Abstract

This research examines the possibility of making an antibacterial foot deodorizer from Moringa seeds in order to reduce the pesky foot odor produced by sweating. These seeds possess antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties, which were utilized to produce three forms of deodorizer: gel, liquid, and powder. The present study assesses these forms of deodorizers based on their smell, appearance, soothing property, and texture using a sample of students and workers/teachers. Experimental design : Mixture of Moringa seed extract and essential oils, ethyl alcohol, glycerin, baking soda, agar-agar, water. Acceptability on formulation showed very high acceptability level across the different formulations. Teachers / workers accepted it more than students in most attributes. Statistically significant differences between the two groups reflect variations in standards and sensory sensitivity of consumers and workers.   In conclusion, the Moringa-based foot deodorizers were found to be acceptable and highly accepted by users on their scent and texture and soothing effects, which hints at its ability to become an effective, natural alternative commercial product. However, improvement in preparation methods and safety testing should be made to make the product commercially viable and safe for the consumer.
