Abstract

The experiment utilizing Mayana leaves and Alugbati extract to create an alternative highlighter ink yielded results supported by strong evidence. The researchers systematically tested various ingredient ratios to optimize product quality, leading to a successful outcome. The researchers employed an experimental research design using ingredients such as Mayana and Alugbati extracts, salt, and sugar. The study focused on determining the precise proportions of each component necessary to produce an effective alternative highlighter ink. A series of experimental trials were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the formulated ink. The researchers achieved optimal measurements and gained valuable insights into producing an alternative highlighter. The findings highlighted the cost-effectiveness of the ink and demonstrated its potential educational value. The developed highlighter ink was found to be effective, producing a stronger hue, emitting a milder odor, and allowing easy removal from the skin. Despite its affordability, the ink demonstrated notable efficacy and practicality for users.
