The Feasibility of Chili (Capsicum frutescens) and Kamias (Hedychium coronarium) as Mosquito Killer

Background of the Study: This study is done by the researcher to give importance to the chili and kamias fruit. Not just in food, but the researcher wanted to produce a mosquito killer out of them. For all we know that chili has been tested and proven to be the one good ingredient in mosquito killer making and what if it is added by the acidic property of kamias fruit? The researcher wanted to know the effect of the combined property of each fruit. Statement of the Problem: This study aims to determine the effect of the said mosquito killer (chili and kamias). Especially it will answer the following questions: 1) Does the said mosquito killer (chili and kamias) is cheaper than the commercial ones. 2) Will this mosquito killer (chili and kamias) can affect the health/kill the person who accidentally took it.

Hypothesis: 1) This mosquito killer (chili and kamias) is cheaper than the commercial ones because the materials/ingredients used to produce this is cheap and are abundant in tropical countries like the Philippines. 2) Side effects will occur if accidentally taken by anyone. Significance of the Study: The said mosquito killer (chili and kamias) was made to compete to the commercial ones which were expensive. And help our country, for we have plenty of chili and kamias. Definition of Terms: antiscorbutic-a remedy for scurvy poisonous-toxic or venomous; harmful; having the qualities or effects of poison Scope and Limitations: If this study is already done, not only the poor ones can use it, also the rich ones. Not just because it s

cheaper but also on its effectiveness. Methodology: Materials: kilo of kamias fruit 1 kilo of chili mortar and pestle kettle gas stove product container Procedure: The researcher collected and prepared all the materials needed. The researcher then pounded the kamias and chili separately and gets their extracts. After pounding the kamias and the chili, the researcher boiled the two extracts separately for 5 minutes. Then the researcher mixed them and poured them inside the container. Review of related literature: In the past chili was used only as spices because of its taste. Later on, it was discovered as a good mosquito killer because of its pesticidal property. While kamias (ginger lily) was also used in food spices before. Later on, it was discovered by Battistelli in 1939 that it has properties such as astringent, stomachic, refrigerant and antiscorbutic. Some of the researchers now are having kamias as wine but in this study the researcher wants to test the properties of the kamias fruit together with the chili.

With the highest number of dengue cases is the Quezon City, Quezon City and Metro Manila. DoH record, on 10 487 historical cases of dengue in Metro Manila from January this yearcompared to August 6 last year in 5416 only. This study aims to prevent the continuous increasing number of dengue cases in MetroManila using a simple, affordable, and effective mosquito killer that can make anyoneanytime and an ywhere.

Only a few species of female mosquitoes bite humans and animals, needing blood for the development of the eggs inside their bodies. Actually, males and females of many species sip only plant juices. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors so choose light-colored clothing when you are outdoors. A female mosquito passes contractible diseases, such as malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever, and encephalitis to her eggs. Once a mosquito ingests infected blood, she will contract the disease within 10 days.

A Chemistry Poem
Submitted by: annie10102 Author: By: Bailey Gillespie I'm reading a book by Jay Wile That feels about as thick as a mile It's a chemistry course, And reliable source, I sure am enjoying his style. The characteristics we see Of chemicals in chemistry Are works of God's hand, And part of His plan, For the earth to function for me. The way atoms all seem to dance In molecules inside of plants Is one of the ways, God meant to amaze, That couldn't have happened by chance. Experiment with metals like chrome Experiment with mixtures like foam
