An Investigatory Project on Powdered Eggshell as an Additive for Toothpaste

Vol.3, No.1D

Abstract

This research aims to see how efficient Powdered Eggshells are for manufacturing teeth-whitening toothpaste. One of the issues that respondents face is determining the level of acceptability regarding affordability, fragrance/scent, and product presentation. The research is required to inform consumers about the product's advantages. There are no colours or artificial components in organic toothpaste. Plant extracts, natural minerals, and antimicrobial essential oils may delicately and efficiently clean your teeth while battling germs. Organic and natural toothpaste, like regular toothpaste, refreshes the breath. Customers' demands will likely be met using organic items from the market. The study's research design was quantitative experimental research with purposive sampling approaches. Frequency and percentage, weighted mean, and t-test were employed to determine the difference between this study's two groups of respondents. 

The researchers used a questionnaire to determine the degree of acceptance of powdered eggshells regarding ingredients, effectiveness, procedural methods, and presentation. The study's participants include 5 STEM teachers and 16 STEM students. The study's ingredients, effectiveness, procedural methodology, and presentation findings are highly acceptable. STEM Teachers' overall weighted mean was 4.27, considered Highly Acceptable, while STEM Students' overall weighted mean was 3.75, also viewed as Highly Acceptable. The calculated t-value was 3.90, while the crucial t-value was 2.02. It means there is no discernible difference between the respondents' opinions. Respondents indicated that the researchers focus mostly on refining the product based on components, efficacy, and presentation for future project development. Additionally, searching for high-quality components will likely aid researchers in achieving their main goal: building an effective and helpful product.
