CHAPTER 3

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The researchers intend to use improvised apparatus such as a

strainer, acurve pot cover, and a stainless or steel glass receiving vessel that isshown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Improvised set up of Steam Distillation Process with labeled parts.
The procedures of the extraction:
• The first thing to do
is to set the pot filled with purified water on the heat source.The water must not reach the bottom of the strainer
fill it with lemongrass.
• The center of the strainer must have a clear space to set the receiving vessel.
• Position the pot cover inside – out on top of the strainer and make sure that thetip is centered over the
receiving vessel.
• The pot must be filled with ice as much as it can hold.
• Boil it up and gather the necessary amount of lemongrass extract from thereceiving vessel.

C. Making the Insect Repellent

In making the lemongrass insect repellent mixture, the following arethe materials needed:
• 10ml of lemongrass essential oil
• 10ml of water
• 10ml of alcohol

Below shows the procedure on making insect repellent out of lemongrassoil:

• Mix the essential oil, water and alcohol.
