ABSTRACT
In doing the Investigation, the first thing that the researchers did was to think of a unique idea that will get the costumers interested. After having some idea, they must create some problem thats why theyve come up a to that kind of Project. There are some chemicals considered to make a useful floorwax. We need to have an alternative innovation for the alternative product

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
The discovery of recycling things can help community. Nowadays, people are encountering poverty and also, we must maintain cleanliness in our home and in our school. Some people use floorwax to make their floor shinier. They feel so comfortable when they finish cleaning their house but the smell of the floorwax making them uneasy. So, they thought of an idea where in they will make an ecofriendly floorwax that does have this pleasant aroma. This Investigatory project also wanted to help our dying rivers such as Marikina River and Pasig River. In their Investigatory project, they will use the oil from the Janitor fish instead of kerosene. Janitor fish is plagued in Marikina River and now threatening to run riot across delicately balanced eco system of Asia. This study is a common investigatory project but they thought of an alternative of kerosene, which is by the way flammable. Then they realized that they could use Janitor fish oil as bio-fuel because it has similarities to the eco-diesel. The research about the Janitor fish is the Investigatory Project of Raymond Joseph Amurao, who won the third place in the 2006 Intel International Science and Engineering fair in Indiana, USA.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The study addressed to the following specific question: A) What are the components of the revised floorwax to make it eco-friendly? B) What are the chemicals needed to form a floorwax.

FORMULATION OF THE HYPOTHESIS

If the improvised floorwax doesnt have a pleasing smell then it is not effective at all

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Poverty is the prime investment, helping other recycle and not to waste their used products most people think that adapting a healthy and well conditioned is expensive and difficult to achieve. Making an improvised product is not easy because people must find another material that is more sufficient than the original one. This research will help the ecosystem and our surroundings because it does not have any harmful substances; it also makes a pleasing fragrant because of the banana peel. This will also help people to save money because we could only find the materials needed commonly inside our home. This could help our world be balanced because nowadays, Janitor fish is known to be pests in our rivers. The significance is just how one resourcefully utilizes the cheap, the natural abundance of nature, and the untiring quest to alternatives and remedies.

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

The extraction of the Janitor fish is the alternative for kerosene. Kerosene has a displeasing smell to us. The kerosene is the main reason why the floor waxes smell bad and the banana peel contains crude fiber that makes the floorwax smoother and shinier. The Investigators wanted to find what are chemicals that their alternative product have.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
a) Pandanus Amaryllifolius Ot is also known as Pandan. It gives good aroma and b) Musa Sapientum c)

REVIEW OF THE RELATED LITERATURE
Biodiesel fuel is gradually replacing petroleum-based diesel oil use. Despite the biodiesel being considered friendlier to the environment, little is known about its effects in aquatic organisms. In this work we evaluated whether biodiesel exposure can affect oxidative stress parameters and biotransformation enzymes in armored catfish (Pterygoplichthys anisitsi, Loricariidae), a South American endemic species. Thus, fish were exposed for 2 and 7d to 0.01mLL(-1) and 0.1mLL(-1) of pure diesel, pure biodiesel (B100) and blends of diesel with 5% (B5) and 20% (B20) biodiesel. Lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde) levels and the activities of the enzymes glutathione S-transferase, superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase were measured in liver and gills. Also, DNA damage (8-oxo7, 8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine) levels in gills and 7-ethoxyresorufin-Odeethylase activity in liver were assessed. Pure diesel, B5 and B20

blends changed most of the enzymes tested and in some cases, B5 and B20 induced a higher enzyme activity than pure diesel. Antioxidant system activation in P. anisitsi was effective to counteract reactive oxygen species effects, since DNA damage and lipid peroxidation levels were maintained at basal levels after all treatments. However, fish gills exposed to B20 and B100 presented increased lipid peroxidation. Despite biodiesel being more biodegradable fuel that emits less greenhouse gases, the increased lipid peroxidation showed that biofuel and its blends also represent hazards to aquatic biota.

METHODOLOGY AND PROCEDURE
In acquiring the study of the wax, constant research was done. Facts were gained from books and computer resources. The abundance of the said products which most of the time left out wilted aroused a curious mind thus the research drew its concept. A series of trial and error process was made wherein ingredients must been observed. There are also different ways on extracting a fish. They have different tools and apparatuses.

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

CHAPTER V
SUMMARY
There are many inventions that are accepted in our society today but there are things that we need to considerate. These inventions must be eco-friendly because of our environment, must be

time saving and cheap. Those things are needed to achieve to have some attracting projects. The researchers project is qualified but there are things that are not good in the project itself. The Investigators project talks about helping our community to be clean and organized. The Janitor fish in known to be a pest here in Marikina so they thought that they could use its oil for the floorwax.
