To utilize the waste materials and develope wood adhesive from isolated bloods of slaughtered cow and pig and also to prevent water pollution, simple and rapid method of isolation and purification of plasma proteins from pig bloods with trichloroacetic acid(TCA) treatment was developed. Adding of TCA-precipitated blood powder to the phenol formaldehyde resin(PF) improved dry and wet strength of plywood and resulted in fast hot pressing times.

Simple and rapid method of purification of plasma proteins from bloods of slaughtered animals was developed and the proteins were applied to plywood products as a blood 히ue to utilize waste materials. Plasma protein was obtained by adding 2% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or 0.6 N HCI as optimal concentration to the supernatant, after centrifugation of bloods. Molecular properties of beef and pig plasma proteins were examined on SDS-PAGE. Application of blood glue to plywood was quite satisfactory compared to the synthetic amino resin by tensile-shear test for the strength of adhesive bonding.
