as an Alternative Dye Wax
This study aimed to determine the
effectivity of red mangrove peel and achiote seed coat as an alternative dye
wax and its outcome. Specifically, it
sought to answer the following questions: What is the level of acceptability of
red mangroves and achiote as an alternative dye wax in terms of their color,
scent and glossiness among the three (3)
treatments: Treatment-l: 35% Red
mangrove peel and 35% Water, 20% Candle & 10% coconut oil, Treatment-ll:
35% Achiote seed coat and 35% Water, 20% Candles, & 10 %Coconut Oil and 1.3
Treatment - III: 25%Red mangrove peel and 25% Achiote seed coat 20%Water, 15%
Candle & 15% Coconut Oil? What is
the level of effectivity of red mangrove peel
and achiote seed coat as an alternative dye wax among 3 treatments when
it apply in different floors: wooden floor and
concrete floor? Is there any
differences on the level of acceptability of alternative dye wax made out of
red mangrove peel and achiote seed coat in terms of their color, scent and
texture? And is there any differences on the level of effectivity of red
mangrove peel and achiote seed coat as an alternative dye wax among the three
(3) treatments when applied on different surfaces such as wooden floor and
concrete floor?
The study revealed that in terms
of color, treatment-1 obtained the highest mean of 4.13, interpreted as “highly acceptable”. In terms of scent,
treatment 1 obtained the highest mean of 3.63, interpreted as “highly acceptable”. In terms of
texture, treatment-3 obtained the highest mean of 3.93, interpreted as “highly acceptable”. When applied to
concrete floor, treatment-3 obtained the highest mean of 4.37, which can be
interpreted as “very highly effective”.
When applied to wooden floor, treatment-1 obtained the highest mean of 4.43,
which can be interpreted as “very highly
effective”.
As for the overall results on physical characteristics of dye wax
among three (3) treatments, treatment-1 obtained the highest overall mean of
3.87, means “highly acceptable”. As for the overall results on effectivity of
dye wax among three (3) treatments when applied to different surfaces such as
concrete floor and wooden floor, treatment-1 obtained the highest overall mean
of 4.38, means “very highly effective”. The
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) confirmed that there is no significant
difference on the acceptability of the three (3) treatments in terms of
physical characteristics such as color, scent and texture. Hence, the
hypothesis tested on color, scent and texture was accepted. The ANOVA also
confirmed that there is no significant difference on the effectivity of the
three (3) treatments when applied to different surfaces such as concrete and
wooden floors since. Hence, the hypothesis tested on concrete and wooden floors
was accepted.
Further, the researchers conclude that the red
mangrove peel and achiote seed coat can be good source of alternative dye wax.
Hence, the three (3) treatments employed in this study do not
differ in terms of physical characteristics such as color, scent and texture.
These treatments also do not differ when applied to different surfaces such as
concrete and wooden floors. Therefore, red mangrove or achiote seed coat or the
mixture of both can be made as an alternative dye wax and are acceptable and
effective regardless of mixture.
