00:00 Usually, calamansi is used to clean the trash.
00:04 But did you know that it has a beneficial effect on our health?
00:09 They say that okra can also be used as a toothpaste.
00:13 Katrina Son is a witness.
00:16 Calamansi peel.
00:21 Pili pulp and okra that was not bought because of the high price.
00:26 Usually, these are just thrown away.
00:28 But here, at the 2nd DOST Science and Technology Convention,
00:33 they are the stars.
00:34 They made ingredients for new products and innovations
00:38 that DOST showed to the public.
00:41 The Department of Science and Technology
00:44 aims to create new products from agricultural by-products.
00:48 For example, this toothpaste,
00:51 one of the ingredients used is okra.
00:53 This is a toothpaste using okra hydrocolloid.
00:56 Hydrocolloid is the slimy part of okra.
01:00 We used this as an ingredient for mixing toothpaste.
01:04 The calamansi peel has a beneficial effect.
01:09 If before, it was said that it has no benefit
01:11 and calamansi peel is just thrown away,
01:14 now it can be used as a dietary fiber
01:18 and it is good for our health.
01:21 Dietary fiber that can be mixed with your favorite drink.
01:24 It also has a capsule supplement.
01:27 It can cleanse the gut or intestines
01:29 and it helps with digestion.
01:31 From the peely pulp,
01:33 peely oil is formed that can be used as an alternative cooking oil.
01:37 Through these innovations,
01:39 agricultural by-products can be used without wasting.
01:43 It can also help farmers and small businesses.
01:48 These simple innovations can help our countrymen
01:52 who are not looking for a big income.
01:56 If their products, especially in agriculture,
02:01 are not wasted,
02:03 if their products are not wasted,
02:07 it means that they can earn more.
02:10 The so-called value addition of products in the DOST is important.
02:14 Instead of being thrown away,
02:16 it can be used as a dietary fiber.
02:17 The DOST is hoping that by introducing these products,
02:22 more people will be willing to adopt innovations.
02:27 The DOST is also encouraging scientists in the country
02:30 to work together for more innovations for Filipinos.
