calamansi background of the study
A. Background of the Study Body odour (esp., foot odour) is the body’s unpleasant smell that is caused by bacteria. The main cause of this is foot sweat. Actually, sweat itself is odourless, but it creates a beneficial environment for certain bacteria to grow and produce bad-smelling substances. These bacteria are naturally present on our skin as part of the human flora. More smell is created with factors that cause more sweating such as wearing shoes and socks with inadequate air ventilation for many hours. Hair on feet, especially on toes may contribute to the odours’ intensity by increasing its surface area where bacteria can thrive. Foot powder is a type of sweat-absorbing powder that helps prevent or remove foot odour. But some common foot powders aren’t as absorbent as the ideal foot powder. Some irritates the skin and some are expensive enough for consumers to reject. So therefore, the researchers thought of making such Calamansi Peel Foot Powder to provide a cheaper and a skin-friendly prevention for foot odour.
Calamansi, calamondin, Philippine lime – this versatile citrus fruit is the secret ingredient to many mouthwatering Filipino delicacies such as pancit palabok, Leyte kinilaw, beefsteak Tagalog, and arroz caldo. One of the most basic Filipino dipping sauces is made with soy sauce and calamansi juice, called toyomansi; and a simple, yet flavorful marinade is a blend of soy sauce, calamansi juice, vinegar, pepper, and garlic.
While many growers see the calamansi as tiny decorative oranges and mostly ornamental, they are finding that the trees are problem free and easy to cultivate both indoors and out. They thrive inside the house in containers, as well as planted in the ground in tropical areas and zones with only occasional mild frosts. Calamansi is the result of a rare natural cross between two closely related genera, the Citrus and the Fortunella, and carries the characteristics of both the parents. The Fortunella parent, Kumquat, lends a
