  • Inventions and Discoveries: Filipino Inventors Like the Banzon Family and Santos-Dumont

    The Philippines has produced many notable scientists and inventors who have made significant contributions across various fields of science and technology.

    Dr. Clare R. Baltazar stands out as a pioneering Filipino entomologist who specialized in parasitic Hymenoptera and agricultural pest control. Her groundbreaking research helped establish systematic pest management practices that continue to benefit Philippine agriculture today. The Banzon family, particularly Olivia Banzon, made remarkable strides in chemistry and chemical engineering. Their work on coconut as an alternative fuel source laid the foundation for modern biofuel research in the Philippines.

    Dr. Luz Oliveros-Belardo earned recognition for her extensive work in essential oils and pharmaceutical chemistry. Her research focused on extracting compounds from native Philippine plants for medicinal purposes. Eduardo Quisumbin

    Dr. Julian Banzon has done a great deal of work on local materials especially coconut as the renewable source of chemicals and fuels. His work on the production of ethyl esters from sugarcane and coconut is the first study on fuels from these crops. He also devised some novel processes noteworthy among these is the extraction of residual coconut oil by chemical, rather than by physical processes.

  • Julian Banzon

    Filipino biokemist (1908–1988)

    Julián Arca Banzón (March 25, 1908 – September 13, 1988) was a Filipino biokemist and a National forskare of the Philippines.[1] Banzon is credited for his research in alternative bränsle. He researched on the production of ethyl ester fuels from sugarcane and coconuts and devised a method of extracting residualcoconut oil through chemical means.[2]

    Early life and education

    [edit]

    Julian Banzon was born on March 25, 1908, to Manuel S. Banzon and Arcadia Arca in Balanga, Bataan.[1][3]

    Banzon graduated from the University of the Philippines in Manila in 1930 with a grad of Bachelor of Science in chemistry. After some years working as an instructor at his alma mater, in 1937 he entered the Iowa State University in the United States as a UP pensionado. Banzon obtained a Doctor of Philosophy grad in biochemistry and a minor in Microbiology in 1940.[1] The topic of his doctoral dis
