The Feasibility of Adelfa Extract as Pesticide
Vivencio C. Fuentes Jr., Razelle Angela B. Camitan, Honey Jane T. Dela Cruz
ABSTRACT
The project aims to test the feasibility of extracts from the adelfa plant as pesticide. The leaves were cut from the stem and then subjected to steam bath.
Soxhlet apparatus was used for extraction; methanol was used as solvent. The extract was then distilled, and diluted into 4 containers to obtain concentrations of
100%, 75%, 50% and 25%. There were 6 set-ups, each with 10 cockroaches, one positive control set-up, in which the group used commercial pesticide, one negative control set-up, containing water, and one each for the different concentrations of the extract. The experimental results provided evidence for a conclusion that the extract with the higher concentration killed more cockroaches. There is a significant difference between the percentage of cockroaches killed before and after the application of the adelfa extract. The adelfa extract has a significant effect on the percentage of killed cockroaches.

Celery seed Extract as active ingredient in tanning lotions
Christian John Immanuel S Boydon, Dennis C David, Gerard Paul T Dela Cruz
ABSTRACT
A tanning lotion with celery seed extract as active ingredient was concocted in order to find out if it could be an effective but less expensive substitute to commercial tanning lotions. Celery seeds were bought from AMSA Seed company and extract was obtained using soxhlet extraction technique. Sesame oil, coconut oil, an emulsifier and the celery seed extract were then mixed together, before adding distilled water and lanolin.
The lotion was initially tested on the upper arm area to check for any allergic reaction or irritation on the skin. The comparative testing for color change included using no tanning lotion, using the celery seed extract tanning lotion, and using the commercial tanning lotion on three human test subjects
