CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION AND ITS BACKGROUND

I. Introduction and Background of the Study

By reducing the reliance on commercial glues and hazardous chemicals, this

alternative can address the increasing demand for environmentally-friendly
products.

Paper glues play a critical role in crafting, and it can be used as a sustainable
and natural substitute for traditional commercial glues.

Students can also utilize this eco-friendly material for their school projects such
as science fair displays, posters, and dioramas, while also learning about the
significance of environmental conservation and sustainable practices.

Additionally, pineapple extract glue can be utilized for packaging applications

such as sealing boxes or envelopes, providing an eco-friendly alternative to
traditional commercial glues. their accessibility to students underscores the
importance of finding natural materials.

Synthetic materials have harmful effects on the environment, and finding

alternative sources of glue has become a top priority.

Pineapple extract contains enzymes called Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme

present in pineapple stems and fruit, functions as an adhesive by breaking down
proteins, allowing it to adhere to surfaces. This results in a "sticky" surface that
can bond with other surfaces, and the breakdown of proteins leads to surfaces
fusing together, creating a robust bond. The versatility of bromelain in breaking
down a wide variety of proteins makes it an effective adhesive for various
applications.

This paper aims to investigate the viability of using pineapple enzyme extract as
a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional glue. This approach can
offer significant economic and environmental benefits for the community,
particularly in educational and work settings

CHAPTER 2

Moreover, bromelain is a natural enzyme, rendering it non-toxic and

biodegradable, which is beneficial for the environment and makes it a more
sustainable alternative to traditional commercial glues.. Previous studies have
shown the effectiveness of bromelain, opening the door to further research and
develop of pineapple extract glue as a substitute for traditional commercial glue.
