 ABSTRACT
In this experiment the researchers proved that milk can be used
to make glue. To improve the adequacy, the researchers make
glue from other types of milk. This will increase the accuracy of
our results and make them more adhesive. Researchers could
extend the experiment such that we find out what can be added
to the glue to make it last for longer, and so it can have a longer
shelf life. The researchers can make your lives productive using
these glue, so that your lives could be easy, compostable and
etc. The homemade glue product was used in designing
projects, notebooks, and etc. Being a natural product, it is likely
to be more environmentally friendly and more cost effective in
the long run should it go into mass. The researchers take
another experiment on there homemade glue by adding a
powdered milk. During there experiment, the greatest amount
of baking soda added to achieve a suitable consistency to the
non- fat milk. From this experiment the researchers conclude
that the strongest milk glue was the made from the powdered
milk. The researchers have found that as a result, powdered milk
makes the best milk glue. The researchers also added starch,
when it is added in glue it strengthens it.
 CHAPTER I:INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The scientific name of glue is “Cyanoacrylates”.
We searched in Google about the homemade glue, there were many related study. Some use cassava
flour in making glue some use Styrofoam, honey in making. When we found out that milk can also be
used as alternative glue combining with the other ingredients in making homemade glue.
The glue that we'll be experimenting is called “Casein Glue.”
Casein glue is the name for a family of related phosphoproteins (αS1, αS2, β, κ). These proteins are
commonly found in mammalian milk, making up 80% of the proteins in cow milk and between 20% and
45% of the proteins in human milk. Casein has a wide variety of uses, from being a major component of
cheese, to use as a food additive, to a binder for safety matches. As a food source, casein supplies amino
acids, carbohydrates, and the two inorganic elements calcium and phosphorus.
Milk is a white liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals. It is the primary source of nutrition
for young mammals before they are able to digest other types of food. Early-lactation milk contains
colostrum, which carries the mother's antibodies to the baby and can reduce the risk of many diseases in
the baby. It also contains many other nutrients. As an agricultural product, milk is extracted from
mammals during or soon after pregnancy and used as food for humans. Worldwide, dairy farms produced
about 730 million tons of milk in 2011. India is the world's largest producer and consumer of milk, yet
neither exports nor imports milk. New Zealand, the European Union's 28 member states, Australia, and
the United States are the world's largest exporters of milk and milk products. China and Russia are the
world's largest importers of milk and milk products. Throughout the world, there are more than 6 billion
consumers of milk and milk products. Over 750 million people live within dairy farming households. Milk
is a key contributor to improving nutrition and food security particularly in developing countries.
Improvements in livestock and dairy technology offer significant promise in reducing poverty and
malnutrition in the world.
Vinegar
Are liquids consisting mainly of acetic acid (CH3COOH,) and water. The acetic acid is produced by the
fermentation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria. Vinegar is now mainly used as a cooking ingredient, but
historically, as the most easily available mild acid, it had a great variety of industrial, medical, and
domestic uses, some of which (such as a general household cleanser) are still promoted today. There are
many types of vinegar such as: coconut, cane balsamic, apple cider and many more.
Baking soda or Sodium Bicarbonate
Is the chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is
crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. It has a slightly salty, alkaline taste resembling that of
washing soda (sodium carbonate). The natural mineral form is nahcolite. It is a component of the mineral
natron and is found dissolved in many mineral springs. It is among the food additives encoded by
European Union, identified by the initials E 500. Since it has long been known and is widely used, the salt
has many related names such as baking soda, bread soda, cooking soda, and bicarbonate of soda. In
colloquial usage, its name is sometimes shortened to sodium bicarb, bicarb soda, or simply bicarb. The
word saleratus, from Latin sal æratus meaning aerated salt, was widely used in the 19th century for both
sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate. The term has now fallen out of common usage.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
1. Is it effective?

2. Are the ingredients easy to find?

HYPOTHESIS
We, the researcher, hypothesized that our homemade glue using milk can be alternative glue encase of
emergency when there is no available glue. You can just make your own and it's easy to make and find
the materials.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Everybody can benefit from this study, because without this kind of study, especially the students. It can
benefit the students when they need to paste their test results in their notebooks. In making their school
projects and they have projects to make in their respective houses.

The people who will benefit from this home-made glue are the following:

1st are we, as a Student we all need glue to sticking our test results in our notebooks.

2nd is the people who works in the office might need glue because they use it as the paste their finished
product to be submitted to their boss.

3rd is the teachers, they will need in order to paste the students test result in the notebook.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATIONAL OF THE STUDY

The aspects were covered by the study is that students don’t to buy commercial glues which are
expensive. They can just make their own glue using milk and other ingredients which are only found in
the house.

It may take a couple of hours to make.

The limitations of the study that we should know is that to make homemade glue using only materials
found in our house no need to buy expensive glue. Just make your own homemade glue, it’s easy and
affordable.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Casein glue - made from casein; used for e.g. plywood and cabinetwork

· Casein- the main protein present in milk and (in coagulated form) in cheese. It is used in processed
foods and in adhesives, paints, and other industrial products.

· Sodium Bicarbonate- sodium bicarbonate used in cooking, for cleaning, or in toothpaste.

· Vinegar- a sour-tasting liquid containing acetic acid, obtained by fermenting dilute alcoholic liquids,
typically wine, cider, or beer, and used as a condiment or for pickling.
