CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
In recent years, the environmental concerns and the pursuit of sustainable and eco-friendly
solutions have led to an increasing demand for alternative products derived from natural sources.
As a response to this, the researchers have explored various renewable materials for the production
of everyday commodities. One such area of exploration is the use of fruit-derived components for
the development of alternative floor wax. The study aims to investigate the feasibility of utilizing
the peel of actinidia deliciosa (kiwi) and carica papaya L (papaya) along with extracts from cocos
nucifera (coconut oil) and citrus limon (lemon) to create a sustainable and biodegradable floor wax.
By harnessing the natural properties of these fruits, this research endeavors to contribute to the
One of the few components of commercial wax are cresol, formaldehyde, and hazardous
chemicals like nitrobenzene, perchloroethylene, phenol, toluene, and xylene. Inhaling cresol posed
significant health risks, as it had been demonstrated to induce kidney and liver harm in humans with
According to Shikha et. al. (2018), fruits and vegetable waste are present at various points in
the supply chain and that can differ significantly based on the processing involved. Within the fruit
and vegetable processing sectors, there is a 10-60% generation of waste or by-products, existing in
both solid and liquid states. It is crucial to ensure that these waste materials are effectively utilized
to maximize benefits without incurring financial losses or causing harm to the environment.
Through a comprehensive analysis of the physical and chemical properties of the resultant
wax, this study seeks to establish the potential of fruit-based wax as a viable alternative to

Actinidia deliciosa (kiwi) are nutrient-dense fruits, and during earlier times, substantial
study on the health advantages of actinidia deliciosa (kiwi) fruit has connected frequent intake to
benefits for digestive, immunological, and metabolic health in addition to increases in nutritional
status. The vitamin C content of kiwis is exceptionally high, and they also contain a variety of
other nutrients, including levels of dietary fiber, potassium, vitamin E, and folate that are
phytonutrients, and enzymes that have positive effects on both function and metabolism. Actinidia
deliciosa (kiwi) peel, with higher content of phenolics and flavonoids, exerts more potent
antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticancer activity than the flesh. Our study provides scientific
evidence for the development of kiwifruit, especially peel-based, novel natural products with
excellent bioactivity.
The fruit cocos nucifera (coconut oil), is characterized by a fibrous husk (mesocarp)
enclosing a sizable seed or inner stone. The name "coconut" is also used to describe the entire
enormous seed, including the hard, green endocarp that covers it, as well as the edible, valuable
economically, white, fleshy component of the seed known as the "meat" or endosperm, which
encircles the hollow, liquid-filled center cavity. Liquid endosperm, a flavorful liquid that is cloudy
yet transparent and has a viscosity somewhat thicker than water, abundantly fills the empty center
of the fruit.
Citrus limon (lemon) has beneficial medicinal, cosmetic, and gastronomic (healthy food)
characteristics. Following a brief introduction to the genus citrus, details are provided about the

agents. Their natural antimicrobial and antioxidant properties can contribute to the overall hygiene
and protection of the floor surface. Cocos nucifera (coconut oil) has excellent emulsifying
properties that facilitate the blending of the ingredients, resulting in a smooth and consistent wax
texture. The binding properties of coconut oil can enhance the durability of the floor wax, making it
more resistant to wear and tear. Citrus limon (lemon) extract possesses antimicrobial properties that
can help in maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the surfaces coated with the floor wax. The
inclusion of citrus limon (lemon) extract can add a fresh and pleasant aroma to the floor wax,
When combined, these ingredients can be processed to create a natural floor wax that not
only effectively cleans and protects the floor but also contributes to maintaining a healthier indoor
environment, as they are free from harmful synthetic chemicals often found in commercial floor
waxes. In addition, Alcaraz et. al. (2019) stated that due to the absence of a structured analysis of
occupational hygiene and comprehensive data on workplace exposure, it remained unclear which
cleaning-related exposures could trigger or exacerbate asthma and other respiratory complications.
Lastly, the biodegradable nature of these components ensures a reduced environmental footprint,
making the floor wax an eco-friendly and sustainable choice for households and businesses.

Theoretical Framework
The Zero Waste Hierarchy was created by the Zero Waste International Alliance (ZWIA) as
a framework to tackle the escalating issues stemming from unsustainable waste management
methods and the mounting environmental consequences of worldwide waste production. ZWIA's
formulation of the Zero Waste Hierarchy underscores its dedication to advocating for sustainable
generation, and facilitating a global shift toward a more sustainable and circular economic model.
By aligning the use of fruit peels as an alternative for floor wax with the principles of the
floor wax products, promote the reuse of natural waste materials, and integrate sustainable waste
management practices to minimize the environmental footprint of floor care maintenance. This

Liceo de San Pablo
Additional ingredients and additives: This includes other materials that might be added to the
natural floor wax formulation, such as coconut oil, carnouba wax, or emulsifiers. The variations in
the types and quantities of these additional ingredients could influence the overall performance and
Processing methods: The techniques and procedures used in the extraction, preparation, and
mixing of the fruit peel and fruit extracts, as well as other ingredients, could impact the chemical
composition and physical properties of the final floor wax product. Factors such as temperature,
duration of extraction, and mixing procedures can all affect the quality of the wax.
By systematically altering these independent variables and examining their effects on the
quality of the natural floor wax, one can better understand the optimal combination of ingredients
and processes required to produce a high-quality, effective, and eco-friendly floor wax.

The researchers interpreted the ANOVA results, the F-value represents the variance ratio
between the groups to the variance within the groups. A larger F-value indicates a greater
difference between the group means relative to the variation within each group. The F critical value
is a threshold used to determine whether the observed F-value is large enough to reject the null
hypothesis. Suppose the calculated F-value exceeds the critical value, and the associated p-value is
less than the chosen significance level (often 0.05). In that case, it suggests strong evidence against
