I. Introduction

A. Background of the study

Lemon grasses are much known as one of the ingredients in
cooking vain. Lemon grass refers to the green plants, called
producers. Although not all producers have green colors, there
are thousands of colors of species that do. All lemon grass
have the same kind of leaves. Lemon grass is one of the herbal
medical plant typing made up only one distinct layer. This
layer which is made up of mineral called phosphate. Lemon
grass contains mineral phosphate. This mineral is continent
used as anti oxidant that has each own essential function in
terms to heal the body pain. People used these for its body
healing. In this study, researchers study more about lemon
grass that can give contribution in healing body pains. The
purpose of this study is to find out and to determine the
effect of extract lemon grass as anti oxidant to the
affected part of the body.

II. Statement of the problem

- General Objectives

* To produce the oil ointment (anti oxidant) out of extract
lemon grass.
* To find out possible effect of extract lemon grass on the
body pain.

- Specific Objectives

This study aims to answer the following query:

* Can extract lemon grass be made into an anti oxidant?
* Is there a significant effect of using this kind of anti
oxidant?

III. Hypothesis

* Extract lemon grass can be made into an anti oxidant.

* There is a significant effect of using this kind of anti
oxidant.

IV. Scope and Limitation

This project is limited only on the effect of extract lemon
grass as anti oxidant (oil ointment). This is to determine
the amount of extract lemon grass to be used as anti oxidant
to the human body. It does not involve comparison between the
extract lemon grass and the commercial one as anti oxidant.

V. Significance of the study

This research project is important in order for us to know
whether or not extract lemon grass as anti oxidant may heal
the affected part of the human body.

VI. Definition of terms

* Extract obtain (a substance or resource) from something by
a special method.

* Ointment a smooth oily substance that is rubbed on the
skin for medicinal purpose.

* Anti oxidant a substance that prevents or inhibit
oxidation.* Producer first and lowest trophic level.

* Energy the strength and vitality required for sustained

I. Methodology

A. Materials:

2 kg. of chopped dry and fresh lemon grass kg. of oil1
strainer, electric stove, pot, knife1 ladle, mug, basin
(circumference of 150 cm.)

B. Procedure:

* Collection of Lemon GrassesAll the materials needed for
the study were gathered. The gathered lemon grasses were
washed and dried up under the heat of the sun. The dried
lemon grasses were chopped with the use of a knife. 2 (two)
kilograms of chopped dried and fresh lemon grasses were
weighed for the entire study.

* Preparation of Extract Lemon GrassIn preparing lemon
grass, the lemon grass must be 2 kilograms. After getting
the extract of lemon grass, mixed it in the boiled oil in
the pot.

* UsingFour bottles were made for the entire study. In
first bottle, seventy five (75) grams of commercial
efficascent and twenty five (25) grams of extract lemon
grass were given to the second treatment. In third bottle,
twenty five (25) of commercial efficascent and seventy
five (75) grams of extract lemon grass were given to the
third treatment. The forth bottle served as control,
meaning there was no additional of extract lemon grass.

II. Research Sampling

The quality of oil ointment with different proportions of
extract lemon grasses and commercial efficascent in first
trial.

Recommendation

More test should be done on the extract lemon grass anti
oxidant including physical appearance content tests, and
using of an instron puncture test machine to test the
quality effect, instead of using the hand on touch sense
used in this research.A more controlled variable for making
the (oil ointment) anti oxidant out of extract lemon
grass should be used.
