Review of Related 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 I’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.
