 ACKNOWLEDGMENT

This research study would have not been successful if not because for the people

who supported and helped us. First of all, we thank our Almighty God for the guidance

that He gave us as we conducted our study. Through His unconditional love and mercy,

He gave us motivation, courage and the ability to finish this research study with a sound

mind.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our Research Teacher, Mr. Charles

French Wong, who never loses his patience in helping, understanding and giving us

advice. We would also like to give our thanks to our parents for their moral and financial

support throughout this study.

Lastly, to the randomly selected respondents who participated in this research study

despite of their hectic schedule and precautionary measures due to the pandemic, still,

they were kind enough to give us an ample amount of their time in answering our

questionnaires.

Indeed, this research would not be successful in our own ways. It takes a dynamic

adviser, great teachers, good friends, helpful classmates, supportive parents and

wonderful group mates to achieve the final goals.

 ABSTRACT

The respondents of this study are taken randomly with the total of 50 which has

been broken down into parts with 7 random respondents taken each, from Brgy. Cabano,

San Lorenzo Guimaras ; Brgy. Benedicto, Jaro; Brgy. Buray, Oton; Brgy. Tarug,

Alimodian; Bo. Obrero, Lapuz; and Brgy. San Isidro, Jaro. While the other 8 respondents

will be randomly taken from Deca Homes Province Resort and Residency 1 within

village 3 Pavia, Iloilo. In determining this sample size, the researchers have decided to

choose their respondents out of convenience due to the global pandemic and

precautionary measures. Data collection technique uses questionnaires that are already

validated by the advisory teacher and field trial. The study questionnaire is composed of

four questions that are distributed through online forms. The online survey method is

used to gather data by asking systematical questions to the respondents who are thought

to have desired information. A formal list of questionnaire is prepared. Generally a non-

disguised approach is used. The respondents are asked questions on their demographic

interest of opinions.
1. INTRODUCTION

Deodorizers are the ones in charge in neutralizing and eliminating foul odors from

the things that people commonly use. For instance, the foot wears that they use on their

daily errands. It helps absorb moisture that has been formed or are forming when our feet

cannot respire. The bacteria proliferate until it breeds and spread which makes it fabricate

a bad smell in an object which is commonly called “odor”. It can be controlled with the

right hygiene products but when your footwear takes on a very unpleasant smell, your

best option besides outright replacing your shoes is to have a reliable shoe deodorizer. A

deodorizer that manages to get rid of tough, deep-set odors with a soft, pleasant scent and

can last for a few weeks before they need to be replaced.

Several studies have shown that charcoal can help absorb unwanted odors naturally.

In addition, parsley also has its antiseptic, antimicrobial, and astringent properties that

supports the deodorizing effect of the chlorophyll in parsley that is known to neutralize

body odor.

1.1. Background of the Study

Homeowners want a more powerful fragrance that lasts longer. They want a more

cleaner solution that has less of an impact to the environment. This provides a huge

opportunity for us to innovate and experiment with new ways of scenting a space and

reaching out to these target markets. That can only mean better outcomes for the cleaning

sector, too (European Cleaning Journal, 2019).

 It’s important for both our physical and mental health, especially for those who are

hypoallergenic. Factoring air pollution into your cleaning routine can make life at home

so much more pleasant. High Efficiency Particulate Area (HEPA) filters in your air

conditioner unit, vacuuming regularly, and opening the windows when the weather is

good can all help reduce allergens and airborne bacteria. There are plenty of other natural

products you can use to deodorize your home and give it a delicious scent (Shawke,

2019).

Some of the shoe deodorizers cannot last for a long period of time. Others are using

artificial products to get rid of foul odors but cannot maintain the fragrance in their

footwear. It is unpredictable if the product that you are using will cover it up or not; the

offensive smell in your shoes. That is why other people are seeking for a better way to

solve their problem in a more natural process but the truth is people still take the basic

methods of using harmful chemicals that is not only bad for the community but also for

the health and well-being of the people. To sum it up, the researchers have come up with

this idea of making a natural shoe deodorizer.

1.2. Statement of Objectives

The researchers aims to create an innovated product specifically the Charcoal and

Parsley Shoe Deodorizer.

a) How knowledgeable are the people with the idea of Charcoal And Parsley as a Shoe

Deodorizer?
b) Is the product acceptable in terms of smell, detoxification, and packaging?

c) What will be the overall rating of the Parsley and Charcoal Shoe Deodorizer?

1.3. Significance of the Study

The importance of this study is to help people get rid of odors in their shoes, cabinet,

refrigerator and in any area in general that contains a bad smell.

This study will benefit the following ;

1. Homeowners. It will be useful for the homeowners to use natural ingredients as it is

non-toxic and is safe for children.

2. Students. They can use it to deodorize and freshen their smelly shoes in a more

budget-friendly way.

3. Future Researchers. The result of this study can serve as a basis for their study.

1.4. Definition of Terms

Deodorizer - Deodorizers contain odor eliminator agents by binding to the odor

molecule and changing its structure, so that it can’t attach to odor receptors in our nose,

and we can no longer smell it. (BIO-ENZYMATIC, DEODORIZER,2018).

Shoe Deodorizer- Shoe deodorizers are designed to neutralize and eliminate odors.

They're effective at removing smells from a variety of materials, including leather, vinyl,

or canvas. (S. Babish, 2020).

 Activated Charcoal - Activated charcoal is a fine black powder made from bone

char, coconut shells, peat, petroleum coke, coal, olive pits or sawdust. It has a variety of

proposed benefits, ranging from lowering cholesterol to whitening teeth and curing

hangovers (Alina Petre, MS, RD (NL), June 29, 2017).

1.5. Scope and Delimitation

This study was rendered to create an innovated product, specifically a deodorizer,

that eliminates foul odors. The researchers aims to produce an effective shoe deodorizer

out of natural ingredients, mainly parsley and charcoal. The researchers will be having

50 respondents. The number of the participants will vary depending on the different

barangays of each researcher. There will be 7 random respondents taken each from Brgy.

Cabano, San Lorenzo Guimaras ; Brgy. Benedicto, Jaro; Brgy. Buray, Oton; Brgy. Tarug,

Alimodian; Bo. Obrero, Lapuz; and Brgy. San Isidro, Jaro. While the other 8 respondents

will be randomly taken from Deca Homes Province Resort and Residency 1 within

village 3 Pavia, Iloilo. In determining this sample size, the researchers have decided to

choose their respondents out of convenience due to the global pandemic and

precautionary measures.

This will be conducted during the academic year 2020-2021 of the Grade 12 Senior

High School Students of St. Robert’s International Academy.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

This chapter presents the review of literature studies that are related to the present

investigation about the coping mechanism of Senior High School Students with limited

allowances.

2.1. Conceptual Literature

A lot of people think that chemicals are the best way to cover undesirable odors.

They try to chemically remove the odor, or try to cover up the stink with a different

smell. But chemicals are not the answer in this situation, as they don’t remove the smell

and are bad for you, your home, and the environment. The good news is that you can

remove these odors naturally, benefiting you in countless ways (Wickham, 2015).

Olfaction (sense of smell) is one of the senses that are often taken for granted by

individuals. The role of olfaction can be seen as two fold. The first is a functional role,

rooted in the survival of the species, including staying away from hazards, food ingestion

and social relationships (Stevenson, 2010).

One of the first things visitors notice when entering your home is its smell. They

might even sense an odor before ever opening the door to see the inside. Odors are your

home's first impression. Charcoal is known to effectively absorb and trap odors, but you

will want to control the potential mess it can make (Pelmont, 2015).

Parsley
 Parsley is a popular folk remedy for treating unpleasant body odors. It’s the high

content of chlorophyll and its fresh aroma that give it a deodorizing effect. This herb

cleanses the body and fights bacteria that make the body smell bad (Negishi O, Negishi

Y, Ozawa, 2002). Chlorophyll is also known as nature’s deodorizer for its ability to help

detoxify the blood. It’s been said to help with odor control, gut health, immune system

support and cancer prevention (Wilson, 2018). Parsley is the most popular herb used in

cooking or garnishing a dish. Parsley also has anti-inflammatory properties, so used daily,

it could help to relive joint pain. Since parsley is hard to grow it was thought that only

witches could grow it. Due to the high levels of chlorophyll, parsley is a natural

deodorizer. After eating garlic and onions, chew a piece of parsley to combat mouth odors

(Barr & Sentinel, 2018). The deodorizing effect of the chlorophyll in parsley is known to

neutralize body odor. Parsley also has antiseptic, antimicrobial, and astringent properties (

Theresaan, 2019). The strong oils in parsley help overpower nose-offending scents.

Parsley also contains a good amount of chlorophyll, which has alkalizing effects. This

means it helps alkalize the body and purify the blood. In addition, its antibacterial effects

combat the odor-causing bacteria in the body. Parsley also aids in detoxification

(Kapaios, 2019).

According to the Starts at 60 (A community), 2017 , the effect of chlorophyll, and

parsley, on body odour is well documented anecdotally, there’s not yet enough clinical

evidence for it to be marketed as a smell-killer, which is why it’s sold as a dietary

supplement . Eating parsley is known to help reduce the unpleasant odor caused by

bacterial action on body sweat. Although sweat is a natural coolant and can include the
pheromones that are responsible for the attraction of one person to another, it is subject to

bacterial degradation which occurs with the release of foul-smelling sulfurous gases.

Anaerobic bacteria deep within the pores of the skin also release these gases, with the

results that a body that has not been washed for a while will tend to offer an odor

offensive to the nose.parsley stalks. In the past, such body odor could be reduced by

rubbing herbs over the body, and while this tended by and large to mask the smell to a

greater or lesser degree, it was believed that parsley actually absorbed the odor. This is

likely due to the large quantities of chlorophyll that parsley contains(Miller, 2011).

Charcoal

Activated charcoal is a fine, odorless, black powder often used in emergency

rooms to treat overdoses. Its toxin-absorbing properties have a wide range of medicinal

and cosmetic uses, though none are scientifically proven (Huizen, 2020). Activated

carbon can be made through various processes and from various carbon-containing raw

materials. Often raw materials such as,coal, brown coal,charcoal or coconut shells are

used (Zuiveringstechnieken, 2019). Neutralizing foul odors with activated charcoal is a

simple as setting the charcoal in the areas where you notice the smell. Activated charcoal

is a charcoal that has been chemically treated to increase the amount of oxygen it

contains. The infusion of oxygen makes the charcoal more porous so that it has more

surface area with which to absorb bad odors (Mackenzie,2017).

Activated charcoal is the powdered form of carbon and has a wide array of uses.

Besides a common odor remover in aquarium filters, activated charcoal is also an oral
treatment for various poisons. Furthermore, activated charcoal will absorb unpleasant

odors in the air without using harmful and potentially dangerous chemicals( Flanigan,

2017).Activated charcoal is not the same substance as that found in charcoal bricks or

burnt pieces of food. The manufacture of activated charcoal makes it extremely

adsorbent, allowing it to bind to molecules, ions, or atoms. In this way, it removes these

from dissolved substances. Various activated charcoal deodorants are widely available.

Charcoal may absorb smells and harmful gases, making it ideal as an underarm, shoe, and

refrigerator deodorant. Activated charcoal is also reported to be able to absorb excess

moisture and control humidity levels at a micro level (Huizen,2020).

2.2. Related Studies

Activated carbon is a special type of carbon that can adsorb various molecules and

these are absorbed in the large surface area by Van der Waals forces (General term used

to define the attraction of intermolecular forces between molecules). Just like charcoal

water filter, charcoal briquettes can be used to absorb moisture and odor from air in your

home.

Activated Charcoal neutralizes odors, including pet odors, mold and human waste, and

its much safer than chemical odor neutralizers. You can use it in trash cans, gym bags,

lockers, diapers, cars, pet runs and anywhere else you find yourself wrinkling your nose.

Activated charcoal is available as loose granules, disks or embedded in filters and

hanging deodorizers, so you can place it anywhere. You can also purchase loose granules

in bulk and make your own simple air fresheners (Mackenzie,2017).

2.3. Synthesis

Odour, also spelled Odor, the property of certain substances, in very small

concentrations, to stimulate chemical sense receptors that sample the air or water

surrounding an animal. In insects and other invertebrates and in aquatic animals, the

perception of small chemical concentrations often merges with perception via contact of

heavy concentrations (taste), and with other chemo receptive specializations

(Encyclopedia Britannica, 2017). Non-toxic deodorizers work differently. The natural

ingredients bond to the odor-causing particles and actually remove the smell by

neutralizing it through a natural reaction. This natural reaction between odor particles and

the salt or essential oils causes the smell to vanish and stay gone ( Wickham, 2015).

Activated carbon is purified, powdered charcoal it is treated physically or chemically

to generate micro-fissures that vastly increase its adsorptive surface area. Activated

carbon is used primarily to decolorize wine or remove off-odors. Different preparations

are available for specific applications (Jackson,2014).

In anticipation to the extensive and analytic formulation of the factors, the activated

charcoal and parsley is considered to be an achievable cleansing agent on neutralizing

scents founds in shoes. This distorts the limitations of the product and will determine the

excellent results.

3. METHODOLOGY

This chapter describes and discusses how the researchers will gather the necessary

data and information that will be used in the study. It describes who will be the

respondents and the focus of the research. This also shows the procedures and methods of

collecting the data as well as the research locale where the study will be conducted. This

chapter also discusses the type of research and research design that will be used

throughout the study.

3.1 Research Design

This study is a quantitative research that is generally concerned in innovating a shoe

deodorizer that made of parsley and charcoal. The researchers used the experimental

research design to develop an eco-friendly product. This is to ensure that the evidence

obtained enables the researcher to effectively address the research problem logically and

as unambiguously as possible. (Creswell et al., 2018).

Furthermore, the type of quantitative method used was descriptive statistics — a

survey questionnaire was distributed which aimed to determine whether the product is

existing within the community and effective to use. The researchers made an online

survey that is conducted by providing structured questionnaires to a number of randomly

chosen respondents. The participants is asked systematically through online forms and

submissions of data.
3.2 Context and Participants

The researchers have decided to choose their respondents within their community

due to the global pandemic and precautionary measures. Moreover, the researchers

divided the 50 participants into small numbers in order to gather data. There will be 7

random people taken as respondents inside each researcher’s town . Particularly the Brgy.

Cabano, San Lorenzo Guimaras ; Brgy. Benedicto, Jaro; Brgy. Buray, Oton; Brgy. Tarug,

Alimodian; Bo. Obrero, Lapuz; and Brgy. San Isidro, Jaro. While the other remaining 8

respondents will be randomly taken from Deca Homes Province Resort and Residency 1

within Village 3 Pavia, Iloilo.

The researchers used the systematic sampling method where the members of the

population is listed and selected in interval.

3.3 Research Instruments

A Questionnaire Survey is used in the study to gather the needed data among the

selected homeowners to test the sample product. This type of research instrument was

chosen for this research as it helps to ensure consistency and completeness in carrying out

a task. It is a quick method to collect data forms from multiples respondents. The

researchers asked permission to conduct the study from the Practical Research adviser.

After the approval, the researchers will then do the experiment for their product. The

researchers will reproduce and disseminate the survey questionnaires to the qualified

random respondents of each baranggay. The respondents will be asked to test the sample

product and accomplish the needed information after the researchers had explained the
purpose of the study and experiment thoroughly. The data will be retrieved immediately

after they have successfully accomplished it. Their responses will be arranged and

analyzed to know the effectiveness of the product.

3.4 Data-Gathering Procedure

The researchers used a survey questionnaire through an online form that has been

contrived based on the objectives of the study. This section of the study will consist of 4

parts.

Part 1. The researchers has first asked for permission to conduct the study from their

Practical Research adviser. After the approval, the researchers will begin to create their

experimental product. The researchers will then reproduce and disseminate the survey

questionnaires to the qualified random respondents of each designated Barangay.

Part 2. The respondents will be asked to test out the given sample product and to

accomplish the needed information asked for in the questionnaire after the researchers

thoroughly explains the purpose of the study. The data will be retrieved immediately after

they had completed the survey. Their responses will be evaluated and analyzed in order

for the researchers to assess and appraise the effectiveness of the said product. The

collected personal information of each respondents which includes their name (optional),

age, and gender.

Part 3. The effectiveness of the product is determined by the responses of the participants
assessed by the survey questionnaires. The questionnaire contains a stipulation of the

people’s awareness about the existence of the Charcoal Parsley Shoe Deodorizer if some

people use shoe deodorizer that are made by charcoal and parsley, is charcoal and parsley

are available in the community, and lastly do they prefer using conventional products

than commercial products.

Part 4. The researchers will deal with the tabulating, analyzing and interpreting of the

data gathered using several statistical tools.

3.5 Data Analysis

To interpret and analyze the results gathered from their investigation, the

researchers’ study will be subjected to statistical data analysis using descriptive statistics.

The study will use the measure of frequency and percentage to determine the profile

status of the respondents and the experimental study.

Frequency distribution is an organized tabulation/graphical representation of the

number of individuals in each category on the scale of measurement. Thus, frequency

distribution presents a picture of how the individual observations are distributed in the

measurement scale (S., Manikandan , 2011). It is used to measure the times of data value

that has occured based on the survey taken.

Percentage are straightforward and can be a universally applied independent on a

research field, it is essential that percentage contributions are determined by authors

rather than by a model based solely on the authors’ rank (S. Boyer, et al 2017). It is used

to determine the effectiveness and reliability of the Parsley Charcoal Shoe Deodorizer.

4. RESULTS

The Result presents the findings of the study. Descriptive Research Data reveals the

efficiency of Parsley Charcoal Shoe Deodorizer among the 50 students and homeowners

in each barangay within Iloilo City using the Survey method. The respondents are asked

questions on their opinions towards the study’s objectives.

SOP 1 : THE AWARENESS

Figure 2: This figure shows the awareness of the people about the existence

of parsley and charcoal as shoe deodorizer.

 The first column shows that 20 respondents agrees and 28 respondents strongly

agrees with the parsley and charcoal as good natural ingredients for a deodorizer.

Parsley is used by many people as a deodorant, and is a healthy way to mask the odor

of stale sweat or bad breath. Many people prefer to use roll-on or spray deodorants and

anti-perspirants but in doing so they could be compromising their health ( Miller, 2011).

Activated charcoal neutralizes odors, including pet odors, mold and human waste,

and it’s much safer than chemical odor neutralizers (E. Green, 2020).

In summary, Parsley and Charcoal are one of the known remedies to get rid the body

odor.
 The second column shows that the parsley and charcoal is available in their community

as there are 21 respondents who strongly agrees, 19 who agrees, 9 are neutral and 1

respondent disagrees as the ingredients might not available in his community.

There are two varieties of parsley that are most commonly grown in the Philippines.

One is the curly-leaf variety and the other variety is the flat-leaf variety. While both

thrive better is temperate zones, local heat resistant variants have been developed and

they grow very well even in the warmer lowlands. (Urban Gardening Mom, 2020).

Around 3 million people live in Manila’s slums, where hundreds of families have

earned their livelihood making charcoal for generations. The charcoal made in the slums

is sold to middlemen who then sell the fuel to small convenience stores across Manila.

Some Filipinos still use charcoal to cook daily, as do the vendors preparing street food

(McCormick, 2019).

As the result of the data shown with the support of other research studies, it was

proven that the parsley and charcoal are available within the community and they are

accessible in some stores and market place in the country.

 The third column shows that 27 respondents are strongly satisfied that parsley

charcoal shoe deodorizer is a possible solution for odors, 17 are satisfied and 6

respondents voted neutral.

Parsley is a popular folk remedy for bad odor. Its fresh scent and high chlorophyll

content suggest that it can have a deodorizing effect. Studies have shown that parsley can

effectively combat foul sulfur compounds (Wilson, 2019).

Activated charcoal neutralizes odors, including pet odors, mold and human waste, and

it's much safer than chemical odor neutralizers (Phukan, 2020).

The studies shown that both parsley and charcoal can neutralize odors which makes

these natural ingredients have the capability to be a solution for odors.

SOP 2 : EFECTIVENESS
Figure 3: This figure shows the effectiveness of parsley charcoal shoe deodorizer.

The data above indicates that the conducted study is feasible as there are 26 strongly

satisfied respondents about the product as a good shoe deodorizer alternative as they are

more concern about the side effects of using the conventional shoe deodorizer. 17

respondents are satisfied, 6 neutrals and only 1 respondent is unsatisfied.

The soil contains tiny particles of odor-eating bamboo charcoal. Fungal bacteria in the

charcoal absorbs unpleasant odors in the home rather than masking them with cloying

scents (Hughes, 2011).

The parsley’s deep green color is a sign of ample chlorophyll, which is thought to

have some antibacterial properties. The sulfur compounds that give rise to bad breath are

produced by various strains of bacteria that feast on food deposits and other debris in the

back of the mouth (O’Connor, 2009).,

 The data shows that the parsley and charcoal is a good alternative deodorizer to use as

they are both have the capability to absorb odors and have antibacterial properties.

The data above shows that there are only 8 strongly satisfied respondents, 6

respondents consider it as neutral, 25 satisfied respondents about the product's appearance

since they are looking for a good quality packaging and a single respondent proclaim that

the appearance of the product does not satisfy her or him.

As regarding to product functionality and performance, the appearance of a product

constitutes an important source of competitive advantage and the given data indicates

almost of the respondents are suggesting for more something pleasing aspect of the

product.

Product appearance has been considered a significant factor of influence in the

consumer behaviour, but its impact alongside other factors like cost, features and intrinsic

psychological factors on the decision making has not been in focus. This is especially the

case in the Indian urban context where both consumer behaviour and the influencing

factors have not been adequately studied (Sridhar, 2018)

The data above reveals that there are 24 strongly satisfied respondents about the

product's fragrance considering that charcoal has a plain odour and parsley has that mint

scent, it doesn't give that much essence but can still wipe out bad odors in your shoes.

There are 15 satisfied and 10 people responded that the fragrance of the sample product is

neutral since they are already using conventional products that made them being used on

having a shoe deodorizer with strong scent .

According to Chang (2018), Fragrance is a very important purchasing factor in many

home and personal care products. For products like deodorant, laundry detergent and air
fresheners, what the product smells like is consistently rated as a top purchase driver by

consumers.

The figure above shows that there are 27 strongly satisfied respondents about the

safeness of the product since it was all made from natural ingredients and produced

through natural process. 12 people are satisfied, 10 people included it as neutral and only

1 voted unsatisfied as the product is new and never have been seen in the market.

According to AALAS FOUNDATION, the product safety screening is necessary to

protect consumers from harm when using commercially available personal care products

and household or workplace chemicals. Consumers expect that the products they use in

everyday life are safe when used as directed. Product manufacturers have a moral and

legal obligation to screen products and protect consumers from harm.

 The result of the survey proves that the parsley charcoal shoe deodorizer is safe to

use as this product does not have any bad side effects since they are both known as a

natural odor neutralizer,

SOP 3: PREFERABILITY

Figure 4: The pie graph shows the percentage of reliability of parsley shoe deodorizer

than the other product.

 In the first pie graph, the result shows that 49% of the respondents agrees and strongly

satisfied that the parsley charcoal shoe deodorizer is a good general detoxification, 41%

are atleast satisfied, 6% neutral and 4% of respondents are unsatisfied.

Very few health practitioners realize that as an agent to remove toxins from the body,

charcoal is the best single detoxifier for whole-body cleansing (Dinsley, 2006). Parsley is
very high in the green pigment chlorophyl, which is a detoxifier or chelator of heavy

metals, and a deodorizer, masking odors.

Parsley is excellent for detoxification due to its very high antioxidant vitamins,

avonoids, and pigments (Miles, 2012).

According to the studies mentioned, both parsley and charcoal are excellent in

detoxification which makes these natural ingredients known to the Community. Parsley

and charcoal have been used in different varieties of product such as skin care products,

supplements and natural deodorizers that most people used to detox their internal or

external body.

The second pie graph shows that 47% of the respondents are strongly satisfied that

the parsley charcoal shoe deodorizer has an agreeable good combination of anti-bacterial

ingredients to get rid of foul odors, 41% are atleast satisfied, 10% are neutral and 2%
Unsatisfied.

In the present study, parsley essential oil tested has shown variable degree of

antimicrobial activity on different microorganisms. Therefore using essential oil of

parsley as antimicrobial additives in food may be useful and alternative medical therapy

for microorganisms which may resist customary treatment (Karimi, et al., 2014).

According to Michelle Houp (2020), when charcoal is activated, it binds to toxins

and rids the body of unwanted substances (like drugs or poison). So when it comes to

deodorant, the activated charcoal draws out the bacteria and toxins that cause odor to help

eliminate it.

With the study that has been conducted with other researchers, it was found that the

parsley and charcoal are both have the ability to kill fungi's, bacterias and different

microorganisms. Parsley and charcoal are compatible to combine as an ingredients to an

innovative shoe deodorizer as they also have the capabilities to eliminate foul odors.
 The last chart shows that there are 42% strongly satisfied respondents about the

product being marketable for charcoal and parsley are affordable and are almost available

everywhere. The above data conveys that almost of the respondents are positive that the

sample product is possible of marketing as it satisfy customer’s need and is easy to

manufacture. Winter (2018) found that market provides a key to gain actual success

to those brands which match best to the current environment. Those are products

which can deliver the consumer’s need without any delay. This depends on

availability of good quality products and excellent services, which further attract and

add an opportunity for huge sales
