As the study of Rahman N.

(2018), the jackfruit seed has a lot of potential in food

binding agent

According to the Article 2017 ID 432718(H.Mowry) Jackfruit excretes an extremely

sticky latex substance from the rind and parts of the jackfruit. Jackfruit sap can be

used as an alternative ingredient in the production of roof sealant. Jackfruit is one of

the most significance trees in home garden and perhaps the most widespread and

useful tree. It is a medium-sized amaranthine tree mostly reaching 8- 25 meters in

could be a major issue, such as easy roof failure due to poor quality, it is difficult to

find a solution in this problem, especially since almost all of us are experiencing

financial difficulties We know that the sap is extremely sticky and can be used as an

effective roof sealant

The purpose of this research is to determine whether the sap extracted from.

Jackfruit ( (Artocarpus heterophyllus) can be used as alternative ingredient in the

manufacture and production of roof sealant. The primary goal of this research is to

develop an organic and safe alternative. In addition m due to the rising market price

of commercial roof sealant, the researchers devised a homemade sealant using

materials that can be easily gathered
