Introduction
Today, candles are made not only for lighting purposes but for many other uses such as home decor, novelty collections, as fixtures for big occasions (weddings, baptismals, 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.
Significance of the Study
In our country, today more ways are now made to utilize common things in order to make products easier and cheaper. In this research study, used cooking oil is used as an alternative for paraffin wax in candle making.
In the field of science, this study contributes a lot for the reason that we can find alternative for paraffin wax as main component in candle making; besides paraffin was derived from petroleum and the latter is much expensive. This study contributes knowledge to the researchers and also to the community in the sense of finding an alternative way to utilize used cooking oil that may pollute and clog canals and sewerage system if not recycled and used again in essential ways, instead of chemically synthesized sources. It also improves the human condition physically in minimizing the waste oil that pollutes our country.
Hypothesis
1. Is cooking oil effective in making a additive component ? 2. What would be the candle compositions to be used ? 3. What would be the procedure in the making of the candle ?
METHODOLOGY
For an odor-free candle, use olive
