This study aims to produce a natural dishwashing liquid soap made from orange peel extracts and hibiscus petal extracts as a cheaper alternative to commercial soaps. The researchers hypothesize that the soap will not be generally acceptable. Orange peels and hibiscus petals will be blended with water and vinegar to make the soap. The soap will then be tested on kitchen utensils in a small cafeteria to see if it can effectively remove grease and stains, and to determine its general acceptability. The study seeks to create a cheap, natural dishwashing product and reduce food waste by using otherwise discarded orange peels and hibiscus petals.

The Problem and It’s Background
I.Introduction
Washing dishes is one of the major household chores, our parents are facing every day. One of the hardest part of washing dishes are the tough stains and grease that is all over the common kitchen tools we use in our everyday life. Dishwashing liquid is a great help to minimize the time of removing those tough stains and grease on our kitchen tools. This days the price of things are getting expensive like dishwashing liquid so the researchers thought of making dishwashing liquid so that researchers can see how much money can save when researchers make dishwashing liquid soap out of orange peels and gumamela petals. The Researchers thought of researching how to make dishwashing liquid out of nature and not chemicals. This study aims to produce a dishwashing liquid out of orange peels extract and gumamela petals that will remove the stains and grease in common kitchen tools. The Researchers will make dishwashing liquid out of orange peels and gumamela petals by peeling the orange and put the peels of orange to the pot with ¼ cup of vinegar in the mixture and mix it and then grind the gumamela petals using mortar and pestle and researchers can also used a flat surface stone as a surface a round one to grind petals, mix the gumamela petals into the mixture and put the mixture in the bottle.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
This study aims to produce a dishwashing liquid out of nature and not chemicals. The Researchers will use these orange peels and gumamela petals to make something new like dishwashing liquid, the orange peels and gumamela petals will help the researchers in making dishwashing liquid it is fragrant, chemical free and environmental- friendly especially the youth, to develop any biodegradable and/or non-biodegredable materials that would otherwise be thrown away and turn them into new products and also people’s can save their money from not buying some expensive dishwashing liquid.
3 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study aims to determine the General Acceptability of Orange (Citrus x Sinesis) peels extracts and Gumamela (Hibiscus) petals as Dishwashing Liquid Soap in terms of removing those though stains and grease on common kitchen tools.
STATEMENT OF THE HYPOTHESIS
General Acceptability of the Orange (citrus x sinesis) peels extracts and gumamela (hibiscus) is not acceptable as dishwashing liquid.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The study will produce a new kind of dishwashing liquid that is completely organic. It will make use of Gumamela petals mixed with water and Orange peels extract to produce a dishwashing liquid that is chemical free yet effective in removing stain or grease present in common kitchen tools at the most affordable price compare to the commercial brand sold in the market. The dishwashing liquid will be making use of Orange peels extract and Gumamela petals which are being ignored if not use as ornamentals. So, this will help people not to waste the Orange peels ang Gumamela petals and make it more useful.
SCOPE AND LIMITATION
The researcher investigatory project focused on how to make an alternative
dishwashing liquid from Gumamela petals as well as Orange peels extract. The purpose of this study was to make dishwashing liquid. This project covered the materials, procedures and systematic ways that shows and informs everyone using the Gumamela petals and Orange peels extract can be component in producing alternative dishwashing liquid. This study tackled the advantage and disadvantage and of course the possibilities of using the alternative dishwashing liquid. The limitation of the study revolve only on the production of the dishwashing liquid.
4 THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
Saponification process is one of the process where the researchers get the idea. Saponification process is a type of conversation where a fat is converted into soap. It is hydrolyze with alkali to form a soap and glycerol. In this study the fat or the oil used was the Gumamela petals extract. The idea of the researchers that the viscosity of the Gumamela petals extract will help on producing such cleaning product with additional of other extract liquid such as Orange peels extract, to produce a dishwashing liquid with a good smell and a good variety on cleaning dishes and other kitchen wares. The other idea that the researcher believed was though ability of the Gumamela petals to produce bubbles that will help the dishwashing liquid to be more presentable to wash dishes.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Bottle – container used to place the mixture
Cup – tool used to measure how much water and vinegar were putting in
Dishwashing liquid - also known as dishwashing soap, dish detergent and dish soap is a detergent used to assist dishwashing
Gumamela petals – organic ingredient used to bubbles the dishwashing liquid
Grease – melted animal fat
Mortar and pestle – tool used to grind gumamela petals
Orange peels – organic ingredient used to make dishwashing liquid
Odor – a particular smell
Saponification – a chemical reaction in which an ester is heated with an alkali (especially
the alkaline hydrolysis of a fat or oil to make soap)
Its show the process that we used to test our product and this product will be test in a small carenderia where a lot of kitchen tools are washed to see if it can effectively remove grease and stains from the kitchen tools. Furthermore our product is highly acceptable as dishwashing Dishwashing Liquid Soap.
