The study aimed to test the feasibility of using gumamela flower petals to flavor ice cream. Researchers conducted a taste test between an experimental gumamela ice cream and a branded ice cream. Results showed no significant difference in taste, texture, aroma, or appearance between the two ice creams. A second study explored using gumamela petal extract to create a homemade perfume. Researchers found that boiling gumamela petals produced a floral scent that could be captured in water and preserved with alcohol to create a natural perfume at low cost. A third study tested a gumamela leaf extract as a treatment for abrasions, finding it could heal wounds over three days but was not as fast-acting as commercial antiseptics.

Abstract
The research study was conducted to find the feasibility of the gumamela flowers as flavoring for ice cream. The presence of nutritional components in gumamela petals led the researcher to utilize it as flavoring to one of the most favorite dessert of young and old alike. It aimed to find an alternative ingredient that would be beneficial to the health of the people and would be acceptable as to its appearance, taste, texture, and aroma.
After the processes of preparing, cooking, mixing, blending and freezing of the gumamela ice cream, the researcher conducted a taste test. The experimental gumamela ice cream was labeled as A and a branded ice cream was labeled as B. Twenty eight (28) respondents graded the A and B from the scale of 1 to 5 wherein 1 the lowest and 5 is the highest. The results were tabulated and a t-test for two independent samples was used to determine if there is a significant difference between the experimental product and the branded ice cream in terms of the given parameters.
Results showed that there is no a significant difference between the experimental
and the branded ice cream.
Transcript of INVESTIGATORY PROJECT REPORT
INVESTIGATORY PROJECT REPORT Gumamela Extract as Perfume St. Alphonsus
Catholic School
SY 2012- 2013 In this study, we intend to make homemade gumamela perfume.
These days, prices of goods have been constantly increasing, and one of these goods is perfume. Perfumes are usually of higher price so this study can help people, especially women to save more. Instead of buying expensive onew, they can now try making their own perfume with the use of natural resources like gumamela petals.
I. PROBLEM STATEMENT/ OBJECTIVE We can make our own perfume with the use of gumamela petals. II. HYPOTHESIS -Gumamela petals
-Water
-Pan
-Ethyl Alcohol
-Piece of cloth
III. MATERIALS
Firstly, place the gumamela petals in a piece of cloth and tie it up. Place it in a a pan filled with water and let it boil for a few minutes. When the boiling water turns into a reddish pink hue, take out the water and place it in another empty pan. Let it cool. When it is warm enough, put the water with the gumamela scent in a spray bottle. Add ethyl alcohol then shake.
IV. PROCEDURE After a few procedures and experimentation, we've found out that a home-made gumamela perfume can be a good substitute for perfume. When boiling the wrapped gumamela petals in the water, it's juices came out and mixed in with the water, changing its color and giving out a gumamela flower scent on it.
V. FINDINGS Therefore, we conclude, that boiling petals in water can take out its oils and scents to mix in with the water. Home-made gumamela perfume is definitely not hard to make and the scent of the home-made perfume can fairly catch up with expensive perfumes sold on commercial stores.
VI. CONCLUSION We recommend to future researchers not to boil the gumamela
petals without wrapping it with a piece of cloth because it will create a very foul smell instead. Do not boil it for a long time as well to avoid burnt smell on the water.
We also recommend to experiment trying on other flower's petals as well. VII.

This study aims to test the feasibility of gumamela leaves extract as a cure for abrasions. The researcher has seen the effect of commercial antiseptic and would like to determine if gumamela leaves extract can be an alternative. The researcher will conduct this study to inform others the benefit of herbal plant, gumamela. This can also help other people to have an antiseptic right away without going to a pharmacy. Using 20g of gumamela leaves (20g), beaker, strainer, water, and mortar and pestle the researcher conducted an experiment. In making the gumamela leaves extract. First,the materials will be gathered. Second, the collected gumamela leaves will be washed. Third, the washed gumamela leaves will be pound using mortar and pestle. Fourth, the extract will be strain and lastly the extract will be put in a container. After that, it will be applied to the wound and observe it for three days. In this study there are two set-ups: antiseptic made with gumamela leaves extract and commercial antiseptic which is the control of the study.After the experiment it shows that gumamela leaves extract can cure abrasions. However, it is not that good like the commercial antiseptic. Thus, the researcher would like to recommend further analysis of the other parts of the gumamela plant that can cure wounds. It is also recommended to investigate further in using the gumamela leaves extract in other wounds.

In dermatology, an abrasion is superficial damage to the skin, generally not deeper
than the epidermis. It is more superficial than an excoriation, although it can give mild bleeding. Mild abrasions do not scar, but deep abrasions may lead to the development of scarring tissue. Materials:
-gumamela leaves (20g)
-beaker -strainer -water -mortar and pestle
Procedure:
In making the gumamela leaves extract. First, the materials will be gathered. Second, the collected gumamela leaves will be washed. Third, the washed gumamela leaves will be pound using mortar and pestle. Fourth, the extract will be strain and lastly the extract will be put in a container.
Application:
The application will be done within three days with two individuals.
Observation:
Th researcher will observe the wound applied with the gumamela leaves extract if it is cured or not. It will be observe within three days. Chapter IV: Results and Discussions
In this chapter, it tries to discuss the observation noted on the experiment and the characteristics of gumamela leaves extract and commercial antiseptic.
Table 1: Characteristics of the gumamela extract and commercial antiseptic
Legend for odor: 1- smells bad (a little) 2- smells bad 3- smells like an antiseptic
According to the table it shows that gumamela leaves extract and commercial antiseptic have different characteristics: odor, color, and texture.
Table 2: Results (Daily)
Legend: 1- no effect 2- partly cured 3- cured
The table shows that gumamela leaves extract can cure abrasions but commercial antiseptic is faster in curing the abrasions. It takes two days to cure abrasion when using the gumamela leaves extract while it only takes one day for the commercial antiseptic to cure it.
Chapter V: Conclusion and Recommendation
Conclusion
The researcher,therefore,finds that gumamela leaves extract can cure abrasions but commercial antiseptic is faster in curing the said injury.
Recommendation
The researcher would like to recommend further analysis of the other parts of the gumamela plant that can cure wounds. It is also recommended to investigate further in using the gumamela leaves extract in other wounds.
