The primary purpose of this study is to The primary purpose of this study is to ascertain the effect of Marang (ascertain the effect of Marang (ArtocarpusArtocarpus odoratisimusodoratisimus) seeds as a potential source of ) seeds as a potential source of biodiesel.biodiesel.

Specifically, it will attempt to answer the Specifically, it will attempt to answer the following questions:following questions:

1.)Are Marang (1.)Are Marang (Artocarpus odoratisimusArtocarpus odoratisimus) seeds oil ) seeds oil extracted is feasible in biodiesel?extracted is feasible in biodiesel?

2.)Are Marang (2.)Are Marang (Artocarpus odoratisimusArtocarpus odoratisimus) seeds has a ) seeds has a high percentage composition of oil?high percentage composition of oil?

Objectives of the StudyObjectives of the Study

This study aimed to do the following:

1.)To determine if the oil extracted from Marang (Artocarpus odoratisimus) seeds is feasible in biodiesel.

2.)To determine the percentage composition of oil in Marang (Artocarpus odoratisimus) seeds.

HypothesesHypotheses

Based on the research problem, the researcher formulated the following hypotheses:

1.)The oil extracted from Marang (Artocarpus odoratisimus) seeds is not feasible in biodiesel.

2.) A Marang (Artocarpus odoratisimus) seed does not have high percentage composition of oil.

Significance of the StudySignificance of the Study

This study is expected to augment the knowledge of the people on how the Marang (Artocarpus odoratisimus) seeds work as a potential source of biodiesel. Results of this study could serve as essential guide and tool for economic services of the government officials and other sectors that would implement primary projects and outstretch programs in the country.

The researcher believe that sufficient knowledge and information about the potential source of biodiesel using the Marang (Artocarpus odoratisimus) seeds will help convince people to use this plant rather than expensive biodiesels considering our economic status today.

It is hoped that this study will benefit students and educators who wish to broaden their knowledge about using the Marang (Artocarpus odoratisimus) seeds as a potential source of biodiesel.

This study is believed to yield information and will facilitate government programs in extending and advocating assistance and educational awareness and improve the quality of life of the people within the area.

Scope and Delimitation of the Scope and Delimitation of the StudyStudy

This study utilized Marang (Artocarpus odoratisimus) seeds as a potential source of biodiesel.

Only fifty kilograms of Marang (Artocarpus odoratisimus) seeds will be used in this study.
