    This document outlines a research project investigating the feasibility of using mucilage extracted from Mammillaria cacti as a bio-lubricant and rust remover. The objectives are to determine if Mammillaria mucilage can effectively remove rust in a low-cost and low-risk manner. The significance is that it could benefit consumers by providing an affordable yet effective rust remover, producers by creating a product with minimal investment, and future researchers studying bio-lubricants. The methodology and scope of the study are then described.

    INTRODUCTION
    Rust refers to a reddish coating formed on iron
    when exposed to moist air (Merriam-Webster
    Dictionary, 1978). When oxygen comes into
    contact with a metal (such as iron), it causes
    oxidation and the formation of rust. Rust reduces
    the product's effectiveness and degrades the
    metal's quality (Department of Physics, University
    of Illinois,2011).
    A bio-lubricant is a lubricant
    produced from plants such as okra, flax
    seeds, and cacti that biodegrades and is
    non-toxic for human beings and other living
    organism (Department of Ecology, State of
    Washington,2019). Mucilage cells are found
    in the epidermal cells of Mammillaria
    species and are common in many cacti
    (Janu, et al., 2011).
    Cactus (family Cactaceae) has
    more than 2000 species and 175
    genera. Cacti are native in places
    that are either tropical o subtropical
    as they adapt well in dry regions. The
    internal structure of cactus follows
    the pattern of broad-leaved
    angiosperms; a cambium dividing
    the cells in between woody inner
    tissues are existent (Encyclopedia,
    Britannica 2019).
    ARAICO PHARMACEUTICAL | VACCINES
    Mucilage are said to be common in many cacti
    (Biological Science, Texas 2019). Mammillaria is of the
    largest genera in the cactus family. It currently has 171
    species known with other varieties getting known every
    year. In some kinds whose epidermal cells are sinuous,
    mucilage substance can be extracted (Janu, et al., 2011).
