Title: Anti-bacterial effects of Citrus mitis B. (calamansi), Cucumis sativus L.

(cucumber), Lycopersicon Lycopersicum (L.) K. (tomato), and Capsicum
annuum L. (siling-haba) extracts against selected pathogenic organisms

Notes/Important Information: All extracts especially calamansi proved to be
effective against the test organisms and had the greatest zone of inhibition
against Klebsiella pneumoniae of 41.3 mm. and 35.3 mm. against Salmonella
typhi. Cucumber extract on the other hand did not produce any inhibition against
Klebsiella pneumoniae and Shigella sp. Siling-haba extract was successful in
inhibiting the growth of the test organisms but did not produce as much
inhibition compared to the other fruit extracts.

Notes/Important Information: Calamansi juice collagens were more viscous
compared to others. The extraction of threadfin bream collagen for 12 hrs using
calamansi juice generally leads to collagen characterized by pleasant odor,
reasonably high yield and more viscous. Therefore, natural source such as
calamansi juice could be an alternative medium for collagen extraction.

Denture Cleaners versus Lemon and Calamansi as Complete Denture
Cleaning Agents

Notes/Important Information: Results showed that there is no significant difference
in between commercially available denture cleaners and citrus materials for
reducing the amount of plaque in complete denture. Citrus materials are just as
effective as commercially available denture cleaning agents .

Notes/Important Information: We found that the rind of calamansi plant contains
tannins, and these tannins can be extracted using maceration and with water as
solvent. We also concluded that anti-inflammatory property of tannins from
calamansi rind is effective in increasing doses of 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg.

Title: Synergistic Activity of Calamansi (Citrofortunella microcarpa), Riped Guava
(Psidium guajava) and Gumamela (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) Flower Extracts as
Body Scrub

Notes/Important Information: Riped Guava (Psidium guajava) and Gumamela
Flower (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) are highly recommended to a person with dry
skins and dead skin cells. It’s also safer and economical than the commercial
body scrub (Glam Works). The researchers concluded that the mixture of
Calamansi (Citrofortunella microcarpa), Riped Guava (Psidium guajava) and
Gumamela Flower (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) extracts is effective as an alternative
body scrub. Applying 10 ml of calamansi, 15 ml of riped guava and 15 ml of
gumamela flower extracts is effective as an alternative body scrub.
