Citrus Fruits As Anti Bacterial Hand Sanitizer: Science Investigatory Project

This document presents a science investigatory project on using citrus fruits as an antibacterial hand sanitizer. It discusses using ingredients like aloe vera gel, ethyl alcohol, and calamansi zest to make a citrus hand sanitizer. The researchers chose citrus fruits because they contain vitamin C and are inexpensive and easy to find. The study aims to determine if the citrus hand sanitizer is effective against bacteria and affordable compared to other products, and to identify any side effects. The hand sanitizer would benefit students, hospital workers, and others who need easy access to germ removal when soap and water are not available.

CITRUS FRUITS AS ANTI BACTERIAL

HAND SANITIZER

SCIENCE INVESTIGATORY PROJECT


TRIBDINO L.AIRON
ABELLA D.B. JOHN ANDREW
VILLON A. MARK JEROME
INTRODUCTION and BACKROUND
• Introduction
• Earlier, whenever the people’s hands used to get dirty, people used to go
in searchof a good soap and water. This used to become a great
inconvenience especially when travelling. Water spills and soap not getting
rinsed properly and of course, water wastage, all these factors contributed
to the discovery of something called as hand sanitizer.
• Background of the Study
• The researchers chose the citrus fruits to make it into a Citrus Hand
Sanitizer because the season today is where most citrus fruits bloom.
Another factor why the researchers chose this study because of the
protein of Vitamin C most citrus fruits have from common illnesses like
colds, cough, etc. Third, Citrus fruits are easy to find and are cheap.
Fourth, you can easily find them from local grocery stores and/or markets
per kilo, sliced, peeled, mixed with other fruits, canned, and/or juiced
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The researchers need to solve the following problems:
Main Problem:
1.How cheap will it be compared to other hand sanitizer?
Sub-problems:
1. How effective is the citric hand sanitizer compared
with other products?
2. Does it have side effects?
3. Does the Citrus Hand Sanitizer can make hands dry
SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF STUDY

• The study covers how citrus fruits can be used


as a hand sanitizer and to know the health
benefits when it is used to be a hand sanitizer,
the side effects arise when using the hand
sanitizer. Other than that, the study will not
cover topics beyond the scope of the research.
SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY

The people who will benefit from the hand sanitizer are
students, from pre-school to college.People who live in
squatter’s area, condominium units, small and big
houses. People who work as part-time or full-time.
People who work on hospitals like doctors, nurses,
janitors, and even patients. Bank employees, security
guards, salesman or women, police officers, etc. Even
people who don’t have jobs and senior citizens. The
Citrus Hand Sanitizer can be significant by helping our
hands to be clean and germ free. Instead of using soap
and water, we can use this hand sanitizer in travelling,
in school, in malls, etc. whenever, wherever.
MATERIALS
