Investigatory Project: THE FEASIBILITY OF MAKING SHOE POLISH OUT OF USED COOKING OIL AND CALAMANSI JUICE
ABSTRACT
This study aims to use used cooking oil as shoe polish rather than just throwing it away (which can cause drainage clogging). Calamansi juice is also added to add more viscosity to the product. This study also promotes natural and organic products.
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the study:
Oil is one of the basic needs in our home. Yet, it is very expensive nowadays. Now, as a student researcher, I want to conduct an experiment on how to use used cooking oil in a very convenient, practical and useful way. That’s why I chose it to become a shoe polish. Since oil can become a drainage clogger when thrown in the sink, why not recycling it though some colloidal particles are still visible due to frequent frying?
Shoe polish is widely used by people especially by students, office workers, etc/ on their leather shoes. But the commercial shoe polishes were made of chemicals which can harm human’s health if used recklessly.
Statement of the Problem:
1) Is using used cooking oil an effective ingredient for shoe polish?
Hypothesis:
1) Used cooking oil can be recycled conveniently by combining it with calamansi juice.
2) Used cooking oil is feasible as a shoe polish.
Significance of the Study:
This study aims to use used cooking oil through making it into a shoe polish though its phase was already in its least. This study also aims on organic shoe polish with only using sources commonly available in our own homes.
Scope and Limitations:
This study only limits on the feasibility of using used cooking oil with calamansi juice as shoe polish. The calamansi is only used for adding more viscosity.
Definition of Terms:
◘volatile- the tendency of a substance to vaporize. It has also been defined as a measure of how readily a substance vaporizes.
◘viscosity- is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being
