Advisers: Dr. Josefina R.Rint Prof. Dulce L. Ramos.
A study entitled “Effects of Varying Concentrations of Scents, Polyethylene Wax and Crude Tallow in Candle Making” was conducted in Tambo Malaki and Agus-os, Indang and Anabu 1-A, Imus, Cavite from the first week of September to the third week of October to produce quality but affordable tallow-based candles. Specifically, it aimed to: (1) determine the concentrations of crude tallow needed to produce acceptable tallow- based candles; (2) determine the concentrations of scents needed to produce acceptable tallow-based candles; and (3) assess the quality of produced candles as perceived by the respondents. Five treatments were used in the study. In experiment I, Typ was made of 750 grams of paraffin wax, 22 grams of polyethylene wax and 10 ml of apple scent. T, was made of 300 grams of crude tallow, 5.0 grams of polyethylene wax and 10 mL of apple scent while T, with 300 grams of crude tallow, 5.0 grams of polyethylene wax and 15 mL, of apple scent. T; was made of 300 grams of crude tallow, 5.0 grams of polyethylene wax and 20 mL. of apple scent. T, was composed of 300 grams of crude tallow, 5.0 grams of polyethylene wax and 25 mL of apple scent. In experiment I, however, To was made of 750 grams of paraffin wax, 22 grams of polyethylene wax and 10 mL of apple scent was made of 300 grams of crude tallow, 5.0 grams of polyethylene wax and 25 mL of apple scent while T, was made of 350 grams of crude tallow, 5.5 grams of polyethylene wax and 25 mL of apple scent. T; was made of 400 grams of crude tallow, 6.0 grams of polyethylene wax and 25 mL of apple scent while T,; was made of 450 grams of crude tallow, 6.5 grams of polyethylene wax and 25 mL of apple scent.
The physical properties of candles were determined based on odor and luminosity of the candles. General acceptability in terms of odor and luminosity was determined through respondents while the rate of liquefaction and smoke intensity was done through some other tests. The statistical tools used in analyzing the data were Completely Randomized Design (CRD), Friedman’s Two-way ANOVA and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT).
Analysis of the mean ranks showed that Tp was superior to the other treatment combinations in terms of odour, luminosity, general acceptability and rate of liquefaction.
However, the tallow-based candles were superior in terms of smoke emission.
