Significance of the Study

                        The use of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) seed as another source of bioethanol will be of great help to the following:

                        Community. It may lessen the pollution in the environment especially in the atmosphere due to its nearly complete combustion as only a very little amount of carbon monoxide is formed. The use of bioethanol has been gaining worldwide acceptance for the following reasons:

1.  It is a much cleaner fuel. Bioethanol’s high oxygen content reduces carbon monoxide levels and significantly reduces harmful exhaust emissions.

2.  It boosts the octane levels to help the car run smoothly. As an octane enhancer, ethanol can cut emissions of cancer-causing benzene and butadiene by more than 50%.
3.  It is biodegradable and has no harmful effects to the environment.
                        Jackfruit Farmers. Instead of treating the Jackfruit (Artocarpus Heterophyllus) seed as waste, Jackfruit Farmers may use the seeds as their source of income.

                        Researchers. This research may serve as their basis for another research. It can be a foundation that may strengthen other ideas.

  3. Hi, the dependent variable is "Feedstock for bioethanol" while the independent variable is the "jackfruit seed." The jackfruit seeds can be manipulated in the experiment so it is also considered as the experimental variable.

  4. Well, they did a great job but for my own opinion, they are too many for this investigatory project. This can be done by 2-3 persons.
