Introduction
artwork. For instance, certain artwork requires specific materials in order to make work
easier, and glue is one of those materials that plays a crucial role, particularly for paper
crafts.
Glue is one of the essential material to make a creative project more manageable.
Since it sticks things well and helps keep everything in order. Furthermore, glue is very
important because it serves as a bonding agent that can hold materials together, enabling
applications, known for its effectiveness in bonding various materials. However, when it
is applied, it often contains solvents that can evaporate and produce strong odors. These
solvents are necessary to keep the adhesive workable but can lead to unpleasant smells
during application and drying. Polyvinyl acetate is basically a kind of glue, and it's pretty
good at sticking stuff together on various surfaces. But it got some extra chemicals keep
For this reason, the researchers aim to develop an organic alternative glue for
students who hate the smell of glue. Based on the study of Allejo et al. (2024), the
mucilage in the upper part of the Albelmoschus esculentus has a slimy texture. This
society. So the researchers explored it and found out that it can be an alternative glue.
Moreover, in the recent study of Mosaad (2021), Aloe barbabadensis miller can serve as
an alternative to glue due to its unique properties like viscosity, making it suitable for
applications. Aloe barbadensis miller can be used as a natural adhesive because of its
sticky texture makes it good for binding materials. It's a simple and effective way to stick
Futhermore, adding Cananga odorata into our organic adhesive glue, which is
primarily derived from Abelmoschus esculentus and Aloe barbadensis miller, aims to
enhance the adhesives scent profile. Chaoyun et al. (2014), asserted that the appealing
scent of Cananga odorata has made it popular in perfumery and aromatherapy. Its
fragrance is often used to create calming and relaxing environments, further enhancing its
desirability.
This project aims to develop an alternative organic adhesive that is made from
Albelmoschus esculentus and Aloe barbadensis miller. This research seeks to achieve

Definition of Terms
The following terms were use during the course of this research study:
Albelmoschus esculentus. A blooming plant that is commonly grown for its delicious
green pods, sometimes referred to as lady's finger or okra. It belongs to the mallow
family and is frequently used in cuisine, especially when making stews and soups.
(Sketcher, 2016).
Aloe barbadensis miller. The scientific name for Aloe vera, a plant known for its health
belonging to the Annonaceae family. It is renowned for its fragrant flowers. (Chen et al.,
2024).
Alternative. Represent the necessity of making choices, where one option is selected
Organic. Products or materials are those made without the use of artificial chemicals or
derived from living organisms. Organic materials are generally environmentally benign

Adhesive”.
Albelmoschus esculentus
esculentus is widely used in various cuisines around the world. It can be prepared in
esculentus grows in warm climates, so that is why it is easy to find in our tropical
country. Adnan et al. (2021) explained that the immature green pods of Albelmoschus
esculentus are usually consumed as vegetables, while the extract of the pods also serves
as a thickening agent in numerous recipes for soups, as well as sauces, to augment their
viscosity. Albelmoschus esculentus, not only enjoyed as a nutritious vegetable but also
used as a glue to join paper. Although its adhesive qualities are suitable for small-scale
uses, such papercraft or art projects. Gorb et al. (2024). Albelmoschus esculentus not only
serves as a natural paper adhesive suitable for papercrafts, though it needs improvement
to match industrial glue strength, making it a promising eco-friendly option.
outstanding adhesive properties that are on par with those of synthetic adhesives, plus
organic glue and has possible uses in a number of industries, such as the arts.
Albelmoschus esculentus slimy stuff can be used to sticks things, almost as well as
synthetic glues. And it's totally natural and eco-friendly. Albelmoschus esculentus can
cause allergy reaction because some people may have an allergy or sensitivity to
Albelmoschus esculentus. Symptoms may include itching, hives, tingling in or around the
species that is widely recognized for its medicinal and nutritional properties. Also, Aloe
barbadensis miller belongs to the genus Aloe and part of the Asphodelaceae family. It is
a perennial plant that thrives in arid climates and is characterized by its thick, fleshy
leaves. The gel extracted from the leaves of Aloe barbadensis miller is rich in vitamins,
minerals, and amino acids. It contains vitamins A, C, E, and B vitamins. Baset et al.
(2024). This plant, part of the Aloe family, does well in dry climates. Its thick leaves are
filled with gel, which has essential nutrients Furthermore, Aloe barbadensis miller can be
a useful alternative glue in simple tasks, especially when you want something that is
natural, biodegradable, and safe to use. Fuentes and Femenia (2018). This means it’s a
good choice if you’re looking for an eco-friendly option that’s also safe to handle.
Gomez et al. (2020), explained that Aloe barbadensis miller gel has a notable
synthetic adhesives. Its non-toxic and biodegradable qualities make Aloe barbadensis
miller a workable material for making natural, organic adhesives. Aloe barbadensis
miller is generally safe, but it can cause mild skin reactions, such as itching or burning, in
some people. To avoid side effects, use Aloe barbadensis miller on a small patch of skin
first and check for any signs of irritation or allergies. Lawrenson (2019). Aloe
barbadensis miller Its non-toxic and biodegradable nature means it won’t harm the
environment, making it a great choice for creating organic and safe adhesives.
Cananga odorata
Indonesia, and the Philippines. It is commonly found in rainforests and grows well in
warm regions. The flowers are known for their unique star-like shape and are highly
aromatic. The essential oil extracted from the flowers of Cananga odorata is widely used
in aromatherapy and perfumery due to its sweet, floral scent. Fujimoto et al. (2014).
Additionally, because of its pleasant aroma, Cananga odorata essential oil can be used
Ghiasvand et al. (2021). Due to the pleasant odor of Cananga odorata, we considered
applying Cananga odorata as one of the ingredients in the creation of organic glue
Aloe barbadensis miller for creating an alternative glue is an innovative and eco-friendly
while Aloe barbadensis miller ensures moisture retention and a smoother texture,
enhancing the adhesive's effectiveness. The floral fragrance of Cananga odorata adds a
pleasant sensory aspect making the glue more sustainable. In the study by Groot and
Schmidt (2017), the flowers of Cananga odorata are primarily used to extract Cananga
odorata essential oil, which is highly valued in perfumery and aromatherapy. The oil is
known for its sweet, floral scent and is often used in cosmetics and personal care
products. This approach leverages organic materials for adhesion while introducing an
to the study of Groot and Schmidt (2017), Cananga odorata, may cause allergic
responses. Since Cananga odorata oil has a compound of isoeugenol that is a recognized
skin sensitizer and can trigger allergic reactions, it is important of not applying neat
Cananga odorata oil to the skin due to the risk of allergic reactions in sensitive
individuals. Even if it triggers an allergy in others, it will not be put on someone's skin. It
will only be blended to have a fragrant scent. It also has positive aspects, such as its
widespread use in the fragrance industry and its potential for further research into safer
statistical data treatment, the materials and procedures for organic adhesive glue and

Research Specimen
The researchers will use two (10) pieces of paper as a sample to test the
effectiveness of two groups: five (5) for the commercial glue and five (5) for organic
adhesive glue made of Albelmoschus esculentus and Aloe barbadensis miller with
Cananga odorata. Five paper will be glued using organic adhesive glue, while the other
five paper will be glued using commercial glue. The researchers will observe if there is
any significant difference between organic glue made of Albelmoschus esculentus and
In this investigation, the researches will employ the independent T-test, often
known as the Two Sample T-test. According to Berger and Fritz (2015), an independent
t-test compares the means of two separate groups to determine if there is a statistically
significant difference between them, assuming the samples are independent. The T-test is
the most appropriate to use to determine the significant difference of the organic adhesive
glue out of Albelmoschus esculentus, Aloe barbadensis miller, and Cananga odorata in

Table 1.
Table 1 shows the t-test result comparing the effectiveness of organic glue and
white craft glue when used on paper. We observed the effectiveness of organic glue and
commercial glue using stopwatch. We used ten (10) papers to observed its effectiveness.
The study involved five trials (A–E), where the first trials has a 12s in organic
glue, and the white craft glue has 10s. In the second trial, the results of organic glue have
10s, and then the white craft glue has the same result in the second trial. The third trial of
the organic glue had 13s and the white craft glue has the same result. The fourth trial of
organic glue had 12s while the white craft glue had 14s. Then in the last trial, the result of
the organic glue was 14s, and then in white craft glue was also 14s. While the mean of
both glues was 12.2, meaning they performed equally. According to Huang et al. (2022),
Albelmoschus esculentus and Aloe barbadensis miller both have strong adhesive qualities
that are on par with those of traditional adhesives like white craft glue. Albelmoschus
Organic Glue made of Albelmoschus esculentus in paper applications has been explored
through various studies, revealing that both types can perform comparably under certain
Comparison of Organic Glue and White Craft Glue in Terms of Adhesion, Skin
Adhesion
The bond strength and stickness in the table was the result of the comparison of organic
glue and white craft glue in terms of adhesion. We conducted a survey to gather
information on adhesion, skin sensitivity, and respiratory effects. Only one (1) case
showed that organic glue had a weaker bond strength, while one (1) case showed that it
had a stronger bond. In the remaining three (3) cases, there was no difference in bond
strength. Therefore, the results indicate that there is no significant difference in bond
strength between the two glues. Aloe barbadensis miller mucilage has demonstrated
good bioadhesive properties, with a force of adhesion higher than some synthetic
In terms of stickiness, two (2) cases showed that white craft glue was stickier
than organic glue, while one (1) case showed that organic glue was stickier than white
craft glue. In two (2) cases, both glues had equal stickiness. As a result, the findings on
stickiness show mixed results. In the study of Garg et al. (2023). The mucilage, or
Skin Sensitivity
The less burning skin, less irritation skin, less hives, and less itching in the table
was the result of the comparison of organic glue and white craft glue in terms of skin
sensitivity. There were no cases where white craft glue caused less burning sensation than
organic glue. This means that organic glue results in less burning sensation overall. In
three (3) cases, organic glue caused less burning than white craft glue, while in two (2)
For skin irritation, there were no cases where white craft glue caused less
irritation. In two (2) cases, organic glue caused less skin irritation than white craft glue.
Meanwhile, three (3) cases showed no difference in irritation levels between the two
types of glue. Using Albelmoschus esculentus and Aloe barbadensis miller as adhesives
reveals that both materials have a low potential for irritation, making them appropriate for
a range of uses. It has been demonstrated that Aloe barbadensis miller gel works well in
hives. One (1) case reported that organic glue caused fewer hives than white craft glue,
As for itching, there were no cases where white craft glue caused less itching.
Two (2) cases reported that organic glue caused less itching than white craft glue, while
three (3) cases were tied, indicating that most participants did not perceive a difference in
itching between the two types of glue. Both Albelmoschus esculentus and Aloe
barbadensis miller adhesives are biocompatible and biodegradable, making them safer
Respiratory Effects
The less nasal congestion and less trouble breathing in the table was the result of
the comparison of organic glue and white craft glue in terms of respiratory. There were
no cases where white craft glue resulted in less nasal congestion. Three (3) cases reported
that organic glue caused less nasal congestion than white craft glue. Two (2) cases
showed no difference in nasal congestion levels between organic glue and white craft
glue. The use of organic glue made from okra and aloe vera may indeed result in less
For trouble breathing, there were no cases where white craft glue caused less
trouble breathing. One (1) case reported that organic glue caused less trouble breathing
than white craft glue. Four (4) cases showed no difference in trouble breathing between
organic glue and white craft glue. Compared to chemical-based adhesives, which
frequently contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other toxic substances,
Albelmoschus esculentus mucilage poses fewer health risks, making it safer to use in
schools.Buenaceda (2020). Furthermore, In the study Tanaka et al. 2016). glue made
from Aloe barbadensis miller cannot cause respiratory effects due to its safety is
nuanced. While Aloe barbadensis miller has been recognized for its medicinal properties
Table 3.
Significance difference between the Organic Glue and White Craft Glue.
Organic Glue and White Craft Glue in terms of time. 5Both glues had the same mean
(12.50), with a mean difference (MD) of .00. The t-value is .00, and the p-value is 1.000,
Since the p-value is not statistically significant, this indicates that Organic Glue
and White Craft Glue have the same effect in terms of time. Any slight variations in
results are likely due to random factors rather than an actual difference in performance.
Some participants reported minor differences in bond strength, stickiness, and skin
reactions, but these differences were inconsistent across trials. However, since the
majority of results showed no significant difference, it can be concluded that both glues
Table 4.
Organic Glue has a significantly milder scent than White Craft Glue
statistically significant difference between Organic Glue and White Craft Glue in terms
A z-score of 2.060 indicates that Organic Glue was ranked higher than White
Craft Glue in terms of having a less intense scent. The p-value of 0.39 is less than the
significance level of 0.05, which means we reject the null hypothesis. This indicates that
there is a statistically significant difference between the two glues regarding scent
intensity. The comparison between Albelmoschus esculentus-based glue and white craft
glue reveals that while both exhibit similar effectiveness, their scent profiles differ
significantly, with Albelmoschus esculentus glue being more fragrant. This distinction
arises from the natural compounds present in Albelmoschus esculentus, which contribute
Organic Glue has a less intense scent compared to White Craft Glue. Cananga
odorata helped enhance the scent of our Organic Glue. Based on the study of Nkede et
al. (2023). Cananga odorata essential oil has been shown to be effective in enhancing the
scent of alginate-based films, indicating its potential for use in glue formulation. Overall,
organic glue and white craft glue both perform the same effectiveness but in terms of
study.
