    (Citrus sinesis L.) Peels is a by-product of peeled oranges and are meantfor disposal.

    But there are


    studies that had seen the potential of these so-calledwastes that are beneficial for humans. D-limonene
    is a terpene that is found in orange peel oils. This component isvery lethal to insects. According to
    scientists the oil extracted from orange peelsended the lives of their insect specimens upon contact with
    the oil. This means thatorange peels is an effective active ingredient to get rid of insects
    especiallymosquitoes and cockroaches. There are ways to extract essential oil from plants, butsteam
    distillation is the most effective way of extracting the oil from orange peels.Steam distillation is the
    distillation of a liquid in a current of steam, used especially topurify liquids that are not very volatile and
    are immiscible with water.Insecticides nowadays are synthetically made, but researchers have found
    thatsome active ingredients used in commercial insecticides are giving side-effects to theperson
    affected. Inhaling them causes the victim to be not able to breathe properly,while skin contact leads to
    rashes and itching. Knowing that it is currently being usedin the households, it may lead to serious
    infections and diseases in the futures.In line with this, the study, “Steam Distillation of Orange (Citrus
    sinesis L.)Peels as a Raw Material for the Production of Natural Insecticide” aims tolessen the waste
    disposal of orange peels and to propose an alternative insecticidethat is less harmful than the
    commercial product, but conforms to the standards of themarket.REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATUREP a g

    others using different insect pests), conducted byUniversity of Georgia entomologists, revealed that the

    As a current student on this bumpy collegiate pathway, I stumbled upon Course Hero, where I can find
    study resources for nearly all my courses, get online help from tutors 24/7, and even share my old
    projects, papers, and lecture notes with other students.

    I cannot even describe how much Course Hero helped me this summer. It’s truly become something I can
    always rely on and help me. In the end, I was not only able to survive summer classes, but I was able to
    thrive thanks to Course Hero.

    The ability to access any university’s resources through Course Hero proved invaluable in my case. I was
    behind on Tulane coursework and actually used UCLA’s materials to help me move forward and get
    everything together on time.

    The orange is the fruit of the citrus species Citrus × sinensis in the family Rutaceae, native to China. It is
    also called sweet orange, to distinguish it from the related Citrus × aurantium, referred to as bitter
    orange. The sweet orange reproduces asexually; varieties of sweet orange arise through mutations.
