Introduction and its Review of Related Literature
Nowadays, many types of pastes are made of Polyvinyl Acetate that are possibly
carcinogenic to humans, but there’s no evidence yet that the main component of making
a paste had caused a cancer to humans. But as we all believe in a saying “ Prevention is
better than cure ”. Prevention in a sense to reduce the potential to create faults from
occurring or developing into major defects.
Paste is a term for any very thick viscous fluid. ( Wikipedia ) In this study, it refers
to an adhesive. It can be called an adhesive if it wets the surface, adheres to them,
develops strength once applied, and finally, remains stable after sticking the materials
( Packer, John ).
Jackfruit ( artoccarpushererophyllus ) or also known as jack tree or simply jak is a
species of Artocarpus genus and is widely abundant in the part of South and Southeast
Asia but is believed to have originated in the Southwestern rainforest in India. It is
cultivated in tropical regions - that includes the Philippines. Studies have proven Jackfruit
sap has the ability to become glue for it contains a substance which is required to form
adhesive, called latex. (Wikipedia).
Banana is a fruit which is categorized in the genus Musa, Musa species are native
to tropical Indomalaya and Australia but are known to have been first organized in Papua
New Guinea. However, a species of wild banana which is native to Southeast Asia is
Musa acunintia. (Wikipedia) Banana, on the other hand, contains starch which is also
vital form a paste.

Banana Sap as Adhesive
The study aims to make use of banana sap and other Organic products as
effective components in improving the quality of glues. It aims to determine these
improvements through comparing with organic glues. It is done by making the banana
sap glue, cassava starch glue, and glue from rice and egg white ( Aguilos, 2014 ).

Adhessive
The Utilization of Jackfruit Sap as Adhesive
This study aims to determine the possibility use of jackfruit sap to develop toxic-
free and all natural adhesive. Jackfruits were gathered and their saps were extracted.
The researchers of this study compared their product with a commercial glue. The
materials tested were papers and woods ( A team, 2013 ).

Statement of the Problem
The effectiveness of banana and jackfruit to be an adhesive main component in
making a paste and sought the following questions:
1. What type of surface of paper can the product bind:

A. bond paper
B. manila paper
C. oslo paper
D. art paper
E. glossy paper
2. How fast does the product dry:
3. How strong can the product bind:
4. Does the product’s bond strength depend on its drying duration:
Hypothesis
H1: Banana and jackfruit effective as the main components in making a paste.
H0: Banana and jackfruit ineffective as the main components in making a paste.
Scope and limitation
The focus of this study is to prove the efficacy of jackfruit
(Artocarpusheterophyllus) and Banana (Musa acinibita) as an adhesive by producing a

paste out of Jackfruit exocarp and Banana starch. This study will be conducted at
kapatagan Lanao del norte.
The product may take days due to the collection of jackfruit and Banana exocarps
as well as performing the process involved. The study is limited to the material, the
product’s strength to bind, and how fast the product dries compared to regular paste.
This study was experimented for thirty days. This study will provide a useful
success for industrial and economical business of the Philippines, thus the Philippines is
abundant of the main materials which is jackfruit, and banana exocarp.
The product of the study will not be tested in a laboratory.

Blending of the banana starch and
jackfruit exocarp mixture

Preparation of
materials
Materials:
1. One kilo of jackfruit
2. One fourth kilo (1/4) of banana
3. Knife (1)
4. Spoon (1)
5. Mortal and pestle
6. Pot
7. 50ml of water
8. Electric stove
Procedures (This is modified on the work of John Kenneth Fulgencio, Halyn Luna
Gambao, Ella Marie Inciong, & Ryan Javier)
I. Source of materials
a) Prepare the materials to be used in making the paste
First things first, prepare the materials that are listed above to be used in
making the paste: 1. One kilo of jackfruit, and one fourth of bananas are
freshly acquired in the market. 2. The knife, spoon, mortal & pestle, pot,
and water can be acquired in the household. 3. While the electric stove or
an ordinary stove can be acquired in the market.
II. Extortion of the jackfruit and banana exocarp

a) The first step was to peel off the jackfruit exocarp including the small parts
from its outer flesh. The peeled jackfruit exocarps were then sliced to
small pieces fit enough for pounding. As for the bananas, their peel’s inner
thin layers were scraped and collected using knife and spoon, and were
later pounded to form a mushy texture. The collection of both fruits’ parts
was done simultaneoulys.
III. Making the jackfruit and banana paste mixture

a) Then the 44gs of jackfruit exocarps were placed in a pot containing 50ml
of water and were boiled using an electric stove, left to boil for 17
minutes.
b) After 17 minutes where in the water in the pot was completely gone, the
mixture was then put into a blender to partially crush the hard and block
like pieces of the jackfruit exocarp in the mixture.

c) After the blending process which lasted for about five to seven minutes,
the mixture was pounded again using the mortar and pestle until it gave
off the texture similar to a paste.

IV. Testing of the product
a) The jackfruit and banana paste mixture will be applied to different surfaces
of paper, such as: oslo, bond paper, glossy paper, and manila paper. The
efficacy of the product will be tested by the paste’s bond duration and bond
strength.
Binding paper of different surfaces will be depending on the efficacy of the paste’s
bond strength applied on the papers. There may be more than one kind of paper
surface that the product can bind. This will be tested by applying the product to
different kinds of paper such as:
1. Bond paper
2. Manila paper
3. Oslo paper
4. Art paper
5. Glossy paper
Measuring of the bond strength will be done using different levels of wind
strength using the anemometer: level one is assigned to be 9 m/s; level 2 is 10 m/s and
level 3 is 11 m/s. This will be tested by applying the product, increasing in amount every
trial onto the papers, then will be bonded to the surface of its kind and left to dry,
then exposed to the different wind strengths using a fan.
Measuring for the dying duration will be done using a timer while it’s left to dry
while bonded.
