Abstract

The study focused mainly on the determination of the potential germicidal soap of Mangifera indica Mango fruit peel extract. It aimed to determine the physical properties in terms of color, melting point, odor, pH value, and solubility. Also, it sought to determine the acid value, iodine value of mango peel soap for its chemical properties. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was used for the determination on antimicrobial sensitivity test, the researcher concluded that the prepared soap doesn't have the capability to reduce the excrescency of the microorganisms. Therefore the researcher concluded that Mangifera indica peel can be made into germicidal soap but not comparable to commercially available germicidal soap. by Raquel L. Crebello | Maria Judy M.
