ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to know the acceptability of Abelmoschus Esculentus

as Dishwashing Liquid with Citronella Scent Academic Year 2018-2019.

This research study seeks to answer the following questions: (1) What are the

materials needed in making Abelmoschus Esculentus as Dishwashing Liquid? (2) What

are the step by step processes in making Abelmoschus Esculentus as Dishwashing

Liquid? (3) What is the level of acceptability in terms of functionality and solubility? (4)

What is the level of acceptability as rated by the respondents as such: household and

dishwasher? (5) Is there a significant difference on the level of acceptability in terms of:

functionality and solubility? (6) Is there a significant difference on the level of

acceptability as rated by the respondents as such: household and dishwasher?

The conceptual framework of the study is presented in the form of Input, Process

and Output (IPO) which consists of three frames. The first one consists of the materials

needed. The second one includes the step by step processes. Lastly, the third one consists

of the product, Abelmoschus Esculentus as Dishwashing Liquid with Citronella Scent.

Experimental design of research was used in this study. The researchers

administered questionnaires to 10 dishwashers and 10 households from Pila, Laguna. The

interpretation of the data was obtained through the use of two different solutions, which

are the weighted Mean and Standard Deviation and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). To

determine the verbal interpretation, the researchers used Likert Scale.

The result of acceptability of Abelmoschus Esculentus as Dishwashing Liquid

with Citronella Scent in terms of functionality as rated by dishwasher and household was

very functional. While the result of acceptability of Abelmoschus Esculentus as

Dishwashing Liquid with Citronella Scent in terms of solubility as rated by dishwasher

and household was very soluble. Based on the result, there is no significant difference on

the level of acceptability in terms of Functionality and Solubility. Another result found is

that functionality and solubility have no significant difference on the level of

acceptability as rated by the respondents as such Household and Dishwasher.

Therefore, the researchers accepted the Null Hypothesis. As the result

shows, it is more expensive to make a homemade okra dishwashing liquid compared to

the products available in the market. However, homemade dishwashing liquids keeps

your skin safe from harmful chemicals that comes with commercially-available

dishwashing liquids. The okra dishwashing liquid was proven to be effective and gentle

on the skin, so it is recommended for the people to buy organic dishwashing liquid in

order to prevent the various chemicals contained in liquid that can damage the skin.
