What is the bakcground of the study of the feasibility of used cooking oil as an additive component in making candles?

• Answer:

  History of candles tells us that early Americans made candles in the Autumn season. They would learn how to make candles out of necessity not just for fun. People spent hours boiling down the fat of newly slaughtered beef and sheep into tallow. The job was hot and sweaty, and the odor of the rendering fat was also unpleasant and the product was far from perfect. The candles burned too fast, buckled in warm weather, and gave off fumes and smoke. Other sources of wax were favorable such as bayberry and beeswax. Both were expensive and candles made from them were reserved for special occasions. It was not until the discovery of paraffin in the 1850's that the average family could enjoy the luxury of bright, steady, smokeless illumination. Today, candles are not only for light purposes but it can be used as a home decoration, novelty collections, main decoration for big occasions such as wedding, birthday, baptismal, etc. and scented aromatherapy. Candles are made of different types of waxes and oils. Cooking oil is a major ingredient in Filipino households. It is also often used in different food preparations. When cooking oils are discarded by the people/person who use it, they just throw it in canals and sewerage systems which can be the cause that the canals and sewers are clogged.
