Introduction
Sampaguita flowers are blooming almost everywhere in the Philippines. Nevertheless, only a few people are knowledgeable of the full uses of this plant. Around the globe, many researches have already been conducted concerning the volatile oils one could harvest from the plants with rich scents, such as jasmine, rose, and lavander. However, there have been very few researches in the Philippines on the volatile oils of the jasmine, specifically the Jasminum sambac, which is the local plant more commonly known as Sampaguita. This plant is said to be very delicate, requiring meticulous steps in order to obtain the best aroma from it. There are many methods of oil extraction, but not every method is efficient and effective. In relation with this, this study is to be conducted to further widen the scope of the knowledge of the people especially the Filipinos, regarding this plant’s properties and uses.
Problem
This study will answer the question:
What is the more efficient and more effective way to obtain the volatile oils of the Sampaguita flower?
Hypotheses
Null Hypothesis (Ho): There is no significant difference in the quantity, quality, and odor of the essential oils produced.
Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): There is a significant difference in the quantity, quality, and odor of the essential oils.
Objectives
This study aims to determine the quantity, intensity, and resemblance of the essential oils produced in comparison with the Sampaguita flower using two different methods: solvent extraction and hydro distillation.
Specifically, this study aims to achieve the following objectives: 1.
