Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study

Through history, humans had a thirst for knowledge and development. From the beginning of human kind, the discoveries made by our race have shaped our  future forever. We have always wanted to know why things happen and why we always want to push the boundaries of what are possible. This has led to some of  the greatest discoveries man had in different fields of endeavors. Glue has been an important material at home, at school and at office. Most of  the commercially available glue is claiming to be non-toic. !owever, it is still uncertain of this claim since they contain preservatives that may harm both the user  and the environment. "ase "asein in,, a prot protei ein n obtai obtaine ned d from from milk milk,, has has been been long long prov proven en to play play an important role in the production of glue. #t can be obtained from milk by means of  adding vinegar into the milk. The curd formed from the reaction is mied with baking soda. The produced glue from milk may vary in consistency depending upon the amount of milk, and other raw materials used. $ther research conducted claims that glue made from milk casein is waterproof and can be used for bottle labeling and cigarette packaging. !ow !owever ever,, fres fresh h milk milk is know known n for for its its rich richne ness ss in calc calciu ium m and and thus thus its its importance for the bones. %side from this, it also contains more than & other  essential nutrients. #t contains proteins that are important to fight diseases, renew cells, build muscles and maintain healthy hair and nails, carbohydrates which gives

To the 6ociety. #f this product is found to be effective, then old and spoiled milk which is usually thrown away will turn out an economic resource that would contribute to the economic well-being of the society8 and To Future 1esearchers. $ther researchers would be encouraged to discover  economic benefits from other potential raw materials.

Scope and %!m!tat!on of the Study

The study dealt with the creation of a domestic product out of old and spoiled milk. $ther necessary raw materials of minimal proportions were used to bring about the desired product. 1esults of the study were delimited to the feasibility of the eternal use of the produced natural glue which has been tested by consumers via the "onsumer   %cceptability 6urvey. #t was etended by comparing the cost of production of the natural glue to its commercial counterpart through cost benefit analysis.

Conceptual &rame'ork

The study focused on determining determining the potential potential use of old or spoiled milk as raw material in the production of strong natural glue. Few people have eplored the possibilities of using this material in combination with other raw materials to create a useful product. This This study study made made use use of the the #npu #nputt-
