(5) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Commercial dishwashing liquids are at a high cost, each year the price
percentage increases, making it difficult for consumers to balance their budgets
and afford them. These raises concern about the finances of the people,
especially when useful products are in high demand. With, the researcher
thought of an alternative way by making alternatives. The researcher came up
with a solution, which is to make an alternative dishwashing liquid and test its
effectiveness. Zingiber zerumbet, also known as bitter ginger, is traditionally
found throughout Asia. The extract present in the inflorescence (leaf sheaths) is
rich in surfactants. Compounds such as flavonoids and terpenoids are present in
the plant and capable of making a potential dishwashing liquid. This study of
making an alternative dishwashing liquid out of Bitter ginger extract will involve
3 experiments.
(6.1) RATIONALE/SIGNIFICANCE
Commercial dishwashing soap prices have been increasing as
time goes by. Philippines Dishwashing Soap and other products are
expected to grow during the forecast period. However, the high cost
of productions and stringent regulations related to lead content are
restraining the growth of this market (6Wresearch,2023).
The Global COVID-19 pandemic was unprecedented and
staggering, with dishwashing liquids experiencing higher-than
anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic
times (Business Research,2023). Some of the commercial
dishwashing liquids and soap contains chemical contents that may
harm both the environment and human well-being. Dishwashing
soaps, especially those marketed for professional use, can be more
expensive than household alternatives.
The researcher found a great potential of bitter ginger extract
in making an alternative dishwashing liquid. The success of this study
can be known as an alternative way in removing grease food in
plates.

(6.3) OBJECTIVES
Statement of the Problem
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Bitter ginger (Zingiber
zerumbet) extract as an alternative dishwashing liquid. This answers the following
specifically:
(8) METHODOLOGY
A. Variables and Parameters

This study focuses on larvicidal ,and repellent activities of makahiya plant leaves
extract against housefly larvae.Various variables are used such as
makahiya(Mimosa pudica) leaves extract for independent variable.Mean count of
dead larvae as dependant variables.
B.Treatments
B.1 extract with alkaline water
15 ml of Makahiya leaves extract - 5 ml of alkaline water
10 ml of makahiya leaves extract - 5 ml of alkaline water
5 ml of makahiya leaves extract - 5 ml of alkaline water
C.1 The researchers use the procedures to know the effects of the
makahiya plant (mimosa pudica). The
researchers breed eggs using the DOST OL trap. While the Makahiya leaves
are collected in Ocaña Camangcamang,Carcar City Cebu,Philippines. the
researchers sort the larvae into three different samples. each of the samples will
consist of 5 of the larvae respectively. the researchers spray the varying amounts
of makahiya leaves extract on the 3 setups of the larvae. In setup1,the researchers
pour 5 ml of makahiya leaves extraction the 3 setups respectively. In setup 2, the
researchers pour 10 ml of makahiya leaves extraction the 3 setups accordingly. in
setup 3 the researchers pour 15 ml of makahiya leaves extract n the 3 setups
separately.
(9) EXPECTED OUTPUTS AND POTENTIAL IMPACTS
As housefly larvae a nuisance with association found in human activities, community,
newly build factories, piggeries, society and even houses to houses and these fly diseases are
becoming more rampant and relevant in the Philippines, we researchers, and as students have
come up to an idea and thought about the possible alternative way of executing housefly and
preventing the risk of these diseases to human beings.
Mimosa pudica typically known as Makahiya plant, has shown a
higher larvicidal potential against housefly larvae, its extract is an effective ovicidal/larvicidal
among housefly larvae. Housefly diseases such as food poisoning, dysentery, diarrhea, anthanax,
cholera, typhoid fever, conjunctivitis, salmonellosis, shigellosis, tuberculosis, posses a significant
health concerns among people and a large proportion of the human population is exposed to these
infectious diseases. This implies that makahiya leaf extract can be an effective larvicidal repellent
against housefly larvae to control the population and execute this specific species of housefly.
