Abstract
This investigative project aims to invent a new form of an alternative or a substitute for
the commercial dishwashing liquid using the Banana (Musa Sapientum) Peelings. In this, the
sufferings from buying commercial dishwashing liquid that contributes to our daily cost and the
suffering that we face in using detergent bar in plates will be lessen or will be decrease. Instead
of using harmful chemicals in manufacturing dishwashing liquid, we replaced it with Banana
peelings as an effective cleaning agent. Through this we can help to ease the case of water
pollutions because 70% of the Earth is water.
Even this project has a very great contribute and help, there are a lot of factories that
doesn’t concern about what will happen in every rime that they discharge the chemicals that
they used in manufacturing dishwashing liquids. It may lead to water pollution then after, the
fishes and other aquatic living things will be affected. This are the main problem in water
pollution. As a citizen of this nation, we have obligations to our country and nature that’s why
we came up with this project that will surely lessen the use of chemicals in making dishwashing
liquid.
Specifically, this investigative project aim to; A.)Determine the Feasibility of Banana
peelings as an alternative or substitute for the commercial dishwashing liquid. B.)Assess the
banana peelings dishwashing liquid and commercial dishwashing liquid in terms of its odor,
cleaning agents and the effectiveness in greasiness and oiliness of an individual plate. C.)
Compare Musa Sapientum Dishwasher to commercial ones.
Only Banana (Musa Sapientum) Peelings and Washing Soda was used in this project. The
study employed; 1.Preparation of the product ; 2.Analyses of the product ; 3.Evaluation Of The
Musa Sapientum Dishwasher.
The procedure is easy and can be done easily through the help of the available materials
found in our kitchen. ½ Kilogram of banana peelings were gathered , cut into small pieces ,
blendes or pounded using mortar and pestle. Filtrate the blended peelings on a filter paper or
clothe and extract the liquid and place in a boiler. Mix until it thickens, let it cool completely.
We can add any essential oils and food color of we desire.
Based from the researches and study conducted the following results determined that the
Banana peelings can be used as an alternative for the commercial dishwashing liquids and
product was assess through testing the sample.
We therefore conclude that our finished product “Musa Sapientum Dishwasher” has the
feasibility to be an alternative dishwashing liquid for the commercial ones.

A.Background of the study
Our nature , our place of living our life – the Earth, is fully affected by changing
technologies , factories and other industrialized plants. The discharged chemicals from a vast
number of factories on our river and other water phases was continously destroyed and damaged,
all the chemicals contributes majorly for the destruction of our water phases- the Aquatic living
things died because of the harmful properties of a chemical.
This study aims to produce an eco-friendly dishwashing liquid. It emphasizes to help the
world problem- the water pollution. Nowadays, people often used branded dishwashing liquid or
detergent bar in washing plates but they don’t know the consequences in using it.
In this wide search, the researchers found that there is a key to the problem – water
pollution which may be found in Banana Peelings.
3. Assess the banana peelings dishwashing liquid and commercial dishwashing liquid in
terms of its odor, cleaning agents and the effectiveness in greasiness and oiliness of an individual
plate.

C. Significance of the Study
Water pollution is one of the most major issues the world is facing nowadays, which
leads to death of the aquatic living things that will greatly affect us in terms of Fisheries and if
not stopped it may lead to terrible global changes.
This project will significantly help the environment ease the chemical problems that
causes water pollution , price hike and health problems like gastrointestinal diseases.
We did not study about how long does our product will endure (months/years), but we
test it and it is really effective dishwasher.
Formulation of Hypothesis
1. Banana Peelings dishwashing liquid can be a good substitute for commercial dishwashing
liquid with it same properties like odor, cleaning properties and effectiveness to
greasiness and oiliness.
2. Banana Peelings dishwashing liquid can be an efficient bacterial killer.
3. Banana Peelings dishwashing liquid is cheaper and easy to make that the commercial
dishwashing liquid.

Definition of Terms
a.PEELINGS-skin or covering of anything. Can define as parings, shavings, barks, husks,
wrapping, shells or crusts.
b.DISHWASHING LIQUID-from the root word dish and wash , a thing used to wash a dish
usually liquid.
c.GREASINESS- can define as fatty, slippery and slimy. A dirt usually from a plate.
d.OILINESS- can define as the texture of athing and a dirt from fatty foods.
Washing Soda- (also known as washing soda, soda ash and soda crystals), Na2CO3 is
a sodium salt of carbonic acid. It most commonly occurs as a crystalline heptahydrate, which
readily effloresces to form a white powder, the monohydrate. Sodium carbonate is domestically
well known for its everyday use as a water softener. It can be extracted from the ashes of many
plants.
Polyethylene Glycol- PEG is the basis of many skin creams (as cetomacrogol)
and personal lubricants (frequently combined with glycerin).
PEG is used in a number of toothpastes as a dispersant. In this application, it binds water and
helps keep xanthan gum uniformly distributed throughout the toothpaste.
PEG is also under investigation for use in body armor, and in tattoos to monitor diabetes.
PEG is also one of the main ingredients in paintball fills, due to its thickness and flexibility.
However, as early as 2006, some Paintball manufacturers began substituting cheaper oil-based
alternatives for PEG.

Summary And Conclusion
In summary , banana peeelings with the ingredients of dishwashing liquids have been
proved from this investigatory project that it could be an effective yet cheap dishwashing liquid
from the data gathered through researches and investigations. It can help us to solve the water
pollution and its further problems.
We therefore conclude that our finished product “Musa Sapientum Dishwasher” has the
feasibility to be an alternative dishwashing liquid for the commercial ones, because base on our
findings and results it implied that “Musa Sapientum Dishwasher” can eliminate Gresiness and
oiliness versus the Max Glow And Detergent Bar .
