Making Cooking Oil from Moringa Seeds: Conclusions and Recommendations
Chapter V
Conclusions and Recommendations This chapter shows the researchers’ conclusion and recommendations in the study of making cooking oil from moringa seeds.
Conclusions
After the data have been collected, analyzed and interpreted, the researchers therefore conclude that:
1. There is a significant difference between the moringa oil and the commercial oil in terms of quality. This proved that moringa seed is effective as an alternative in producing quality cooking oil.
2. Set-up A which is moringa oil yielded a higher mean based on the evaluation done by randomly selected people than Set-up B which is commercial oil. This further made the researchers conclude that our product is better than the commercial one.
Recommendations
To further improve and enrich our project, we recommend the following:
1. Gather as many seeds as you can to extract a larger amount of vegetable oil.
2. Dry the seeds to yield better quality oil.
3. The making of the paper was made with the use of a Soxhlet Extractor and a Rotary Evaporator; therefore future researchers must follow carefully the right procedures.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a significant difference between our product and the commercial one. This research is aimed to provide healthier organic oil made from malunggay. Our study is to solve problems concerning low quality oils. The researchers conducted two set-ups which are moringa oil and cooking oil. Seeds were gathered at Rizal and Tuguegarao. The equipments needed are provided on the science laboratory of our university. The procedure includes extracting the oil through solvent extraction with the use of a Soxhlet extractor and separating the solvent and the oil by using a Rotary evaporator. To test the purity of the oil, we used a flame test and it showed that the solvent is completely separated from the oil. In each set-up, three replicates were provided. To see if there is a significant difference

    Oregano is a traditional herb that is known for its natural immune support. Its oil contains carvacrol, a monoterpene phenol that serves as its primary germ-killing ingredient, and it provides many of the health benefits of the oregano. It also contains thymol, a powerful substance which is also a monoterpene phenol and is a natural fungicide with antiseptic properties. Esters are also strong antifungal agents, and two of these are abundant in oregano oil, namely linalyl acetate and geranyl acetate. Together, these substances make oregano oil a great natural alternative to treat infections. These substances also made the researchers see the potential of oregano oil as a possible…

    Anise oil was successfully able to be extracted from anise seeds during this experiment. It was done by first crushing the seeds, then placing them into a distillation apparatus. The distillation apparatus evaporated the liquid from the seeds, which was captured in a flask. Next, DCM was added to the distillate, which allowed the water to be separated from the anise oil. Finally, the DCM evaporated and the pure anise oil was collected.…

    It has been proven that cinnamaldehyde from cinnamon oil has a very high potential in the pharmaceutical industry, aside from its well known role in the food preparation, specifically as spice, odorant and colorant. Several researches have proven the antimicrobial activity of cinnamaldehyde against Salmonella typhimurium and Bacillus subtilis (Council of Europe, 2008). Also, cinnamaldehyde has been proven to inhibit microbial growth of opportunistic human pathogenic fungi, such as Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans and Rhizopus oligosporus, and various bacteria (Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, and others) (Khan and Abourashed, 2011). Several studies have also unraveled the hypoglycemic (insulin-like) and hypolipidemic properties of cinnamaldehyde since it can cause: elevated glucose oxidation and uptake, causing decrease in blood plasma…

    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.…

    against bacterial species and fungal species have shown that the antibacterial effect was higher against fungal species. In a study by Karim, Asma and Kamal et al., (2016) in vitro antimicrobial activity of Sudanese Cucumis melo L. fixed oil was investigated. Agar cup diffusion assay was performed against two fungal species (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger), two gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and two gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Ampicillin, gentamycin and clotrimazole were used as positive controls. Antimicrobial activity was shown by all the species except E.coli and P. aeruginosa. Oil showed a highest activity against Candida albicans with an inhibition zone of 19mm and a partial activity of 12mm against Staphylococcus aureus. A similar study was done in Bangladesh on the isolation, physico-chemical characterization and microbial activities of melon (Cucumis melo) seed oil (Ahamed et al., 2014). The antimicrobial activity was studied on four bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi and Bacillus cereus) and four fungal species (Aspergillus funiculosus, Fusarium equiseti, Curvularia lunata and Alternaria alternate). Oil samples of 1% and 10% showed activity against all test microbes except for Curvularia lunata. From bacterial species, highest inhibition zone (19 mm) was observed…

    Vegetable oils like coconut oil and safflower oil traditionally used in different parts of the country due to their proximity to farm growth centres, are products where traditional management has been very successful. Coconut oil has been essentially an oil used for consumption mainly in Kerala and neighbouring areas in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Keralites living in foreign countries specially, the Gulf and the Middle East also consume this product practically every day. Similarly, safflower oil has been in use mostly in western and central India as these areas cultivate sunflower farms. Coconut oil has been one of the main ingredients in Ayurvedic preparations for skin care and related products, prescribed by Ayurveda doctors in some parts of the country, specially Kerala. The skin nourishing qualities of coconut oil is a well known fact and to develop that concept into a number of hygiene and cosmetic products needed a well thought out strategy. Perhaps, it is this deliberate policy of converting ordinary products into branded products by value addition or even value creation has been the business model for Marico.…
