The Feasibility of Guava [ Psidium Guajava L. ] and Rosemary [ Rosmarinus Officinalis ] Extract as an Antimicrobial Air Freshener
Abstract
I conduct this study because I observed that other public places are smelly. Not just in public places but even in our homes. Some kitchens are also smelly because of what we cook and what we eat. If our kitchen utensils are dirty, it can cause disease like diarrhea. That’s why I’ve decided to make an antimicrobial air freshener using organic materials instead of using some chemical. It will not also be antimicrobial but it will also help people because they will breathe fresh and scented air. It will also help people by making a low-cost air freshener. It is very cheaper than other air freshener because high-cost fresheners contains chemicals unlike the air freshener out of organic materials. It will also by people knowing that Guava [ Psidium Guajava ] and Rosemary [ Rosmarinus Officinalis ] can kill bacterias and fungi that many people can benefit. This will be made by using the two organic materials; Guava [Psidium Guajava] and Rosemary [Rosmarinus Officinalis] . I use Guava [Psidium Guajava] because this fruit has a nice smell and it can also be antimicrobial. This will be result to an antimicrobial,sweet and scented air freshener with the combination of two organic materials; the Guava [Psidium Guajava] and Rosemary [Rosmarinus Officinalis]. This two can kill bacterias and fungis.They are also both fragrant.This would be unlike to other freshener which has strong odors
