Nipa Palm
Investigatory Project
The price hike for oil products has caused problems for consumers. The oil products for transportation purposes are not an exemption like the use of gasoline, diesel, and other products. The use of alternative energy resources is one of the solutions to this energy crisis.
This study attempts to make a kind of diesel additive that can be used for the production of bio-diesel. The study uses an extraction of oil from the nipa palm tree scientifically known as nipa fructicosa or nipa fructucans and locally known as sasa and mixed with a proportionate amount of diesel to produce a form of bio-diesel. The nipa palm tree (nipa fructicosa) is found along the tidal streams, brackish swamps and muddy banks throughout the Philippines.
The research used tree experimental samples of the mixture labeled A, B, and C. the oil extract from the seed of the nipa palm treeis mixed with diesel using the following ratio of 70:30, 60:40, and 50:50. Each experimental sample contained a mixture 100ml of an extract of nipa fructicosa seed extract and diesel oil and flame tested. The substance produced from the mixture of nipa palm seed oil and diesel is a form of bio-diesel.
Nypa Frutican Seed Components
Zinc Corrosion Inhibition: Study showed Nypa fruticans leaves extract and DPC (diphenyl carbazone) inhibit the corrosion of zinc comparatively, possibly through the protonation of the hydrogen evolution process or formation of a soluble complex on zinc surface by molecules of N. fruticans or DPC.
Antioxidant Capacity: Evaluation for antioxidant capacity showed total phenolic and flavonoid content of immature fruits were higher than mature fruits. The immature fruits showed a high DPPH radical scavenging activity and antioxidant capacity, even higher than BHT and mature fruits.
Ethanol Production from Sap: Study evaluated the production of ethanol from the sap. With its incredibly high sugar-rich sap yield, researchers estimated 15,000 to 20,000 liters of
