ABSTRACT
A candle is an ignitable wick embedded in wax or another flammable solid substance such as
tallow, that provides light and in some cases a fragrance. A candle can also provide heat or a
method of keeping time. The good quality of beeswax depends greatly on the production methods.
There are two wax extraction methods: melting and chemical extraction. Our aim is to prepare
scented candles by using extraction of Nerium oleander and Malus sylvestris which contains anti-
bacterial properties.
