"Mango As Alternative Ink": Researcher

This document summarizes a study that tested the effectiveness of mango extract as an ingredient for permanent marker ink. The researcher hypothesized that mango, which is known for its strong tanning properties, has potential as a natural and affordable alternative to commercial inks. The study aimed to determine if mango ink is effective in terms of absorption, stick consistency, and color. It also evaluated the acceptability of mango ink in terms of color, odor, absorption, and evaporation rate. The study found that mango ink performs similarly to standard ink in most areas but differs in evaporation rate and odor. Therefore, mango shows potential as an organic ink source that is more affordable and natural than commercial options.

“Mango as alternative Ink”

Researcher: Edison Pranada De Jesus

ABSTRACT
 In today’s modern world, almost every product has been commercialized and
people
sought for products that are more natural and cheaper instead.
The creation of ink with alternative ingredient to be commercialized is a
demand for the
artists, calligraphers as well as for the people. The researcher thinks that Mango
has great
 potentials in having an alternative permanent marker ink due to its strong
tanning color. The
researcher decided to test its effectiveness as an ingredient for permanent
marker ink.
This study was conducted as an attempt to discover an alternative source of
marker ink,
which is safe to users and even to the environment. Furthermore, the
researchers aimed to
determine the possibility of mango extract as a source of ink use for printing.
The study used the experimental method of research. The method is a highly
controlled
 procedure in which manipulated treatment or actions from a factor or
condition, called the
experimental variable !Mango extract" were applied upon another factor or
condition, called the
dependent variables !absorption, stick consistency and color" to determine the
effect of the
former upon the latter. other factors or variables were kept constant or e$ual so
that any
change in the dependent variables is attributable only to the independent
variable.
There is a significant difference between the two inks in terms of color,
absorption, andrate of evaporation but not in odor.Therefore, the mango ink is
possible source of organic ink, which is affordable than thecommercial inks
available in the market today.

Introduction:
A. Background of study: Permanent markers play an important role
in writing and in artworks in different ways. It was designed to create
various permanent writings on objects with enormous creative and
practical possibilities. Aside from its use in writing, it is also used in
labeling, poster creation and calligraphy. With infinite use of
permanent markers, many did not know that markers have
limitations. Usually, it is a problem for artists and calligraphers to
supply ink for the markers they are using.
Typically, the inks used in most markers are made from synthetic
materials like the petroleum and chemical solvents. These kinds of
materials are hazardous especially to the health of the users and to
the environment as well.
As been made into dyes, the Mango (Mangifera indica) can be an
alternative ingredient for ink instead of petroleum. The Mango
(Mangifera indica) is native to Southeastern Asia and found all over
in the Philippine archipelago. It is a large deciduous tree which is
very easily propagated from seeds or large cuttings. It is known for its
ability to take high polish, which is derived from the trees and its
alcoholic tincture that produces dark red color dye in wood and can
be used for tanning.
In today’s modern world, almost every product has been
commercialized and people sought for products that are more
natural and cheaper instead.
The creation of ink with alternative ingredient to be commercialized
is a demand for the artists, calligraphers as well as for the people. The
researcher thinks that Mango has great potentials in having an
alternative permanent marker ink due to its strong tanning color. The
researcher decided to test its effectiveness as an ingredient for
permanent marker ink.
B. Statement of problem: effectiveness of Mango (Mangifera indica)
extract as an ingredient for permanent marker ink.
This study attempted to determine the Specifically, it aimed to
answer the following questions:
1.
2.
3.
Is the Mango ink effective in terms of the following:
a. Absorption
b. Stick Consistency
c. Color
What is the acceptability of the Mango ink in terms of:
a. Color
b. Odor
c. Absorption
d. Rate of Evaporation
Is there a significant difference between the Mango ink and the
standard ink in terms of
Color, Odor, Absorption and Rate of Evaporation?

C. Significance of the Study


This study is significant to the following:
USERS. This study would be very beneficial to the users of
permanent markers. This study provides many advantages to them,
such as they would have a more natural and cheaper
way of having an ink for their markers.
AGRICULTURE. This study provides farmers and planters an
additional source of
income. Also, this will increase the number of Mango trees grown in
the Philippines
ENVIRONMENT. This study will help to replenish the Mango trees
that have been cut down.
OTHER RESEARCHERS. This will help other researchers as that it
will serve as additional information and will add factual concepts for
their review of related literature.

D. Scope and Delimitation of the Study


The study aimed to test the effectiveness of Mango (Mangifera indica)
bark extract to produce a permanent marker ink. This study limits its
coverage on the discussion of permanent marker ink production,
chemical testing of the sample ink, plantation of Mango tree and the
impact of the permanent marker ink in the environment. The study
focused on testing its effectiveness in terms absorption, stick
consistency and color;
including its acceptability in terms of color, odor, absorption and rate
of evaporation.
Out of two hundred forty eight pupils of Bazal Elementary School,
thirty of them were chosen as respondents to test the acceptability of
Mango (Mangifera indica) extract as an ingredient for permanent
marker ink. This study was conducted at Bazal Elementary School for
the school year 2016-2017.

E. Definition of Terms
Absorption. It is the ability of the ink to uptake into the fibers of the
paper as rated by the respondents.
Benzalkonium Chloride. In the study, it is an additive that prevents
the Mango bark ink from solidifying.
Effective. This refers to how the ink.
Ferrous Sulfate. In the study, it is the compound responsible for the
black coloration of the ink and is a disinfectant.
Glycerin/Glycerol. It refers to the ingredient responsible for the
increase in rate of extraction of the tanning in the pigment.
Mango bark. It is the source of extract as the main ingredient of a
permanent marker ink. Odor. It is how strong the scent of the ink as
rated by the respondents.
Rate of Evaporation. The rate of how fast the ink dries up as rated
by the respondents.
Stick Consistency . It is the consistency of the ink to stick in the
paper as rated by the
respondents.
