Cooking Oil and Investigatory Project
Cooking Oil – Made
Candle
(Focusing on Thermal Physics and Energy)
An Investigatory Project in Physics By:
Introduction
Today, candles are made not only for lighting purposes but for many other uses such as home décor, novelty collections, as fixtures for big occasions (weddings, baptismal , etc.), and as scented varieties for aromatherapy. Candles are made from different types of waxes and oils. Cooking oil is a major kitchen item in Filipino households. It is also used substantially in fast-food outlets, where it is used in different stages of food preparations. Ordinarily, used cooking oil is discarded. This waste oil pollutes and clogs canals and sewerage systems. The sound of cooking oil as the prime material for making candles may sound cliché. Yet, in this investigatory project, we will prove that cooking oils can be made to candles.

Objectives
The study we made was not just made for the completion of our physics requirement but also to let everyone open their minds in the possibility of a greener nature. This is our objectives:
* The role of the consumer-producer relationship in maintaining a market for sustainable products.
* The role of consumers’ attitudes toward eco-friendly goods.

Significance of the Study
As for consumer attitude toward green purchasing, I believe the key issue is whether consumers” get it”. Do consumers who purchase sustainable products (like cooking oil made candles) do so because it’s” hip” to be green, because the candles are chic, because they feel pressured to turnover a new leaf by climate change headlines, or because they believe in the sustainability of sustainability?
While any of these motives is better than none at all, it’s not

    Some of the challenges currently faced by industry include: • Marketing of “green”, or environmentally safe, products. The environmental movement has become a global institution. Consumers are concerned about the possible negative impact that products or processes have on the environment. They do not want to be perceived as contributing to the problem and therefore, many will not patronize companies which they believe are producing environmentally unsafe products. Madu and Kuei[6,7] note that environmental quality has become a critical competitive element in business.…

    The purpose of this experiment is to isolate the essential oil from eucalyptus leaves as a pure compound; moreover, the components of the essential oil, camphor and limonene, will be then separated using gas chromatography technique, identify the components by their retention times, and compute for the concentration and percentage content of each component by their peak areas and peak heights. The volatile oil from eucalyptus leaves was isolated with the use of steam distillation setup, then using a separatory funnel to pipette out the extract from the distillate. A gas chromatography, with nitrogen gas as the carrier gas and a flame ionization detector, was used to separate and characterize the components of the essential oil. The retention times, peak areas, and peak heights were obtained for qualitative and quantitative analysis. A percentage of 0.05% and 2.85% were obtained as the content of camphor and limonene in the extracted oil, respectively. It also goes to show that limonene has greater concentration than that of camphor in the essential oil extract. Indeed, steam distillation and gas chromatography techniques are essential methods for extracting essential oils and separating natural compounds from plants.…

    According to source 3, consumers are 58 percent more likely to purchase products or services from a company that is mindful of its impact on the environment and society. Even for those companies that do not specialize in eco-friendly products or services, experts say their efforts to launch an environmentally friendly campaign could not only help reduce energy use and operating costs, but it could also attract environmentally conscious consumers who remain appreciative of companies that have made the first step in reducing their carbon footprints. Again source 3 lists the advantages of going green for the private sector citizens who are trying to start businesses of their own. By going green small, businesses will have a competitive edge over their bigger competitors.…
