Abstract:Shoe polish is used to shine, to maintain the appearance and to sustain the quality of the shoes. Based on the information in the written articles, banana peels can be used to shine shoes so the researcher decided to come up with the study of making a shoe polish out of banana peelings. The study aimed to produce a cheaper but better alternative shoe polish.The researchers used banana peels, kerosene and candles in making the product. In making the product, first, melt the candles. While in a low fire, combine the kerosene and extract of the banana peels with the melted candle. After stirring the mixtures, let it cool and harden. Then the shoe polish is ready to use.The researchers made a test by comparing the shoe polish made out of banana to the commercial shoe polish. Data analysis revealed that 0.20 -12.706. Thus, the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted in which, banana peels can be used an alternative shoe polish.The researchers confirmed that banana peel can be made into a shoe polish but the commercial shoe polish has a slight difference from the banana (Musa Paradisiaca) peel shoe polish. Therefore, it can only serve as an alternative shoe polish |

To perform the experiment, the
