Abstract
This study focused on sensory evaluation and general acceptability of
hand sanitizer (verabeny) produced from local raw materials – garlic and
aloe vera with 30% ethyl alcohol. Verabeny hand sanitizer was produced
and compared with two other types of commercial alcohol – based (60% -
70%) hand sanitizer’s purchase from local market. Sensory attributes
studies included: colour, texture, and odour. General acceptability was also
compared. A 5-point hedonic rating scale was used for data collection. The
panel of judges was drawn from a group of Home Economics students.
Data were analyzed using means. The result indicated that verabeny
compared well with the two commercial hand sanitizer samples in all
sensory attributes except odour.
