Characterization of used cooking oil (UCO) and orange peels as the medium of insect repellent / Miradatul Najwa Muhd Rodhi, Puteri Nur Syareena Saifuddin and Harumi Veny
Used cooking oil (UCO) is abundant waste oil in Malaysia, due to its daily use in frying food. The proper way to dispose UCO is yet to be found and creating awareness among Malaysians on disposing and recycling UCO required a long period of time. Therefore, alternative needs to be taken to solve thi...
