Chapter II: Review of Literature

A.Review of Literature
When I searched Google about the homemade glue, there were many related
study. Some use cassava flour in making glue some use Styrofoam, honey in
making. When I found out that milk can also be used as alternative glue
combining with the other ingredients in making homemade glue.

The glue that Ill be experimenting is called Casein Glue.

Casein glue is the name for a family of related phosphoproteins (S1, S2, ,
). 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 ratus 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.
