INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study

Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a fruit which was classified as a ripe and unripe. This was usually grown in a place where temperature and the weather are cold. This is abundant in the Philippines particularly in Bukidnon (Camp Philips Area) and this can be brought in the grocery or in the market. This fruit grows from 1-1.5 meters tall with 30 more through shape and pointed that grow from 30-100 centimeters long surrounding a thick stem.

Pineapple waste is a by-product of the pineapple processing industry and it consists of residual pulp, peels and skin. These wastes can cause environmental pollution if not utilized. Recently there are investigations/studies carried out on how to utilize these waste that’s why we turn to a practical use of the Pineapple peeling as stain remover. We observe that people who can’t afford commercialized stain remover use vinegar as alternative. And mostly of the vinegar are made up in coconut, apple and etc. We want to find out if pineapple peeling extract is effective as stain remover. That’s why we come up with this project/ experiment.

    The pineapple plant contains protein-digesting enzymes called, as a group, bromelain. In the health world, these enzymes are regarded as useful in reducing muscle and tissue inflammation (hence the joint pain and wound-healing possibilities), as well as acting as a digestive aid. In the cooking world, on the other hand, bromelain is regarded as the enemy of the gelatin dessert. If you use fresh pineapple in gelatin, the enzyme eats the protein and the gelatin will not gel—in fact…

    This study aimed to produce natural dye from the extract of mangosteen husks and explore the function of fixing agents (mordants). in the dyeing process. Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), a rare fruit known to be the "queen of tropical fruits," contains bitter yellow latex and purple juice. The mangosteen husks, which are put to waste, produce stain. This led to the idea of producing a household product without using harmful chemicals. Literature reveals that mangosteen husks actually contain a substance called tannin, which makes the husks a potential source of natural dye. Using sliced mangosteen husks, an extract was obtained by boiling. The extract was sifted from the solid materials using cheesecloth. A clean, cotton cloth was then subjected to a series of procedures from pretreatment and mordanting down to dyeing with the rnangosteen extract. Alum and copper sulfate were used as mordants. Results revealed that the mangosteen extract was stabilized by both mordants, but copper sulfate was a better fixing agent than alum, because it intensified the color of the extract. It can be concluded that the mangosteen husk extract can…

    As we all know, we are now experiencing global economic crisis especially in third world countries like the Philippines. In line with this, since guava is one of the distributed fruit tree crop in the tropics like the Philippines, the researchers would like to find out if the guava plant is feasible enough as a main ingredient of lotion. If ever successful, this would serve as a milestone for the Filipinos to start a business and have a source of income. The experiment was conducted by having the guavas put in boiled water for five minutes, peeled and put into the blender. Coconut oil was emulsified with beeswax later on mixed with the guava puree together with the preferred scented oil. This lotion was presented and had it surveyed to twelve different people. To know if it reaches the standard, the researchers also surveyed another twelve people to use a commercialized lotion on their skins. With the results averaging 4.02 for the guava lotion and 4.54 for the commercial lotion, we can say that guava is a viable main ingredient of a scrub lotion.…

    After completing the Pineapple Jell-O Enzyme lab, the final results were that the canned pineapple formed the jelly while the fresh pineapple did not. Pineapple In order for this to have occurred, there has to be a comparison between fresh and canned pineapple in terms of their physical and chemical properties. The physical properties of fresh pineapple are that it is sweet, ripe and raw. These properties make fresh pineapples very healthy and delicious to eat. The chemical properties of fresh pineapple are that it contains bromelain, vitamin C, antioxidants, carbohydrates and helps defend the immune system. Bromelain is an enzyme that “promotes the digestive process and helps to break down proteins in foods” (Jomard, 2007). It also breaks “collagen, preventing Jell-O from gelling” (Helmenstine, 2013). It is also used as an anticoagulant, which prevents blood clotting. Fresh pineapples also have “anti-inflammatory properties, which make it useful to reduce pain” (Botanical-online, 2013). Vitamin C is “important to the health of your immune system and enables your body to repair and grow tissue” (Cespedes, 2011). The physical properties of canned pineapple are that they are sweet and “it can be canned in various forms – slices, chunks or crushed” (Dalal, 2008). Canned pineapples are not as fresh or nutritious as fresh pineapples. The chemical properties of canned pineapple are that it is used in gelatin desserts. It does not have bromelain because of the canning process. Fruits that might have the same anticoagulant properties as pineapple are “cherries, cranberries, blueberries, grapes, strawberries, tangerines and oranges” (Simmons, 2012). Each fruit does not provide the same type of action because each provides different types of nutrition. Chefs use chillies to make pineapple jellies is because to add some flavor in the jelly and also that chilli is…

    This project report explains about the surface tension and capillarity of liquid through a simple experiment of finding the capillarity of various detergents. Oil stains and grease on dirty clothes cannot be removed, using water alone, because water does not wet them. If detergents added , surface tension is decreased, the area of contact is increased. Detergent molecules have the shape of a hairpin, one of which is attracted to water and the other end to the molecule of the grease, thus forming a water grease interface and so the surface tension is reduced. The dirt can be removed and carried away by the flow of the water.…
