Abstract | Mosquito-borne illnesses are still a concern to world health, particularly in tropical and subtropical areas. An efficient defense against mosquito bites and the spread of these diseases is the use of mosquito repellents. Chemical-based mosquito repellents can be harmful to human health, especially to children and pregnant women. The use of natural plant-based components is a potential approach in the development of sustainable and eco-friendly mosquito repellents, which has gained popularity in recent years. In this study, we prepared a mosquito repellent dhoop using orange peels, as orange peels are a rich source of essential oils including limonene, which has been found to have mosquito-repelling qualities. This research article describes how orange peels can be used to make mosquito-repelling dhoop (incense) which is used to ward off mosquito. The orange peels are dried and ground into a powder, then they are combined with various ingredients like charcoal, camphor, turmeric and essential oils to make dough. After shaping the dough into cones or sticks, it is allowed to dry. It has been demonstrated that the resulting dhoop has substantial anti-mosquito capabilities and can offer protection for up to two hours. There are many benefits to using orange peels as a raw material for mosquito repellent dhoop, including its availability, affordability and environmental friendliness. Additionally, using organic materials from plants lessens exposure to synthetic chemicals and their possible health risks. Overall, our study demonstrates the potential of orange peels as a natural source of mosquito repellent and provides a simple and effective method for preparing a mosquito repellent dhoop. |
