Acceptability of Sampaguita ...

by ktaguilar, iprolloque and jmsisi, 2018 1

Chapter I

Introduction

Man occupy earth with all its wealth laid before him. With his creativity and

intelligence, as the day goes by he discovers ways to enhance the use of available

resources to fulfill his longings for health and wellness. Thus, the discovery of

locally grown plant produces the attainable existence of possible substance to

emulate the one in the market. This stuff helps people to save money and have a

higher quality of living.

In Western cultures, natural body odor is generally perceived as unpleasant,

and ratings of body odor pleasantness are on average relatively higher when

participants use cosmetic products. Indeed, Lenochová et al. (2012)found that

attractiveness ratings of perfume-body odor blends varied among individuals,

suggesting that perfumes in fact interact with natural body odor rather than simply

mask it. This is consistent with an observation that, compared with randomly

assigned fragrances, the discrimination rates are higher when individual body odors

are blended with fragrances that people choose for themselves.

Perfume is a mixture of fragrant essential oils and aroma compounds,

fixatives, and solvents used to give the human body, animals, objects, and living

spaces a pleasant scent.

As the researchers know, most of and the women love pretty and fragrance.

Because of fragrant can make people refresh and more confident. In addition, for

us, we love fashionable perfumes and some fragrant product so much, perhaps that

let us felt interest in and focus on perfumes market, which is my dissertation is

going to investigate later. Moreover, perfume is most of women loves it, and sprays

it every day, every time. even for me, the fragrant can make person happiness,

confident and relax.

Sampaguita (Jasminum sambac) is a sweetly scented tropical flower.

Belonging to the wide genus of Jasmines(Jasminum), Sampaguita is the common

name of the species Jasminum sambac. Sampaguita is also known as Philippine

Jasmine, Arabian jasmine, Pikake in Hawaii, Grand Duke of Tuscany, Kampupot,

and Melati. The species Jasminum sambac is native to southern Asia, in India,

Myanmar and Sri Lanka. Sampaguita is serving as the National Flower for two

countries - Philippines and Indonesia. The beautiful ornamental Sampaguita blooms

cover the glossy green leafed bushed type ever bloomer. The Sampaguita is also

well known in Asia for its use in teas and religious offerings, symbolizing divine

hope.

Papayas (Carica Papaya) grow in tropical climates and are also known as

papaws or paw paws. Their sweet taste, vibrant color, and the wide variety of health

benefits they provide make them a popular fruit. Papayas are a soft, fleshy fruit that

can be used in a wide variety of culinary ways.

Alcohol is a colorless liquid that is found in drinks such as beer, wine, and

whisky. It is also used in products such as perfume and cleaning fluids.

Background of the study

Here in our town Agdangan, Quezon many people are using a perfume that

has a very soothing scent. The problem is, this perfume they may have nice and
Acceptability of Sampaguita ... by ktaguilar, iprolloque and jmsisi, 2018 3

soothing scents but they can really have bad effect in our environment and even to

ourselves because of the chemical used in making it. The researchers thought of a

way in which they can produce a soothing and great scent without harming the

surroundings and community.

The study tries to help the environment by substituting the chemicals used

in a perfume by using Papaya (Carica papaya), Sampaguita (Jasminum sambac)

and Alcohol which is abundant in our location and it can be bought in our local

market. Papaya is originally from southern Mexico, Central America, and northern

South America, the papaya is now cultivated in most tropical countries like

Philippines. Sampaguita is cultivated in many places, especially across much of

South and Southeast Asia. It is widely cultivated for its attractive and sweetly

fragrant. The flowers may be used as a fragrant ingredient in perfumes and jasmine

tea.

Inventing a perfume that is natural, cheap, doesn’t have a bad effect towards

our environment and our health and is made from something that is abundant in our

community is very helpful.

Statement of the problem

This study will be conducted to examine the effectiveness of Sampaguita

(Jasminum Sambac), Papaya (Carica Papaya), and Coconut milk (Cocos nucifera)

as Alternative Perfume.

Specifically, it aims to answer the following objectives:

Chapter II

Review of related literature

Perfume

Perfume is a powerful tool to express our personality, build our self-image

and engage with others. Fragrances, in fact, accompany as in everyday life and tell

something about us, raising memories and feelings. (Tailor Made Fragrance)

Perfumes and scented products have been used for centuries as way to

enhance overall personal appearance and with previous studies showing that the

attractiveness could be influenced by smell, this is the first study looking at whether

odors influence that visual perception of facial features or alternatively how faces

are emotionally evaluated by the brain. (Cosmetics Design Europe, 2014)

Fragrances can be powerful. They can sooth or revitalize, evoke the forest or

sea, and remind us of the past. To capture them, manufacturers infuse scents into

products from toilet bowl cleaners to luxury perfumes. But once released from

bottle, fragrances evaporate quickly.(ACS, 2018)

Color perception plays a major role in the consumer evaluation of perfume

quality. Consumers need first to be entirely satisfied with sensory properties of

products before other quality dimensions become relevant. (Hunter Cab, 2007)

Some people say that perfumes are a fragrant liquid created by essential oils

and other ingredients. Essential oils are responsible for the odor and makes up the

fragrance of a plant, and are usually extracted form flowers or spices to make a

certain scent.(Wong, 2013)


Acceptability of Sampaguita ... by ktaguilar, iprolloque and jmsisi, 2018 10

The history of perfume is not recent. The origin of a perfume is commonly

attributed to the ancient Egyptians. They utilized scent to celebrate prayers and

religious ceremony burning essential oils, resin, and perfumed unguents. (Tailor

Made Fragrance)

This practice had several functions. First, the oils and unguents burned were

necessary to ensure protection and benevolence. Besides, scents were also used to

convey messages and prayers to the dead, to purify the body and to conduct

embalming ceremonies. (Tailor Made Fragrance)

‘‘Purple the sails, and so perfume, that the winds were love-sick with

them,’’ Shakespeare wrote. Cleopatra is said to have greeted Mark Antony on a

boat with perfumed sails after the assassination of Julius Caesar and became the

queen of Egypt. The use of a perfume is mainly associated with mystery, fantasy

and imagination. We wear perfume to please others, to leave a good impression, to

surround ourselves with a pleasing, lingering scent. Although perfume does have a

long history, it has not always carried a hint of romance. (McGill University)

The word perfume comes from the Latin phrase, ‘‘per’’ meaning

‘‘thorough’’ and fume meaning “fumus”. The French later gave the name perfume

to the smells produced by burning incense. Indeed, the first form of perfume was

incense, first made by the Mesopotamians about 4000 years. Ancient cultures

burned a variety of resins and wood at their religious ceremonies. Incense made its

way to Egypt’s Golden Age, perfumes were used only in religious rituals. They

became available to all Egyptians as the priests gradually relinquished their

exclusive rights. Citizens took elaborate baths and soaked their skin in scented oils
Acceptability of Sampaguita ... by ktaguilar, iprolloque and jmsisi, 2018 11

for pleasure. The ancient Greeks can take credit for the first liquid perfume. But it

was the development of distillation by the Arabs that made perfume manufacture

viable. Perfume enjoyed huge success during the seventeenth century, especially in

France. Hygiene in those days was spotty and fragrances were used to mask the

unpleasant body odors. In England perfumes were used extensively during the

reigns of Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. All public places were scented during

Elizabeth’s rule because she could not tolerate bad smells. As with industry and art,

perfume was to undergo profound change in the nineteenth century. Changing

tastes and the development of chemistry laid the foundations for modern

perfumery. At the turn of the century, perfume usually was derived from a single-

flower fragrance. Today, perfumes are extremely complex, made up of many

natural and synthetic chemicals, often referred to as “notes” or “overtones.” Chanel

No5 was the first perfume created by applying modern chemical principles and the

first to contain synthetics. (McGill University)

A Whiff of Chemistry The first stage in making a perfume is the extraction

of the fragrant essential oils from plants. While many methods can be used,

distillation is

the most common one. Steam distillation is based on the principle that plant

materials placed in boiling water will release their essential oils which then

evaporate with the steam. (McGill University)

Sampaguita (Jasminum sambac)


Acceptability of Sampaguita ... by ktaguilar, iprolloque and jmsisi, 2018 12

Jasminum sambac is a small shrub or vine growing up to 0.5 to 3m (1.6 to

9.8 feet) in height. It is widely cultivated in for its attractive and sweetly fragrant

flower. The flowers may be used as a fragrant ingredient in perfumes and jasmine

tea. It is the national flower of the Philippines, where it is known as Sampaguita, as

well as being one of the three national flowers of Indonesia, where it is known as

melati putih.

Jasminum sambac is classified under the genus Jasminum under the tribe

Jasmineae. It belongs to the olive family Oleaceae.

Despite the English common name of “Arabian jasmine”, Jasminum sambac

is not originally native to Arabia. The habits of Jasminum sambac support habitat

of humid tropical climates and not the arid climates of the Middle East. Early

Chinese records of the plant points to the origin of Jasminum sambac as eastern

South Asia and Southeast Asia. Jasminum sambac (and nine other species of the

genus) were spread into Arabia and Persia by man, where they were cultivated in

gardens. From there, they were introduced to Europe where they grow as

ornamentals and were known under the common name “sambac” in the 18th

century.

Medieval Arabic “zanbaq” meant jasmine flower-oil from flowers of any

species of jasmine. This word entered late medieval Latin as “sambacus” and

“zambacca” with the same meaning as the Arabic, and then in post-medieval Latin

plant taxonomy the source for jasmine flower-oil in terms of the quality of the

fragrance and it continues to be cultivated for this purpose for the perfume industry
Acceptability of Sampaguita ... by ktaguilar, iprolloque and jmsisi, 2018 13

today. The Jasminum officinal species is also cultivated for the same purpose, and

probably to greater extent.

In 1753, Carl Linnaeus first described the plant as Nycthanthes sambac in

the first edition of his famous book Systema Naturae. In 1789, William Alton

reclassified the plant to the genus Jasminum. He also coined the common English

name of “Arabian jasmine”, cementing the misconception that it was Arabian in

origin.

Jasminum sambac is an evergreen vine or shrub reaching up to 0.5 to 3 m (1.6 to

9.8 feet) tall. The species is highly variable, possibly a result of spontaneous

mutation, natural hybridization, and auto polyploidy. Cultivated Jasminum

sambac generally do not bear seeds and the plant is reproduced solely

by cuttings, layering, marcotting, and other methods of asexual propagation.

The leaves are ovate, 4 to 12.5 cm (1.6 to 4.9 in) long and 2 to 7.5 cm (0.79 to

2.95 in) wide. The phyllotaxy is opposite or in whorls of three, simple (not pinnate,

like most other jasmines). They are smooth (glabrous) except for a few hairs at

the venation on the base of the leaf.

The flowers bloom all throughout the year and are produced in clusters of 3 to 12

together at the ends of branches. They are strongly scented, with a white corolla 2

to 3 cm (0.79 to 1.18 in) in diameter with 5 to 9 lobes. The flowers open at night

(usually around 6 to 8 in the evening), and close in the morning, a span of 12 to 20

hours. The fruit is a purple to black berry 1 cm (0.39 in) in diameter.

Sampaguita is use in different countries in Southeast Asia. In Philippines,

Jasminum sambac (Filipino: Sampaguita from Indian Sanskrit word Champaka)


Acceptability of Sampaguita ... by ktaguilar, iprolloque and jmsisi, 2018 14

was adopted by the Philippines as the national flower on 1 February 1934 via

Proclamation No. 652 issued by American Governor-General Frank

Murphy. Filipinos string the flowers into

leis, corsages, and sometimes crowns. These garlands are available as loose strings

of blossoms or as tight clusters of buds, and are commonly sold by poor children

outside churches and near intersections.

Sampaguita garlands are used as a form of bestowing honor, veneration, or

accolade.

These are primarily used to adorn religious images and photographs of the death on

altars. These are placed around the necks of living persons such as dignitaries,

visitors, and occasionally to graduating students. Buds strung into ropes several

meters long are often used to decorate formal events such state occasions

at Malacañang Palace, weddings, and are sometimes used as the ribbon in ribbon

cutting ceremonies. Though edible, the flower is rarely used in cuisine, with an

unusual example being flavoring for ice cream.

Jasminum sambac was the subject of the danza song La Flor de Manila, composed

by Dolores Paterno in 1879 at the age of 25. The song was popular during

the Commonwealth hand is now regarded as a romantic classic. The flower is also

the namesake of the song Collar de Sampaguita.

The fragrance of Lady Gaga perfume, Fame, was thought to be inspired by

Sampaguita when she bought one from the street children in Manila the time she

had her concert in the Philippines.

In Indonesia, Jasminum sambac (Indonesian: melati putih) is one of the

three national flowers in Indonesia, the other two being the moon orchid and

the giant pad ma. Although the official adoption were announced only as recent as

1990 during World Environment Day and enforced by law through Presidential

Decree No. 4 in 1993, the importance of Jasminum sambac in Indonesian

culture long predates its official adoption. Since the formation of Indonesian

republic during the reign

of Sukarno, melati putih is always unofficially recognized as the national flower of

Indonesia. The reverence and its elevated status mostly due to the importance of

this flower in Indonesian tradition since ancient times.

It has long been considered a sacred flower in Indonesian tradition, as it

symbolizes purity, sacredness, graceful simplicity and sincerity. It also represents

the beauty of modesty; a small and simple white flower that can produce such

sweet fragrance. It is also the most important flower in wedding ceremonies for

ethnic Indonesians, especially in the island of Java. Jasmine flower buds that have

not fully opened are usually picked to create strings of jasmine garlands

(Javanese: roncen melati). On wedding days, a

traditional Javanese or Sundanese bride's hair is adorned with strings of jasmine

garlands arranged as a hairnet to cover the konde (hair bun). The intricately

intertwined strings of jasmine garlands are left to hang loose from the bride's head.

The groom's kris is also adorned with five jasmine garlands called roncen usus-

usus (intestine garlands) to refer its intestine-like form and also linked to the legend

of Arya Penang sang. In Makassar and Bugis brides, the hair is also adorned with
Acceptability of Sampaguita ... by ktaguilar, iprolloque and jmsisi, 2018 16

buds of jasmine that resemble pearls. Jasmine is also used as floral offerings

for hyangs, spirits and deities especially among Balinese Hindu, and also often

present during funerals. In South Sumatran traditional costume, the bungo

melati pattern in Palembang songket fabrics depicts the jasmine to represent beauty

and femininity.

The jasmine has wide spectrums in Indonesian traditions; it is the flower of life,

beauty and festive wedding, yet it is also often associated with spirit and death. In

Indonesian patriotic songs and poems, the fallen melati often hailed as the

representation of fallen heroes that sacrificed their life and died for the country, the

very similar concept with fallen sakura that represent fallen heroes in Japanese

tradition. The Ismail Marzuki’s patriotic song "Melati di Tapal Batas" (jasmine on

the border) (1947) and Guruh Sukarnoputra's "Melati Suci"[32] (sacred jasmine)

(1974) clearly refer jasmine as the representation of fallen heroes, the eternally

fragrance flower that adorned Ibu Pertiwi (Indonesian national personification).

The Iwan Abdurachman's "Melati dari

Jayagiri" (jasmine from Jayagiri mountain) refer jasmine as the representation of

the pure unspoiled beauty of a girl and a longlost love.

In Cambodia, the flower is used as an offering to the Buddha. During

floweringseason which begins in June, Cambodians thread the flower buds onto a

wooden needle to be presented to the Buddha.

In China, the flower is processed and used as the main flavoring ingredient

in jasmine tea. It is also the subject of a popular folk song Mo Li Hua.


Acceptability of Sampaguita ... by ktaguilar, iprolloque and jmsisi, 2018 17

In Hawaii, the flower is known as pikake, and are used to make fragrant leis. The

name 'pikake' is derived from the Hawaiian word for "Peacock", because the

Hawaiian Princess Kaʻiulani was fond of both the flowers and the bird.

In the Middle East and South Asia, it is one of the most commonly grown

ornamentals in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, where it is native. They are used to

make thick garlands used as hair adornments. In Oman, Jasminum sambac features

prominently on a child's first birthday. Flowers are sprinkled on the child's head by

other children while chanting "hol hol". The fragrant flowers are also sold packed

in between large leaves of the Indian almond (Terminalia catappa) and sewn

together with strips of date palm leaves.

In Sri Lanka, it is widely known as pichcha or gaeta pichcha. The

name sithapushpa and katarolu are also used in older texts. The flowers are used in

Buddhist temples and in ceremonial garlands.

Papaya (Carica papaya)

The papaya, papaw, or pawpaw is the plant Carica papaya, one of the 22

accepted species in the genus Carica of the family Caricaceae. Its origin is in

thetropics of the Americas, perhaps from southern Mexico and neighboring Central

America.

The papaya is a small, parsely branched tree, usually with a single stem

growing from 5 to 10 m (16 to 33ft) tall, with spirally arranged leaves confined to

the top of the trunk. The lower trunk is conspicuously scarred where leaves and

fruit were borne. The leaves are large, 50-70 cm (20-28 in) in diameter, deeply
Acceptability of Sampaguita ... by ktaguilar, iprolloque and jmsisi, 2018 18

palmately lobed, with seven lobes. All parts of the plant contain latex in articulated

laticifers. Papayas are dioecious. The flowers are 5-parted and highly dimorphic,

the male flowers with the stamens fused to the petals. The female flowers have a

superior ovary and five contorted petals loosely connected at the base. Male and

female flowers are borne in the leaf axils, the males in multiflowered dichasia, the

female flowers are few-flowered dichasia the flowers are sweet-scented, open at

night and are moth-pollinated.

The fruit is a large berry about 15-45 cm (5.9-17.7 in) long and 10-30 cm

(3.9-11.8 in) diameter. It is ripe when it feels soft (as soft as a ripe avocado or a bit

softer) and its skin has attained an amber to orange hue. Native to Mexico and

northern South America, papaya has become naturalized throughout the Caribbean

Islands, Florida, Texas, California, Hawaii, and

other tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Papaya plants grow in three

sexes: male, female, hermaphrodite. The male produces only pollen, never fruit.

The female will produce small, inedible fruits unless pollinated. The hermaphrodite

can self-pollinate since its flowers contain both male stamens and female ovaries.

Almost all commercial papaya orchards contain only hermaphrodites. Originally

from southern Mexico (particularly Chiapas and Veracruz), Central America, and

northern South America,

the papaya is now cultivated in most tropical countries. In cultivation, it grows

rapidly, fruiting within three years. It is, however, highly frost-sensitive, limiting its

production to tropical climates. Temperatures below −2 °C (29 °F) are greatly


Acceptability of Sampaguita ... by ktaguilar, iprolloque and jmsisi, 2018 19

harmful if not fatal. In Florida, California, and Texas, growth is generally limited to

southern parts of the

states. It prefers sandy, well-drained soil, as standing water will kill the plant within

24 hours. For cultivation, however, only female plants are used, since they give off

a single flower each time, and close to the base of the plant, while the male gives

off multiple flowers in long stems, which result in poorer quality fruit.

Two kinds of papayas are commonly grown. One has sweet, red or orange flesh,

and the other has yellow flesh; in Australia, these are called "red papaya" and

"yellow papaw", respectively. Either kind, picked green, is called a "green papaya".

The large-fruited, red-fleshed 'Maradol', 'Sunrise', and 'Caribbean Red' papayas

often sold in U.S. markets are commonly grown in Mexico and Belize.

In 2011, Philippine researchers reported that by hybridizing papaya

with Vasconcellea quercifolia, they had developed conventionally bred,

nongenetically engineered papaya resistant to PRV.

Carica papaya was the first transgenic fruit tree to have its genome sequenced. In

response to the papaya ringspot virus (PRV) outbreak in Hawaii, in 1998,

genetically altered papaya were approved and brought to market (including 'Sun

Up' and 'Rainbow' varieties.) Varieties resistant to PRV have some DNA of this

virus incorporated into the DNA of the plant. As of 2010, 80% of Hawaiian papaya

plants were genetically modified. The modifications were made by University of

Hawaii scientists who made the modified seeds available to farmers without charge.

Alcohol

Fermented grain, fruit juice and honey have been used to make alcohol (ethyl

alcohol or ethanol) for thousands of years. Fermented beverages existed in early

Egyptian civilization, and there is evidence of an early alcoholic drink in China

around 7000 B.C. In India, an alcoholic beverage called sura, distilled from rice,

was in use between 3000 and 2000 B.C. The Babylonians worshiped a wine

goddess as early as 2700 B.C. In Greece, one of the first alcoholic beverages to

gain popularity was mead, a fermented drink made from honey and water. Greek

literature is full of warnings against excessive drinking. Several Native American

civilizations developed alcoholic beverages in pre-Columbian times. A variety of

fermented beverages from the Andes region of South America were created from

corn, grapes or apples, called “chicha”. In the sixteenth century, alcohol (called

“spirits”) was used largely for medicinal purposes. At the beginning of the

eighteenth century, the British parliament passed a law encouraging the use of grain

for distilling spirits. Cheap spirits flooded the market and reached a peak in the

mid-eighteenth century. In Britain, gin consumption reached 18 million gallons and

alcoholism became widespread. The nineteenth century brought a change in

attitudes and the temperance movement began promoting the moderate use of

alcohol which ultimately became a push for total prohibition. In 1920 the US

passed a law prohibiting manufacture, sale, import and export of intoxicating

liquors. The illegal alcohol trade boomed and by 1933, the prohibition of alcohol

was cancelled. (Drug-Free World, 2018)

Conceptual Framework

Having an alternative source can be useful and helpful to us. That is why the

researcher wants to introduce this Alternative Perfume. The goal of this research is

to lessen the commercialized perfume that contains toxins. Another goal of this

product is to reuse our alternative sources and saving much money by using this

product. The researcher also wants to help the consumer in a safer and affordable

way of maintaining our environment clean and safe.

The essential oil is the ‘‘essence’’ of plants obtained by distillation of the

plant material or its concrete. Plant materials include flowers, grass, stems, seeds,

leaves, roots, bark, fruits, tree moss, and tree secretions.

According to American Chemical Society (ACS) fragrances can be powerful. They

can sooth or revitalize, evoke the forest or sea, and remind us of the past. To capture

them, manufacturers infuse scents into products from toilet bowl cleaners to luxury

perfumes. But once released from bottle, fragrances evaporate quickly.

Ingredients Price
Sampaguita P50.00
Papaya P1.00
Alcohol P30.00
Empty bottle of cologne P30.00
Total P111.00
Original Price of a Perfume P180.00

The researchers also bought Alcohol which has a price of P30.00. The researchers also

bought a empty bottle of cologne amounting P30.00. . The papaya cost them P1.00

because it is obtained from the environment. The researchers came up with a total of

P111.00 which is so cheap when compare to the original price of a Perfume amounting

P180.00.

The experiment seems successful because the amount is so small and so affordable

but if the consumer will conduct this process, they need to exert effort to have triumphant

at the end.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter presents the summary of the study conducted. This also presents the

findings derived from the analysis and interpretation of the results. Moreover, this

imparts the conclusions framed and the recommendations formulated thereafter.

Summary

Nowadays we encountered different kind of scent or fragrance because of the

perfume made from different materials or substances. Using perfume is one of many

things that we can use to express our personality. But today brought by the new

technology, most of the perfumes we can buy are created using machines and many

substances has a strong scent, fragrance or containing toxins. The cost of some perfume is

quite high.

That is the main reason why the researcher’s conduct this study is to lessen the

commercialized perfume that contains toxins and to use our alternative resources to make

perfume. Another goal of this product is to save money by using this product and to help

the consumer in safer and affordable way of maintaining our environment clean and safe.

Using Sampaguita, which holds cultural significance in many Asian countries, can appeal to consumers' pride and nostalgia, creating an emotional connection to the product and driving sales .

Developing a perfume from Sampaguita (Jasminum Sambac), Papaya (Carica Papaya), and Alcohol can significantly benefit the environment because these ingredients are locally abundant and natural, reducing the reliance on potentially harmful chemicals used in conventional perfumes. By substituting these natural ingredients, the environmental harm typically associated with chemical extraction and waste can be mitigated .
