researcher tries three set-ups to test the effectiveness composition of the materials. In
the first set-up is composed of 25% lemongrass extract and 75% candle wax. The
second set-up has 50% lemongrass extract and 50% candle wax. The third set-up has
75% lemongrass extract and 25% candle wax. The researcher uses the trial-and-error
According to the research, the appearance and scent were the most important factors in
getting people to accept the product and determining whether it was still excellent or
not.
CONCLUSION
Therefore, when the three candles begin to cool, the third candle with the most
lemongrass extract cools first, followed by the two candles with more wax than extract.
The candle turned out well in terms of appearance, but when it cools, the wax settles
and forms a bumpy surface. However, the majority of the candle scents were effective. I
tested each for 30 minutes and found that the third one was the most effective; you can
really smell the lemongrass extract and repelled more mosquitoes. You can't smell the
lemongrass extract from far away, but you can smell it when you go close to the candle.
