Project Abstract

Abstract
This research project focuses on the production of liquid and vaporized air fresheners using local raw materials. The aim of the study is to develop a cost-effective and environmentally friendly air freshener that can be produced using readily available local resources. The project involves the extraction and utilization of essential oils from local plants such as lavender, eucalyptus, and citrus fruits to create natural fragrances for the air fresheners. The process of production includes extraction of essential oils through techniques such as steam distillation or cold pressing, followed by blending with other ingredients to create the desired scent profile. The liquid air freshener is formulated using a combination of essential oils, water, and a natural base such as alcohol or vinegar. On the other hand, the vaporized air freshener is created by blending essential oils with a carrier liquid and dispersing it through a diffuser or humidifier. The research also involves testing the efficacy of the air fresheners in eliminating odors and improving indoor air quality. This will be done through sensory evaluations and air quality measurements to assess the performance of the products. Additionally, the stability and shelf-life of the air fresheners will be evaluated to ensure product quality and longevity. The project aims to promote the use of natural and locally sourced materials in air freshener production, reducing the reliance on synthetic chemicals and imported ingredients. By utilizing local resources, the production process becomes more sustainable and supports local economies. Furthermore, the use of natural fragrances can provide a safer and healthier alternative to synthetic air fresheners, which may contain potentially harmful chemicals. Overall, this research project presents an innovative approach to air freshener production by harnessing the power of local raw materials. The development of liquid and vaporized air fresheners using essential oils extracted from local plants not only offers a sustainable and eco-friendly solution but also provides consumers with a natural and pleasant way to freshen their indoor spaces. This study contributes to the growing interest in green chemistry and sustainable product development, highlighting the potential for utilizing local resources in creating everyday household products.

Project Overview

INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

An air freshener is a product designed to mask or remove unpleasant room odors, (Umbach, 1991). These products typically deliver fragrance and other odor counteractants into the air. They do so through a variety of product formats, including aerosols, candles, potpourri and gels. By the late 1990s, sales of air fresheners in the United States had exceeded several hundred million dollars per year. One of the most successful new products are Glade Plug-Ins, which use heat generated by electric current to vaporize air-freshening ingredients. (Umbach, 1991)

Air fresheners are commonplace in many homes, as a way of covering up cooking odors, musty smells, dank air and bathroom odors, (William Ramsay, 2004). In recent times, many commercially made air fresheners have relied on use of chemicals and artificial scents, as well as using electricity and materials such as plastics and metals to create complicated air fresheners that create rather strong odors in the home environment, (William Ramsay, 2004). They are not generally a sustainable product and there are many excellent alternatives to such air fresheners.

1.2 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The study will cover the qualitative and quantitative analysis that is involved in the production of liquid and vapourised air freshener from local raw materials that is:

1.     Easy and accurate dispensing

2.     Safe use and transport without risk of spillage

3.     Long-term durability thanks to a tight sealing of the can and impossible of re-entry of microbial contamination during use

4.     Recyclable packaging

1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The project is aimed and designed to evaluate the production of liquid and vapourised air freshener with an attempt to show the key ingredient used in the production of liquid and vapourised air freshener. The study reveals that air freshener is a product designed to mask or remove unpleasant room odors. These products typically deliver fragrance and other odor counteractants into the air. Other objectives of these studies are stated below:

1.     To provide liquid and vapourised air freshener formulation that is easy to manufacture and does not require high temperature casting.

2.     It is provide liquid and vapourised air freshener formulation that includes greater than 10% fragrance.

3.     To provide liquid and vapourised air freshener that is stable and does not experience significant fragrance weeping across normal transportation temperatures of up to 30-50° C.

4.     To provide liquid and vapourised air freshener that is easily dissolvable in water, and creates a clear liquid composition that is free of large particles and clumps.

Other objective, aspects and advantages of this research will be apparent to one skilled in the art in view of the following disclosure, the drawings and the appended claims.
