Our research project

Being able to overcome our research project had never been easy. We have to undergo many obstacles to complete it. We have to let our teachers check our grammars and formatting. As a leader, the pressure is really great. We also have to spend a lot of many for printing and for photocopying. That money was taken from our own pockets. There are times that we are afraid to ask from our parents because the amount of money was really big. Sometimes before our parents would give they would have a long litany. There are also times that we want to surrender but we can’t because our grades depend on it. So no matter what happens we have to continue. Being young scientists in our own little way is really amazing. We have to stay late to comply with the corrections of our teachers. It is so complicated. A change on a page would affect all. To give you a little background of our study and how complicated it was, here is a short description of it. After reading this. I’m sure you would surely wonder how we made it through young as we are. You would also be amazed how critical thinkers UPIANS are. We’ve made it through and we are all proud of ourselves that despite the misfortunes, we can still make a difference in this world of wonders. We also hope to improve our country in our own little ways. Our project is entitled “EFFECTIVENESS OF YLANG-YLANG FLOWERS AS COCONUT DEODORIZER”.
Ylang-ylang flowers are known to be flowers with soothing fragrance. These flowers are found in tropical countries like the Philippines and they bloom all year round. Ylang-ylang flowers have a relaxing scent and are used in aromatherapy. On the other hand, coconut oil is known to be a good massage oil that soothes the skin but, the smell is not good.
The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of ylang-ylang flowers as coconut oil deodorizer. The findings of the study may contribute to the development of ylang-ylang scented coconut oil which could encourage some people to use coconut oil for hair and body massage.
The study has three batches with different mixtures of ylang-ylang extract and coconut oil, each contains the same amount of coconut oil to varying amounts of ylang-ylang extract. In obtaining the data of this study, three ml of coconut oil was mixed with different amount of ylang-ylang. The scents of the mixtures were smelled and were checked weekly. Coconut oil was separated from the mixture using a separatory funnel and was put in a vial. The study also compared the dominance of ylang-ylang scent in each mixture of each batch and determined the mixture with the strongest ylang-ylang dominance.
The conclusion was that ylang-ylang is an effective coconut oil deodorizer. In order to have a scented coconut oil the ratio 3:9 this means 3 ml coconut oil to 9 ml ylang-ylang extract.
It is recommended that people and industries use ylang-ylang flowers in scenting mixtures like hair and massage oils.
