The Feasibility of Making Glue out of Lanzones Sap


ABSTRACT
The researcher would like to find out if there are any usesof Lanzones peels because people are use to throw it after eating.After several resesarch , the researcher found out that the sap in the Lanzones peels has a potential in making glue because of sticky characteristics of the sap.
So this is why I conducted this study to lessen the commercial glue which is very expensive nowadays.

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study:
Nowadays people usually eat fruits like lanzones. Lanzones is very delicious and aside from that it is very nutritious. And lanzones is one of the most popular fruit in the country. But we noticed that after we eat lanzones we will just throw the skin in the garbage and sometimes we will see it in the market near the streets, that make our environment dirty.
So this is the purpose that we conduct this study to help recycling the skin of lanzones by making glue out from its sap. Because the sap of the skin of lanzones is extremely sticky that can be a good characteristic of a glue. And aside from that, we can keep our environment clean and we can help also those students who used glue. Because commercial glue nowadays become more expensive and they cannot afford it. So this are the purpose that we conduct this study.

Statement of the Problem:

1.)Is there a possibility that lanzones sap be made as glue.

Hypothesis:

1.)There is a possibility that lanzones sap be made as glue.

Significance of the Study:

The importance of this study is to help recycle the skin of lanzones. Instead of throwing it we will make it a good substitute from the commercial glue out from its sap. So because of this study we can help specially students who used glue. Because commercial glue nowadays become more expensive, and some students cannot afford it. And we can help our environment maintain its cleanliness.

Scope and Limitation:

There are some fruits that can be made as glue but this study covered only about tha lanzones sap. Because it has a characteristics that can be made as glue. So it covers only about the lanzones skin sap.

Definition of Terms:

1.)Sap - circulating fluid of a plant.

2.)Lanzones - ''Lansium domesticum'' from the family Meliaceae; a popular fruit of the Phillipines.

3.)Glue - to stick or fasten.

PROCEDURE:
1.)Materials were gathered.
2.)Fresh lanzones fuits were peeled.
3.)The sap were collected and were measured.
4.)The glue was applied to paper.

Review Of Related Literature

Lanzones fruit is very popular fruit in southeast Asian countries like Indonesia, malaysia, Phillipines and etc.These kind o fruits grow wild and in cultivated plantations in southeast asia. In the Philippines, over 75 % of all lanzones is grown in Sulu province, a revelation for me as I always thought Laguna and the Southern Tagalog region was the primary area of cultivation outside of Camiguin in Misamis Oriental.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION




Amount of glue Time to dry

Trial 1 2ml 23 sec.

Trial 2 4 ml 29 sec

Trial 3 6ml 46 sec


During the experiment, I prepare and set the materials and steps needed to perform the experiment properly.I get lanzones peels and extract it. After getting the sap I put it in a bottle and applied it into paper.

SUMMARY

CONCLUSION

I therefore conclude that the Lanzones Sap can be made into Glue.

RECOMMENDATION

The researcher recommends to conduct further experiment to improve the product because the time to made it is limited.
