HOW TO MAKE SOAP

CREATING DIESEL FROM USED COOKING OIL

In some countries cooking oil is just thrown to the sewage system, when    disposed of into the drainage system they mix with food and other sanitary waste, congeal and harden in the pipe. Over time this grows to form blockages can lead to flooding and pollutions.

There is a smart solution converting it to Biodiesel. Biodiesel is a diesel fuel that is made by reacting vegetable oil (cooking oil) with other common chemicals. Biodiesel may be used in any diesel automotive engine in its pure form or blended with petroleum-based diesel. No modifications are required, and the result is a less-expensive, renewable, clean-burning fuel.  Instead of allocating government budget to remove the blockages invest it to the biodiesel. It can create a cheap alternative source for fuel because we used cooking oil everyday.

HOW TO MAKE BIODIESEL

PISONET

 

PISONET is a coin operated internet machine wherein they merge the PC rental and the arcade rental services. The customers can pay the services by inserting a peso coin to the machine. A peso coin has a rate between 4-5 minutes depending how the operators want.

PANDAN LEAVES

Pandanus amaryllifolius is a tropical plant in the Pandanus (screwpine) genus, which is commonly known as pandan leaves and is used widely in Southeast Asian cooking as a flavoring. The characteristic aroma of pandan is caused by the aroma compound 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline, which also gives white bread, jasmine rice and basmati rice (as well as bread flowers Vallaris glabra) their typical smell.The plant is rare in the wild, but is widely cultivated. It is an upright, green plant with fan-shaped sprays of long, narrow, blade-like leaves and woody aerial roots. The plant is sterile, flowers only very rarely, and is propagated by cuttings.

Pandan leaves contain a number of essential oils and chemicals that cockroaches find unpleasant. Terpenes and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons make up between 6 and 42 percent of the oils in these leaves, according to the National University of Singapore researchers. Pandan also contains 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline, or 2AP, a substance that repels both American and German cockroach species in test studies.

While pandan leaves contain substances repellent to cockroaches, they actually discourage these insects at a lower rate than other plants from the same geographical region. Pandan leaves are less potent than lemongrass, cinnamon, clove, ginger and turmeric, requiring a greater concentration of their essential oils to have the same effect. Chemically-extracted oils tend to produce a greater repellent effect than the leaves themselves, but the extraction process sometimes degrades the repellent chemicals. The Singapore study recommends using a combination of 2AP and pandan essence for best effect.

Eventhough it is not powerful enough to repel cockroaches but if you can extract the oil and put "Organic Cockroach Repellant"  you can make a profit 

OTHER CULINARY USES OF PANDAN LEAVES

Can be used as a dessert or can be added to juices and rice

COCONUT TREE A REAL TREE OF MONEY

We will tackle about coconuts , a tree produces many business opportunities from the leaves, fruits, and the body

WHAT IS COCONUT?

The coconut palm, Cocos nucifera, is a member of the family Arecaceae (palm family). It is the only accepted species in the genus Cocos. The term coconut can refer to the entire coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which, botanically, is a drupe, not a nut. The spelling cocoanut is an archaic form of the word.The term is derived from 16th century Portuguese and Spanish cocos, meaning "grinning face", from the three small holes on the coconut shell that resemble human facial features.

Found throughout the tropic and subtropic area, the coconut is known for its great versatility as seen in the many domestic, commercial, and industrial uses of its different parts. Coconuts are part of the daily diet of many people. Coconuts are different from any other fruits because they contain a large quantity of "water" and when immature they are known as tender-nuts or jelly-nuts and may be harvested for drinking. When mature they still contain some water and can be used as seednuts or processed to give oil from the kernel, charcoal from the hard shell and coir from the fibrous husk. The endosperm is initially in its nuclear phase suspended within the coconut water. As development continues, cellular layers of endosperm deposit along the walls of the coconut, becoming the edible coconut "flesh". When dried, the coconut flesh is called copra. The oil and milk derived from it are commonly used in cooking and frying; coconut oil is also widely used in soaps and cosmetics. The clear liquid coconut water within is a refreshing drink. The husks and leaves can be used as material to make a variety of products for furnishing and decorating. It also has cultural and religious significance in many societies that use it.

THE BUSINESS THAT COCONUT CAN CREATE

THE LEAVES OR FRONDS

The coconut leaves is strong and flexible. You can weave to make shelters, fence, weave hats and many other things, Even the dried fronds is very useful, the stiff midribs of the coconut leaves when dried it is used to create brooms and this is the part where you can sell.

This is called "Walis Tingting" in PHILIPPINES or "Sapu Lidi" in Indonesia. They gathered all the stiff midribs and bundle it creating a broom. You can market it from school to homes even in the cemetery they used brooms. You have a steady market and a small income just selling this things. Currently the selling retail prices in our country range from 15-20 pesos. Some businessman put a stick on top resembling to a witch broom. They can sell it much higher prices arounf 35-60 pesos.

THE BODY

The body of the coconut tree can be a hardwood substitute a another source of wood,. It is referred as coco timber or coco lumber.  The tree bears fruit until approximately 70 years of age, at which point it is considered to have reached the end of its economic life and is felled to make way for future crops. So they make it a timber after it is not productive, very clever. I don't know what the retail price of coco lumber you can give comment about the running price.

Lumpia sariwa

Heart of coconut palm

Another part that can be source of an income called the heart of coconut palm or called "Ubod". The Ubod came from  topmost section of the coconut trunk, right up where the leaves were located. They can only get the ubod when the tree is not productive so they cut it down. Ubod is a delicacy, they can be made as "Lumpiang Sariwa or Lumpiang Ubod" with a sweet sauce and sprinkled with peanuts.  They chopped  Ubod and sell it to the market.

THE ROOTS

The roots are used as a dye, a mouthwash, and a medicine for diarrhea and dysentery. A frayed piece of root can also be used as a toothbrush. Well there is no profit at all but can use as alternative medicine and for hygiene

THE FRUITS 

The fruit of the coconut is very tasty and has many many uses. Can be used as net to stop erosion, can be used as energy or thirst quenchers and many more

Coconut Water s the watery liquid that comes from the young, still immature green coconut. Often the still jelly-like coconut meat is also added to make a tropic drink. even Madonna invested a million dollars because of its potential in the Organic Industry. They harvest a young fruit because it has a lot of juices than an older one. If the fruit gets old the liquid will form its meat or White Flesh (solid endosperm)  and you get less liquid inside.   

 A old coconut fruit it has a lot of meat or White Flesh and its quite hard you cannot use spoon to get the flesh. They used special equipment to grate the flesh. The liquid that comes from the grated meat of a coconut is called coconut milk. The color and rich taste of the milk can be attributed to the high oil content. Most of the fat is saturated fat. Coconut milk is a very popular food ingredient in some countries. Nowadays some market sell grated coconut per kilo unlike in the old you buy per fruit. 

Copra is the dried meat, or kernel, of the coconut. Coconut oil is extracted from it and has made copra an important agricultural commodity for many coconut-producing countries. It also yields coconut cake which is mainly used as feed for livestock. Coconut oil industry declines because of the booming industry of Coconut water and it is more expensive and convenient to the coco farmer and the introduction of Palm Oil in the market which more cheaper to produce than Coconut Oil kills its industry
