Used Cooking Oil as an Additive Component of
Candle
Abstract
The study aims to produce a low-priced, high-quality
candle by using used cooking oil as a major
component. The following candle compositions were
used: 100 percent paraffin wax; 90 percent paraffin
and 10 percent oil; 80 percent paraffin and 20
percent oil; 70 percent paraffin and 30 percent oil; 60
percent paraffin and 40 percent oil; 50 percent
paraffin and 50 percent oil. The firmness, texture,
and light intensity of the candles were tested and
compared.
Used Cooking Oil as an Additive Component of
Candle
Results of the tests showed that the candle made
from 100 percent paraffin wax had the lowest melting
rate, lowest amount of melted candle, and a light
intensity of 100 candelas (cd). The 90:10 preparation
had the next lowest melting rate and amount of
melted candle. The other preparations ranked
according to the proportion of used cooking oil in the
candle, with the 50:50 preparation performing least
comparably with the 100 percent paraffin wax candle.

CHAPTER IV: Analysis and
Interpretation of Data
TITLE: Kalamansi Peels Into Citro-Candy
Table & Graph
Pictures
The researchers found out that the science concept
involved in recycling kalamansi peels into a delicious citrocandy is its nutritive value for human nutrition. About 75%
of the ascorbic acid of this fruit is contained in the peel based
from the titration test and iodine conducted on the extracted
juice from the peelings. The pulp and juice were also tested
and it was found out that they contain lesser amounts of
ascorbic acid. The peel based on the literature says that it
contains the highest carotenoids, around 50-75% of the total
amount of carotenoids in the fruit.
CHAPTER IV: Analysis and
Interpretation of Data
Futhermore, the vitamin C present in kalamansi peels
has specific roles in our body:Vitamin C prevents poisoning
in the blood, prevents scurvy and helps wound heal faster.

Interpretation of Data
CHAPTER IV: Analysis and Interpretation of
Data
INTERPRETATION OF DATA:
The results show that the test tube B with the milk and E.
Coli specimen had the largest colony of bacterial growth whereas test
tube C with milk, the E. Coli specimen and garlic extract did not
show any signs of bacterial growth. Test tube A showed some small
signs of bacterial growth probably due to contamination during the
incubation period.
CHAPTER IV: Analysis and Interpretation of
Data
ANALYSIS OF DATA:
Based from the experiment done by the researchers, it showed
that garlic can retard or minimize bacterial growth. The size of
the bacterial colony where garlic was added did not reach 10 mm.
Furthermore, based on the similar studies conducted on fresh
garlic says that it can also kill the antibiotic-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella enteritidis in the
laboratory. Thus, can help in the prevention and possibly cure for
some diseases like gout, rheumatism, hemorrhoids, asthma,
bronchitis, fungal infections, warts, and corns.
