DEFINITION OF TERMS
Latex- as found in nature is a milky fluid found in 10% of all flowering plants
(angiosperms). It is a complex emulsion consisting of proteins, alkaloids,
starches, sugars, oils, tannins, resins, and gums that coagulates on
exposure to air. It is usually exuded after tissue injury. In most plants, latex
is white, but some have yellow, orange, or scarlet latex.
Milling- process of breaking a solid material into smaller pieces
