pasteurization, for it to know if the milk is
pasteurizing the researchers have to get a pH level of 6.7 and above to tell that if the milk
is really pasteurized. With its limitations that it can only be used in sunny days and the
glass is too fragile let this be a room for improvement for the main goal of this research is
to conduct an idea Truly this device is an alternative solar oven which is really helpful in
the people, for the people not to cost money and for the people to have the knowledge in
using a renewable energy.

CHAPTER I
In the mid-19th century, a French scientist named Louis Pasteur was given a task on why
beer and wine sometimes soured during fermentation, he later concluded that it was
tests of heating and cooling of the liquids until germs were neutralized. This was later
Louis Pasteur was not the only one who paved the way to this discovery, even an Italian
priest and scientist named Lazzaro Spallanzani realized that “a significant degree of heat”
sealing” the jar. (Blitz, 2016) Therefore, pasteurization is a process of heat processing a
liquid or a food to kill pathogenic bacteria to make the food safe to eat. Pasteurization
improves the quality of milk and milk products and gives them a longer shelf life by
destroying undesirable enzymes and spoilage bacteria. There are different kinds of
pasteurization of milk, first is Ultra pasteurization that involves heating of milk for at
least 280˚F for 2 seconds. This kind of pasteurized milk is refrigerated. Second is Ultra-
for 1 to 2 seconds. The milk is packed in a sterile, hermetically sealed containers and
stored for 90 days. These kinds of pasteurization only occur in commercially made milks
As for the milk, carabao milk has better nutrients and much creamier than cow’s milk,
reportedly, our country’s milk is 36% from carabao’s. According to Philippine Carabao
Center, carabao’s milk is considered as “the most complete food”, many people thinks
that carabao’s milk is underrated, and that is why the researcher’s decided to pasteurize
carabao’s milk for people to recognize its value and essence as most of Filipino farmers
are still using carabaos as their companion in farming. It is also a help for the local milk-
farmers because it can help sustain their own products and solar oven can be their
raw milk. It is done in dairy enterprises with the assistance of heater for heating a milk. It
is also one of the cheapest and easiest method to eliminate harmful bacteria presented in a
water or milk. Heating in a conventional way is expensive that is why solar pasteurization
is an alternative.
How can solar cooking be effective? Solar cooking is done by means of Sun’s UV rays,
it is not the sun’s rays that cooks the food, and rather, it is the converted heat from the
sun’s rays that cooks the food inside. There are three main principles to effective solar
cooking, first is Concentration, where the reflectors must be placed according to where
the sun shines the most, reflectors are a must in a solar oven or cooker for it to speed up
heat accumulation. Second is absorption, solar cookers become effective when the inner
surface and also the color of the cookware is black, because dark color absorbs more
heat. Third is retention wherein there is a need to trap the heat for the solar oven be able
DR. YANGA’S COLLEGES, INC. 8
to cook food effectively. (Layton, 2017) The effectiveness of solar cooking is if the solar
Solar oven, also called as solar cooker, is a device that uses trapped heat to cook food. It
is a simple, affordable and an efficient tool in cooking. The researchers will use a type of
solar oven, which is box cooker. The researchers decided to use this type of solar oven
because it is cheap and easy to make and use. It also does not use electricity unlike other
cooker or machines, as long as the sun is present, it will be efficient and can be used. The
benefits of using a solar cooker is that it is not expensive, very cheap and easy to use.
Also, it is environment friendly for it uses the sun to cook food, and you notice the food if
it is already burning or not. Its drawbacks are that it cannot be used in winter and rainy
The researchers study involves using solar oven as an alternative for pasteurization of
milk. The researchers’ solar oven is a box, with reflectors for trapping heat and
thermometer for the temperature. The objective of the researcher’s solar oven is to prove
that the oven can pasteurize milk and likewise to help in cooking other food in the oven.
The researchers aim to see what can the solar oven provide in today’s generation as this
epoch is growing and improving, with technologies around, can prove that the researchers
can make an alternative instead of using pasteurization machine for the people, especially
Theoretical Framework
Solar Cell Theory, the researchers use sunlight as their fuel. A solar cell is a
device that converts light into electricity via the ‘photovoltaic effect’. They are also
differentiate them from solar thermal devices. Solar cells make up the fuel in solar
oven, this will help in heating the oven and in the conversion. (KYOCERA, n.d)
Pasteurization basic Theory, the heating of every particle of milk or milk product to
recontamination of that milk or milk product during the heat treatment process. It is
the process that will be used in making our raw milk fresh in clean, through this
theory, it will help the researchers to have an idea about pasteurizing through
means of using solar energy. This theory will serve as the researchers guide to

Hypothesis
Null Hypothesis
Nowadays, pasteurizing milk is very expensive that is why this research is a big help for
milk consumers, farmers and business man (field of milk), solar oven is cheap and very
eco-friendly for the solar oven uses the heat of the sun to pasteurize the milk This can
also be the start of innovation when it comes to solar energy specially now the shortages
Alternative Hypothesis
On the other hand, having milk as a use for effectivity of the product is a ‘so-so’
because the process of pasteurization usually occurs in water. Milk can be rancid due to
the exposure of heat. The solar oven may take a lot of time in pasteurizing. Also, having
glass as part of the structure can also be somewhat a negative part of the product. Glass is
known for being fragile and having it expose in the sun can be risky for there are chances
This part of the study includes the questions, expressions, an area of concern or a part
where there is a need to be improved on that exists on a certain study or topic that will be

society?
• How can the researchers assure that the milk is pasteurized even though it is from
Specific:
• How much temperature does the solar oven need to collect in order to pasteurize?
The main purpose of the study is to create a solar oven for pasteurization, not just for
milk but for other products that can be pasteurized. Since this modern epoch now uses big
objects that can be seen everywhere, with this, the researchers make a perfect solution for
anyone who still finds very hard to pasteurize a milk in a machine. There are five other

The purpose of the study is to PROVE that the solar oven can be an alternative for
pasteurization of milk. The researchers come up with the plan to help other local milk

Here comes the “solar oven”. Solar Oven can provide a practical and healthy
alternative to burning organic compounds that releases toxic smoke. So, how does it
work? Instead of converting solar energy to electricity, Solar Oven traps light particles
called photons and converts it to heat. With the help of reflectors around the oven,
photons can pass through the glass top and into the box. Inventions like this doesn’t mean
that we can’t produce and upgrade more innovative gadgets and machines, actually, solar
oven is the best alternative for everyone, especially who loves an outdoor party with
This was the headline in the New York Times on 4 April 1931. It turned out to be a
premonition, since, 80 years later and electricity is being supplied to millions of human
beings in the world from renewable energies such as solar. Since the sun has 6.5 million
years, the sun can still supply needs and we can also use it until we can. Using solar
energy will become the sustainable energy source and system of the world. Convert solar
energy to heat, by photovoltaic cells, and give more benefits for the world to use in the
3. Solar Pasteurization
Boiling is not enough to say that the water is safe enough to drink it. Hence here
comes Solar Pasteurization that has proven to be a very low-cost disinfection method to
produce drinking water out of non-turbid fresh water. Withal, solar pasteurization seems
to be not that easy to execute and monitor, thus it is not a wide spread method for point-
of-use water treatment. Milk can also be pasteurized, a procedure used to make it more
minutes. SODIS technique seems to become the most widely applied when it comes to
using solar energy for water disinfection it focuses on a consolidation of the antibacterial
role of solar UV radiation and ascendant temperature while solar pasteurization is making
Solar pasteurization might be an option on both, the village and household level.
But household usage is more competitive because village-scale alternatives have much
lower treatment cost. Somehow solar pasteurizers that have been refined are an
educational tool or curiosity rather than practical methods of producing safe water
applicable in developing countries on a large scale. But there are also disadvantages on
this solar cooker, such as it relies on solar energy therefore its effectiveness depends on
the daily hours of sunshine in an area. And recontamination is attainable posterior the
water has cooled thus subsequent safe storage is essential. Turbidity, odour, taste or color
does not demote by the solar cooker and also its chemical pollutants from water that’s

banking collects process and store breast milk for vulnerable babies. As breastfed babies said to
be more likely to grow up into healthy adults. Alas, many babies are left unfed because of illness
or indifference. Makati focuses more on giving milk to premature babies as they need it more
than infants. The milk is not for free, 240 pesos for 120 ml. But residents in Makati City get a
10% discount and those who are admitted in Osmak are free of charge. As for now, Makati
Human Milk Bank provides milk for a month to 28 babies across 14 hospitals. In this article we

can see the help of other people to donate milks to other people, but they have few pioneer
hospitals who are operating milk banking that is why it is the researcher’s task to make this
Over use of coal and fuel for the production of energy that adds up to what people are
experiencing now which is global warming is very alarming. Using energy or electricity is really
hard for the researchers right now but in this article tells that solar energy is a helping thing
especially in the Philippines because it is a tropical country. It will be a long-term and natural use
since the power comes to the sun and heat in the Philippines is not a hindrance to catch. Having
this solar energy helps in reducing the use of electricity and can decrease the cost of money
because just in a ray of sun the researchers can create an energy that can be use in different parts.
Using of solar energy is elevated in this article as it helps to conserve the environment and
The importance of solar can help the environment in pollution. This solar energy can be used for
cooking and boiling of water. Now there is no need for some firewood to cook instead using solar
energy and it’s had advantage. The Davao inmates cooking is a lot easier now compared to
before. And recently they got a solar water heating system that is said to save at least 60, 000
kilograms of firewood per year. From three times a week of truckload delivery to a single
delivery. Not only the fire woods are being reduced but also their time that is being spent at
cooking since before they use fire woods. The project main goal is to save cash for the budget to

Sun has the advantage. An alternative energy that is abundant to Philippines is solar power. Solar
power that can reach remote places in Philippines. Filipinos are irritated because of the sun but
right now in this article sun has benefits in many ways, it helps to have exact energy in daily lives
and it giving as low probability to cost a lot of money. Like solar cookers, through concentrated
heat these inexpensive and innovative stoves can cook and boil. But depending on the water solar
cookers might require several hours of meal preparation. Another advantage of using the sun’s
energy is water heaters, solar lightning and cooling homes through solar kits that is more
affordable and user friendly to everyone. People thought that solar powered systems are
expensive that’s why even with the knowledge of it they still prefer using wood and fuel. There
are imitations to the power that solar energy can provide. The sun has many advantages that is
why do not just blame it cherish it because someday it can help humanity. (M., n.d)
Manila is achieving a renewable energy because of the over use in it in the Philippines that is why
they created a law which aim to achieve a renewable energy come from fossil fuels and etc. That
law is the Renewable Energy Act of 2008. Manila is trying to be a friendlier in our environment
and use this in some good influences. Harnessing renewable energy will eventually help our
country in case of products like fuel and it can minimize the country's exposure to prizes
There is another law in this article and that is RE Law, “The RE Law enabled the RE sector
through the FIT mechanism". It can help the country to use renewable technology. And according
to president and COO Oscar de Venecia Jr., the geothermal energy can contribute a lot of energy
supply in our country and it can help us in case of renewable energy. (Rivera, 2018)

1. The Dangers of Raw Milk: Unpasteurized Milk Can Pose a Serious Health Risk
People know that raw milk is nice to drink and some believe that it is a better
alternative because pasteurization harms milk yet we don’t know that this can harbor
responsible for causing numerous foodborne illnesses. Raw milk poses serious health
risks to humans especially people with weakened immune systems, older adults, pregnant
women, and most especially the one whose most effected is the children and teenagers.
According to an analysis by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
between 1993 and 2006 more than 1500 people in the United States became sick from
temperature for a set period of time. Pasteurized milk contains low levels of the type of
nonpathogenic bacteria that can cause food spoilage, therefore storing your pasteurized
Most of us heard the term “pasteurized” and “homogenized” but, do we really know
what it really means? Pasteurization is the term for heating milk at a certain temperature
and cooling it afterwards, this process involves killing bacteria as well as other non-
its purpose is to break down fat molecules for it to resist separation. It also gives the milk
its smooth and rich texture. In short, both processes occur in most commercially made
milks in U.S. supermarkets, thus making it healthier to be consumed for other people. (S.

3. Mother’s Story
This tackled a story of a mother that is in the time of war. The son said that during the
war, “Mother buy raw milk in a farmer” and after the mother experience diseases like
tuberculosis, in this story it tells that pasteurization is a really important thing for humans
to maintain good health because in this process people can ensure that a particular
Pasteurize products is worse to human health, the one who is fresh from farms is safer
it uses some chemicals that may cause diseases. It says that “Pasteurization destroys the
nutritional integrity of milk, making it toxic for human consumption”, humans can get
toxic more to a pasteurize product and it is not safe for humans to take. But the people
picking pasteurize milk because they know that is safer for us because it has a particular

pasteurize milk because they are ensure that this is a good process cause it have a particular
company that securing its safety, but we are not secure about it because we don’t know what
chemicals that they are using in it. And in the side of raw milk, humans can ensure that it is safe
if the animal or a particular thing is clean and being fed with a right and healthy food by being
cared more safely. We do not really know what is more safety that is why solar oven is created so
there is an easy way and non-expensive way to pasteurize a milk. (Dr. Edward Group DC, 2015)
Most of the milks that are being sold to communities came largely from crossbreed
carabaos, in line with this, the milk is used for production of sweets such as pastillas de
leche and the famous kesong puti. (Center, n.d) Also, our country imports 98.8% of
milks, only 1% is produced by our local farmers, although we have milk-producing farms
here, still we see that most of the milk products on super market came from other
countries. (KaraBella, n.d) Surprisingly, carabao milk is locally produced and has been
the lives of many Filipino farmers. Thus, we should see more of carabao milk being
produced and consumed here, in our country. But we don’t really know if this things or
animals is safe and we don’t know what are the things or products that the animal ate,
Carabao milk will be given to kids, ages 3 to 5, as a project for Department of Social
Welfare and Development and of Philippine Carabao Center. Milks are added to their
daily meal as a healthy option. The milks given are bought from Filipino farmers, as said
DR. YANGA’S COLLEGES, INC. 23
by Arnel Del Barrio, the acting PCC executive director. They also said that this will help
the kids gain nutrition from the milk and will also help the farmers to sell their product
and provide a strong milk enterprise for their own. By this, they can promote drinking
fresh and healthy milk for the children. (R., 2016) We have to ensure the things that we
are taking and the milk of kids because we can’t ensure that these things are safe
3. Orange!
The pasteurization of orange juice that is popular in the Philippines, Many Filipinos really like
orange juice but is it safe enough for us to drink? That is why pasteurization is created for it to be
safer for drinking because it kills the microorganism that may cause some diseases to the body.
(G. A. , 2009)

Scope
The Philippines is a tropical country where the heat from sun is abundant and milk
pasteurization is expensive, the ‘do it yourself’ solar oven is a great alternative for milk
farmers. Instead of bringing the raw milk to different commercial places to get
pasteurized the milk, farmers can use the solar oven which is cheaper but also safe. Solar
energy is also renewable, with the amount of sunlight the country receives getting the
oven to work is easy, plus it also lessens bills for the solar oven does not use any machine
but only the sunlight. In order to know if the milk is already pasteurized, the researchers
come up with a plan to use a device that measures the pH level of a pasteurized milk.
Limitations
As for the milk, the researchers will only use carabao’s milk. The limits of this device
are that the researchers will depend on the weather in using the solar oven, the solar oven
will just work in a sunny day. The researchers will only make a solar box oven, not the
other types of solar oven. Also, the researchers will only focus on using the wooden

The Primary beneficiaries of this research are the people living in the Nueva Ecija for it is
known for fresh carabao milk and is entitled as “The Milk Capital of the Philippines”.
This will help lessen the people’s pricey materials in pasteurizing raw milk and also to
help the people raise income. And also, for the people to be able to drink a budget and
The most important material in this research is the unpasteurized milk which will be
collected from milk farms that is one of the researcher’s family friends from Sta. Maria
and Dalig Bulacan. All mammals produce milk but humans are the only unique one who
drinks milk of the other species, of course after it is pasteurized and packed by different

producers. In the Philippines the most commonly known local animals that produce milk
are cow, buffalo and goat. Mostly the fresh milk we see in the market is from the other
countries, mostly from New Zealand. Though some are from Nueva Ecija which is the
main province who produces milk, the researchers choose to find a nearer place.

A. Collection of Data
A.1. Preparation
The researchers prepared the needed materials in making the solar oven and the
researchers also ready the cow’s raw milk. The researchers planned on what to conduct
and to test to prove the effectivity of the solar oven and the main component is
temperature.
In order for the researchers to tell the effectiveness of the product the solar oven must
work successfully by having the exact amount of milk temperature 71.7˚C in a span of 15
seconds the researchers can tell that the milk is pasteurized. The relationship of the solar
A.3. Testing
In the testing, the solar oven structure must be successfully achieved for it helps in
absorbing the sun’s heat. The solar oven must be outside where the sun is most exposed
so that there’s a high possibility for the solar oven to absorb the heat. There are many
factors to be considered to tell that the milk is pasteurized; Milk temperature is mostly
considered.
B. Formulation of Hypothesis
In this test procedure the researchers can know the things that the researchers have to
improve for more possibility in pasteurizing a milk, and the researchers can know the
implication of the product. The researchers can identify the time and temperature that
they needed in the product for pasteurization of milk, using this procedure the researchers
can test the effectiveness of the product. The solar oven is effective and it can pasteurize
There is the possibility that the researchers may fail to pasteurize a milk because the lack
of sunlight. And the researchers are not sure if the product that the researchers are making
is in right structure to conduct more heat in the solar oven for pasteurization. The specific
heat is not yet achieved but the researchers are still finding a way for it to be achieved.

Data Interpretation
This part of the study includes the interpretation of the data gathered by the researchers.
The researchers use the Predictive and Prescriptive way of analyzing the data.
I. Descriptive Analysis
The data gathered is from the researcher’s experiment on the product. The
researchers made a series of tests and trials to prove if the product is effective and
To know if the milk is pasteurized, the researchers uses a device that indicates the
amount of pH level of milk, a safe and pasteurized milk needs to meet a 6.7 pH
level. In conducting series of trials and tests, the researchers have proved that the
milk is pasteurized by achieving 6.7 pH level. The researchers also monitored the
temperature of milk and the solar oven. Thus, leading to the effectiveness of the
said product.
this pasteurization process the milk is safe to drink because when the process is
on-going it kills the bacteria that is possibly in the milk. This device helps to
prevent food poisoning or sickness. It also helps the people in far places to have a
safer drinkable milk that doesn't have microorganism that can cause some
diseases.
If the milk hit the exact amount of pH level it can be sold in the markets. A way
to help many farmers so that they don't have to go in far places to get milk
pasteurized and pay an enormous money, by using this device the percentage of
diseases that could be caught from drinking raw milk are also lessen.
This product is an efficient alternative for pasteurization machines that uses a non-
renewable energy. If this product became successful it could hit the market and help
milk farmers lessen the money spent for a commercial pasteurization. On the other
hand, if the product failed to meet the target Ph level, the researchers need to check
CHAPTER IV
Summary of Findings
At 8:15am before the milk was put in the oven the luminosity was at 12930 lux, it's pH
level was 6.29, the solar oven's temperature was 30.5°C and the milk's temperature was at
28.4°C.The first hour which is 9:15am the luminosity was 12419 lux, the milk's pH level
was 6.46, the solar oven's temperature was at 33.0°C and the milk's temperature was
38.6°C.At 10:15am the luminosity was at 12491 lux, the milk's pH level was 6.46, the
solar oven's temperature was 31.4°C and the milk temperature was 37.6°C.During
11:15am the luminosity was 2442 lux, milk's pH level was 6.55, solar oven's temperature
was 31.9 and the milk's temperature was at 35.9°C. At 12:15pm the luminosity was 736
lux, milk's pH level was 6.57, solar oven's temperate was 32.9 and the milk's temperature
was 40.4°C. At 1:15pm the luminosity was 5446 lux, the pH level of pasteurized milk
was achieved which is 6.7, solar oven's temperature was 34.4°C and the milk's
temperature was at 42.3°C. By the last hour of testing at 2:15pm the luminosity was
4566, the milk's pH level was 6.71, the solar oven's temperature was34.3°C and the milk's
temperature was 42.3°C. The data shows the time, luminosity, milk's pH level, the solar
oven's temperature and also the milk's temperature during the testing. Sunlight have
played a big factor in pasteurizing a milk, with its heat the oven has successfully done its
purpose.

Conclusions
Many people get irritated by the extreme heat of the sun specially those who lives in a
tropical country, those people didn't know that it can change their whole lives.
Exaggerated? No, because the heat of the sun can be a source of electricity and many
inventors is starting to create a solar panel that can turn heat into electricity. The
researchers create a solar oven for pasteurizing, yes, it is possible. The researchers
specifically choose pasteurizing for it is expensive nowadays. The Solar oven can be an
alternative for it is eco and budget friendly. The glass can be a reflector to pasteurize the
milk inside the oven. Based on the results it is a success for it can achieved 6.7 Ph level
but only for a 250 ml milk for the solar oven is just a small oven and pasteurizing big
amount of milk is possible in a big solar oven. If many solar powered inventions is
created, it will be more easier for the people to have electricity. Indeed, extreme heat is
irritating but in every negative thing there will always be a hidden positivity.
• Alternative Materials
This solar oven is just an alternative way of pasteurizing milk, but without enough
temperature there is a possibility in not having a pasteurize milk that is why it needed
more materials that can absorb more heat for pasteurization. An alternative way to record
the temperature inside of the box. A paint that can easily absorb heat inside the solar
oven. An alternative way to record the time. An alternative way to carry easily the solar
oven everywhere.
• Poor glasses
DR. YANGA’S COLLEGES, INC. 60
The reflector which is the glass is very fragile that’s why it needs more protection and the
reflector is one of the most important part of the solar oven that is why it needs
Bigger or wider body to fit different products so that it will be versatile. If the solar
oven will be bigger it can even bake or make cheese for bigger structure of solar
