PRODUCTION OF DEODORANT (AIR REFRESHING) FROM LOCAL PLANT MATERIALS
ABSTRACT
This study was carried out principally for the production of deodorant (Air refresher) from perfumery oil/ fragrance i.e. odor ferrous essential oil to match and conyzete with one produced from abroad. Deodorant is a substance used in controlling odour and hides unpleasant smells. The method generally used in this work is first the extraction of the perfuming oil/ fragrance i.e. odorless essential oil from local plant materials and then mixing of the substances. After which it was allowed to stand for twenty-four hours and stirred for proper mixture. The product is much higher efficient than the individual oils. And it is cheaper to operate from this project. It is quite possible to harness our natural endowment that would compete prodigiously with one produced abroad. Hence our environment including homes, cars, hospital, toilets etc will be totally refreshed and the need to import deodorant will be avoided. Â
