University, Indang, Cavite, March 2003, "UTILIZATION OF BEESWAX IN THE PRODUCTION OF SHOE POLISH."Advisers: Dr. Mila Cueno, Prof. Dulce Ramos
The study was conducted at Libres' Residence in Barangay 4, Indang, Cavite from October-November 2002 to utilize beeswax in the production of shoe polish. It also aims to (a) prove that beeswax can be used as an ingredient in the production of shoe polish; (b) determine the best treatment that would give the best result of shoe polish from beeswax; and (c) compare the texture, shine and waterproofing ability of the produced shoe polish to the commercial KIWI.
The proportions used in the study were: Treatment 0 or Control Treatment (75 ml Kiwi commercial shoe polish;) Treatment I (60 grams beeswax, 50 ml turpentine, 10 grams black dye;) Treatment 2 (120 grams beeswax, 50 ml turpentine, 10 grams black dye;)
Treatment 3 (180 grams beeswax, 50 ml turpentine, 10 grams black dye.)
The results of the study indicated that beeswax could be used as an ingredient in making shoe polish. Treatment 3 was the most effective according to the mean scores of the sensory evaluation done by the researchers. It was also proven that the produced shoe polishes were not as acceptable as those of the commercial shoe polish in terms of texture and shine, but in terms of waterproofing ability, it is as good as the commercial ones.
