Abstract

This investigative project aims to invent a new form of an alternative or a substitute for the
commercial dishwashing liquid using the Banana (Musa Sapientum) Peelings. In this, the sufferings from
buying commercial dishwashing liquid that contributes to our daily cost and the suffering that we face in
using detergent bar in plates will be lessen or will be decrease. Instead of using harmful chemicals in
manufacturing dishwashing liquid, we replaced it with Banana peelings as an effective cleaning agent.
Through this we can help to ease the case of water pollutions because 70% of the Earth is water.

SUMMARY
Musa Sapientum is a research effort that uses banana peelings to create a new type of alternative or
substitute for commercial dishwashing detergent. We can assist to alleviate the problem of water
contamination by doing so, as water makes up 70% of the Earth's surface.

Even this project has a very great contribute and help, there are a lot of factories that doesn’t
concern about what will happen in every rime that they discharge the chemicals that they used in
manufacturing dishwashing liquids. It may lead to water pollution then after, the fishes and other aquatic
living things will be affected. This are the main problem in water pollution. As a citizen of this nation, we have
obligations to our country and nature that’s why we came up with this project that will surely lessen the use
of chemicals in making dishwashing liquid.

SUMMARY
There are many factories that are unconcerned about what will happened when they release the chemicals
used in the manufacture of dishwashing products. It may result in water contamination, which will have an
impact on fish and other aquatic life.

Specifically, this investigative project aims to; A.) Determine the Feasibility of Banana peelings as an
alternative or substitute for the commercial dishwashing liquid. B.) Assess the banana peelings dishwashing
liquid and commercial dishwashing liquid in terms of its odor, cleaning agents and the effectiveness in
greasiness and oiliness of an individual plate. C.) Compare Musa Sapientum Dishwasher to commercial ones.

SUMMARY
This research study intends to: A.) Evaluate the feasibility of banana peelings as just a replacement or for
commercial dishwashing liquid. B.) Compare the odor, cleaning agents, and effectiveness of banana peelings
dishwashing liquid with commercial dishwashing liquid in removing greasiness and oiliness from a single
plate. C.) Compare and contrast Musa Sapientum Dishwasher with commercial dishwashers.

Only Banana (Musa Sapientum) Peelings and Washing Soda was used in this project. The study
employed; 1. Preparation of the product; 2. Analyses of the product; 3. Evaluation of the Musa Sapientum
Dishwasher.

The procedure is easy and can be done easily through the help of the available materials
found in our kitchen. ½ Kilogram of banana peelings were gathered, cut into small pieces, blends or pounded
using mortar and pestle. Filtrate the blended peelings on a filter paper or clothe and extract the liquid and
place in a boiler. Mix until it thickens, let it cool completely. We can add any essential oils and food color of
we desire.
SUMMARY
12 kg of banana peelings was collected, sliced into small bits, blended, or mashed with a mortar and
pestle. Filter the liquid from the mixed peelings using a chromatography paper or cloth. Allow to cool
completely before adding lavender oil and food coloring.

Based from the researches and study conducted the following results determined that the Banana
peelings can be used as an alternative for the commercial dishwashing liquids and product was assess
through testing the sample.

We therefore conclude that our finished product “Musa Sapientum Dishwasher” has the feasibility to
be an alternative dishwashing liquid for the commercial ones

SUMMARY
"Musa Sapientum Dishwasher" does have the potential to be a substitute for commercial dishwashing liquids.
The sample was used to evaluate the product. Banana peelings could be used as a substitute for commercial
dishwashing detergents, and the product is safe to eat.
Introduction

A. Background of the study

Our nature, our place of living our life – the Earth, is fully affected by changing technologies,
factories and other industrialized plants. The discharged chemicals from a vast number of factories on our
river and other water phases was continuously destroyed and damaged, all the chemicals contribute majorly
for the destruction of our water phases- the Aquatic living things died because of the harmful properties of a
chemical.

This study aims to produce an eco-friendly dishwashing liquid. It emphasizes to help the world
problem- the water pollution. Nowadays, people often used branded dishwashing liquid or detergent bar in
washing plates but they don’t know the consequences in using it.

In this wide search, the researchers found that there is a key to the problem – water pollution which
may be found in Banana Peelings.

SUMMARY
The goal of a study is to develop an environmentally friendly dishwashing liquid. It underlines the importance
of addressing a global issue: water contamination. The key to the problem, according to researchers, is water
contamination, which can be detected in banana peelings.

B. Statement of the Problem

This project generally endeavors to manufacture a high-quality substitute for the commercial
dishwashing liquid from banana peelings and perform physical analyses to test its cleaning properties
through comparative analyses.

Specifically, this project endeavor to:

1.Control the water pollution.

2. Determine the Feasibility of Banana peelings as an alternative or substitute for the commercial
dishwashing liquid

3. Assess the banana peelings dishwashing liquid and commercial dishwashing liquid in terms of
its odor, cleaning agents and the effectiveness in greasiness and oiliness of an individual plate.

SUMMARY
This study aims to make a high-quality replacement for commercialized dishwashing liquid from banana
peelings and assess its cleaning properties using physical analysis. The project's goal is to reduce water
pollution and evaluate odor, cleaning agents, and the effectiveness of a single plate's greasiness and oiliness.
C. Significance of the Study

Water pollution is one of the most major issues the world is facing nowadays, which leads to death
of the aquatic living things that will greatly affect us in terms of Fisheries and if not stopped it may lead to
terrible global changes.

Here in the Philippines pollution is greatly caused by improper expulsion of chemicals from factories
and other industrial unit or plants.

This project will significantly help the environment ease the chemical problems that causes water
pollution, price hike and health problems like gastrointestinal diseases

SUMMARY
Water contamination is among the most pressing concerns facing the globe today. It is possible that if it is
not stopped, it will result in catastrophic world changes. Improper chemical expulsion from industries and
other manufacturing areas or plants is a major source of pollution. The initiative will aid in the alleviation of
chemical issues that result in water contamination, price increases, and health issues.

D. Scope and Limitation

This study deals with Banana (Musa Sapientum ) specifically its peelings. The banana
peelings were gathered when we eat banana or in a banana cue stand.

We gathered evaluations on how effective the banana peelings as a dishwashing liquid, and also how
bacteria will react when they are washed using the Musa Sapientum Dishwasher.

We did not study about how long does our product will endure (months/years), but we test it
and it is really effective dishwasher.

SUMMARY
We got feedback on how well banana peelings work as a dishwashing liquid and how germs behave when
they're washed in the Musa Sapientum Dishwasher. We did not conduct research into how long our product
will last (months/years), but we did test it and found it to be a very effective dishwasher.

Formulation of Hypothesis

1. Banana Peelings dishwashing liquid can be a good substitute for commercial dishwashing liquid with its
same properties like odor, cleaning properties and effectiveness to greasiness and oiliness.
2. Banana Peelings dishwashing liquid can be an efficient bacterial killer.
3. Banana Peelings dishwashing liquid is cheaper and easy to make that the commercial dishwashing liquid.

Review of Related Literature

Banana - Musa sapientum or Banana is one the most widely recognized and consumed fruits in the world.
They are considered valuable both for their nutritional qualities as well as their economic qualities, and they
come in a variety of colors, flavors and sizes. Not only the banana fruit is useful, but also its skin. Banana skins
are composed of nutritional, non-nutritional contents and minerals. Banana peels have become a supply of
nutrients for animal feedstock and a fertilizer. Banana peels have special cleaning properties that make them
a tremendous environmentally friendly cleaning product. The fibrous part (cellulose) of banana peel is one of
its cleaning properties. It helps clean walls and other materials. The moist peel of a fresh banana contains
many useful cleaning enzymes and organic cleaning chemicals that are not only effective, but are safe for the
environment. One nice thing about banana peels is that they give a fresh, pleasurable scent to your home.
Banana peels are also recyclable, which makes them completely risk-free to the environment

SUMMARY
Banana peels offer unique cleaning characteristics that make these a fantastic eco-friendly
cleaning tool. They're also recyclable, so there's no risk of them harming the environment.
Banana peels have the added benefit of providing a fresh, pleasant aroma to your home.

Washing Soda - (also known as washing soda, soda ash and soda crystals), Na2CO3 is a sodium salt of
carbonic acid. It most commonly occurs as a crystalline heptahydrate, which readily effloresces to form a
white powder, the monohydrate. Sodium carbonate is domestically well known for its everyday use as a
water softener. It can be extracted from the ashes of many plants.

SUMMARY
The common usage of sodium carbonate as a softener is well known. Many plants' ashes can be used to
extract it. The solution of sodium of carbonic acid, Na2CO3, is usually found as a crystalline hydrochloride.

Polyethylene Glycol - PEG is the basis of many skin creams (as cetomacrogol) and personal lubricants
(frequently combined with glycerin). PEG is used in a number of toothpastes as a dispersant. In this
application, it binds water and helps keep xanthan gum uniformly distributed throughout the toothpaste.
PEG is also under investigation for use in body armor, and in tattoos to monitor diabetes. PEG is also one of
the main ingredients in paintball fills, due to its thickness and flexibility. However, as early as 2006, some
Paintball manufacturers began substituting cheaper oil-based alternatives for PEG.

SUMMARY
Many skin treatments and personal lubricants contain polyethylene glycol (PEG). Due of its thickness and
flexibility, PEG is also one of the key constituents in paintball fills. PEG is being replaced by cheaper oil-based
replacements by several paintball producers.
METHODOLOGY
Materials Needed; This study used the following materials; weighing scale, blender (mortar
pestle), Beaker, Stirring Rod, scissors, boiler(pot), funnel and improvised bottle (as a container).

Summary And Conclusion

In summary, banana peelings with the ingredients of dishwashing liquids have

been proved from this investigatory project that it could be an effective yet cheap
dishwashing liquid from the data gathered through researches and investigations. It can help
us to solve the water pollution and its further problems.

We therefore conclude that our finished product “Musa Sapientum Dishwasher” has
the feasibility to be an alternative dishwashing liquid for the commercial ones, because base
on our findings and results it implied that “Musa Sapientum Dishwasher” can eliminate
Gresiness and oiliness versus the Max Glow and Detergent Bar.

SUMMARY
In comparison to the Max Glow and Detergent Bar, the "Musa Sapientum Dishwasher" can eliminate
greasiness and oiliness. It has the potential to assist us in resolving water pollution and related issues. The
resulting substance has the potential to be a substitute for commercial dishwashing liquid.
