Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Air fresheners are widely used in households, offices, and public spaces to create a pleasant and inviting atmosphere by masking or eliminating undesirable odors. This research project focuses on developing a cost-effective method for producing both liquid and vaporized air fresheners using local raw materials. The objective is to create a product that is not only effective in neutralizing odors but also environmentally friendly and sustainable. The production process involves sourcing raw materials such as essential oils, water, alcohol, and natural fragrances from local suppliers. These ingredients are carefully selected for their odor-neutralizing properties and ability to provide long-lasting freshness. The liquid air freshener is created by blending the essential oils and fragrances with water and alcohol to create a solution that can be sprayed or diffused into the air. For the vaporized air freshener, the research focuses on developing a device that can effectively disperse the fragrance into the air without the need for heat or electricity. This innovative approach aims to provide a convenient and energy-efficient way to freshen the air in various indoor spaces. The device is designed to be refillable, allowing users to easily replace the fragrance cartridge with different scents as desired. The research also explores the potential benefits of using local raw materials in air freshener production, such as reducing carbon footprint, supporting local businesses, and promoting sustainability. By utilizing ingredients that are readily available in the region, the project aims to create a product that is affordable and accessible to a wide range of consumers. In addition to the production process, the research project also investigates the market demand for eco-friendly air fresheners and consumer preferences regarding scent choices and packaging. By conducting surveys and focus groups, the project aims to gather valuable insights that can guide the development and marketing of the final product. Overall, this research project aims to contribute to the development of sustainable and locally sourced air fresheners that meet consumer needs and preferences. By combining innovative production methods with environmentally friendly practices, the project seeks to create a product that not only freshens the air but also promotes a healthier and more eco-conscious lifestyle.

Thesis Overview

INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

An air freshener is a product designed to mask or remove unpleasant room odors, (Umbach, 1991). These products typically deliver fragrance and other odor counteractants into the air. They do so through a variety of product formats, including aerosols, candles, potpourri and gels. By the late 1990s, sales of air fresheners in the United States had exceeded several hundred million dollars per year. One of the most successful new products are Glade Plug-Ins, which use heat generated by electric current to vaporize air-freshening ingredients. (Umbach, 1991)

Air fresheners are commonplace in many homes, as a way of covering up cooking odors, musty smells, dank air and bathroom odors, (William Ramsay, 2004). In recent times, many commercially made air fresheners have relied on use of chemicals and artificial scents, as well as using electricity and materials such as plastics and metals to create complicated air fresheners that create rather strong odors in the home environment, (William Ramsay, 2004). They are not generally a sustainable product and there are many excellent alternatives to such air fresheners.

1.2 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The study will cover the qualitative and quantitative analysis that is involved in the production of liquid and vapourised air freshener from local raw materials that is:

1.     Easy and accurate dispensing

2.     Safe use and transport without risk of spillage

3.     Long-term durability thanks to a tight sealing of the can and impossible of re-entry of microbial contamination during use

4.     Recyclable packaging

1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The project is aimed and designed to evaluate the production of liquid and vapourised air freshener with an attempt to show the key ingredient used in the production of liquid and vapourised air freshener. The study reveals that air freshener is a product designed to mask or remove unpleasant room odors. These products typically deliver fragrance and other odor counteractants into the air. Other objectives of these studies are stated below:

1.     To provide liquid and vapourised air freshener formulation that is easy to manufacture and does not require high temperature casting.

2.     It is provide liquid and vapourised air freshener formulation that includes greater than 10% fragrance.

3.     To provide liquid and vapourised air freshener that is stable and does not experience significant fragrance weeping across normal transportation temperatures of up to 30-50° C.

4.     To provide liquid and vapourised air freshener that is easily dissolvable in water, and creates a clear liquid composition that is free of large particles and clumps.

Other objective, aspects and advantages of this research will be apparent to one skilled in the art in view of the following disclosure, the drawings and the appended claims.
