Heterophyllus) As An Alternative Sealant Was Experimental Research. in The Study The Independent

The study employed an experimental research design to test the efficacy of jackfruit sap as an alternative sealant. The independent variable was the jackfruit sap, while the dependent variable was the binder. Extraneous variables like the amount of water and plaster of paris were controlled. Fresh jackfruit was obtained from the market and its sap extracted by slicing and hanging the fruit. The extracted sap was then mixed with plaster of paris to produce the sealant. A weighing scale was used to measure the amount of sealant produced.

CHAPTER III

METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the kind of research and research design used for the study as well as the

procedures of the experiment.

Research Design

The kind of research used in determining the feasibility of jackfruit sap (Artocarpus

heterophyllus) as an alternative sealant was experimental research. In the study the independent

variable was the sap of the jackfruit tree (Artocarpus heterophyllus) . The extraneous variables

are the amount of water and plaster needed to concrete the sealant.

This study employs an experimental design in testing the efficacy of Jackfruit (Artocarpus

heterophyllus) sap as an alternative main ingredient for glue. Adi Bhat (2018) defined

experimental research design as “any research conducted with a scientific approach, where a set

of variables are kept constant while the other set of variables are being measured as the subject

of experiment”.

In this study, the independent variable will be the Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap. The

dependent variable or the criterion will be the binder. Extraneous variables that will serve as

extenders, since the sap, alone, cannot stand as an applicable adhesive, will be present
Materials and Equipment

The materials and equipments used by the researchers were graduated cylinder, weighing scale,

stirring rod, empty containers, 350 g of jackfruit sap, plaster of paris and a small old piece of

roof with leak or gap.

Gathering of materials

Fresh jackfruit was gathered at Sauyo Market Novaliches. Materials such as graduated cylinder,

weighing scale, stirring rod, empty containers were gathered from outside the campus.

Extraction of the sap from the jackfruit

The importance of this set up is to extract the jackfruit sap into liquid form.

The jackfruit was sliced into two parts. The slices were hanged with a container below on it for

about thirty minutes and more until all the saps were extracted. The saps were collected and put

on air-tight container and was set aside for the next procedure.

Production of sealant

After the collection of the extracted jackfruit sap, the plaster of Paris is placed in a plastic

container and mixed thoroughly with the extracted jackfruit sap at room temperature until the

solution is viscous.

Instrumentation
This study prefers to use the weighing scale to measure the exact amount of sealant that is

produced by the used jackfruit sap.
