Project Title: The Coffee bean (Coffea Arabica L.

) extract as an alternative Bio-fuel

Proponents: De Jesus, Ryza B.

Gatdula, Cherry Anne Kim V.

Rebayla, Eisen Temy M.

Marcos, Karl Raphael B.

Project Cost (assumed): 10000 Peseos

Significance: The benefit of using coffee bean extract as an alternative material in making

Bio-fuel can contribute to the individual organization, environment, and others.

It can help us to breathe in the fresh air and it can prevent illness and some diseases

in our respiratory and cardiovascular system. It can also contribute to our

surrounding and to lessen inorganic fuels.

Objectives: The researchers desire to determine if the extract of the coffee bean (Coffea arabica

L.) Has a potential to be a biofuel. This study wants to achieve the following goals:

1. To know if the extract of the coffee bean (Coffea arabica L.) can be used in

making organic bio-fuel

 2. To know if the other part of the coffee bean (Coffea Arabica L.) can be used in

making organic bio-fuel

3. We aspire that it can help our surroundings become less affected by the harmful

effects of air pollution.

4. And to know if the extract of the coffee bean (Coffea Arabica L.) can run a

vehicle

Hypothesis: The researchers work is stated on the following null and alternative forms of

Hypothesis:

Ha: The researchers hypothesize that coffee bean extract has a property that

makes it viable for use as bio-

Ho: The researcher hypothesize that the coffee bean extract cannot be use for Bio- fuel.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

A coffee bean is a seed of the coffee plant and the source for coffee. It grow all over the

world particularly in Central/ South America, Africa and Asia. Coffee beans are seed of the

coffee fruit, often known as the coffee cherry. These bean-like seeds are usually dried, roasted,

and brewed to make coffee. Coffee bean is rich in chemical composition because it contains

chlorogenic acid, hemicellulose etc. Coffee bean are packed with antioxidants, the most

abundant being chlorogenic acid. The chlorogenic acid may reduce your risk of diabetes and

combat inflammation. Eating coffee beans in moderation is perfectly healthy but eating too

much may cause problems. In additional to that certain compounds in coffee beans can cause

stomach upset in some people because of some compounds like catechols present in coffee bean

have a high stomach acid. While caffeine in coffee beans can give you much- needed energy

boost that can also lead to sleep problems. Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages in the

world. This is due to its distinctive aroma and flavor which readily attract although some are

intrigue for its caffeine content.

Biofuel is any liquid fuel derived from biological materials that substitutes conventional

fuels, petroleum, and coal. They are used as alternative to fuel but what makes it better because

biofuels are more eco-friendly. Biofuels main components are biodiesel, ethanol, and methanol.

So in this data or information gave, the researchers an abstraction if the extract of the coffee bean

can be used as a biofuel.

Tannin Present

Polyphenols Present

Monosaccharide Present

Hemicelluloses Absent

Cellulose Present

The table shows that the extract of the coffee bean contains chemicals such as Lipids,

Tannin, Polyphenols, Monosaccharide, and Cellulose. The chemical Lipids contains

hydrocarbon, example of lipids are fats, oil, and waxes. The chemical Tannin are a class of

astringent, polyphenolic biomolecules and precipitate proteins and various other organic

compound including amino acids and alkaloids. While the chemical polyphenols found in

organic material, monosaccharide which is related to sugar, and the cellulose from energy crops

into biofuels such as cellulosic ethanol is under development as a renewable fuel source. This

chemicals that found in coffee bean (Coffea arabica L.) has a potential to make an organic fuels

known as biofuel.
METHODOLOGY

I. Acquisition of coffee bean (Coffea Arabica L.)

Acquire coffee cherry, extract the pulp of the coffee bean (coffea Arabica L.). The

bean should only have its parchment skin left on. It should be dried for at least

overnight

or best leave it for 48 hours.

II. Extraction of the Coffee Bean (Coffea Arabica L.)

After the preparation, extract the coffee bean (coffea Arabica L.). The researchers

have decided with using four methods: first, pound it with a mortar and pestle. Second,

the researchers will use the soxhlet extraction. Third, grinding the coffee beans then

squeeze it. And lastly, using the residue of coffee and filtering it to be use as extract. This

is done to see the efficiency of each method for extracting the coffee bean.

III. Application of the Coffee bean’s extract as bio-fuel in vehicles

The obtained extract will be place on different fuel containers and will be labeled

accordingly. They will be use on a gas powered appliance and their run time will be
 measured.

IV. Collection of the Data

After the application, the researcher record the time and duration of the fuels that

were extracted in different methods.
