Abstract

Acacia nilotica plants are available in the Asia, Australia, Africa, Egypt, Sudan and some Nile basin countries South of Mozambique and Natal, Pemba and India, Arabia forest in large quantity and each year millions of tone fruit of acacia nilotica is wasted from this acacia nilotica plant fruit we can extract liquid which having binding adhesive property because of its binding adhesive property it can used in the manufacture of plywood from waste wooden powered which is form while cutting wood and from other wooden industries large amount of wooden powder is form which can be used in the manufacture of plywood by using acacia nilotica fruit extract After extracting liquid from fruit of acacia nilotica. Solid waste of acacia nilotica is remains after extracting fruit liquid use for feeding of animal which is useful for goat and other pet animal such as buffaloes, cows, and bullock etc.it is multipurpose and leguminous plant. It is the source of tannins, gums, timber, fuel, fodder and medicines. Acacia nilotica plant fruit extract shows antibacterial activity. Binding adhesive liquid is prepared by using different alcohol such as methanol, ethanol etc. in different composition. By using photochemical reaction we can increase binding adhesive property of plywood which can be used for various purposes because it has high load bearing capacity and high compressive strength, hardness of material which is depend upon the composition of the materials and nature of the photochemical reaction. It is used as traditional medicine Anticancer and antitumours Antiscorbutic Astringent Diuretic Intestinal pains and diarrhoea Nerve stimulant The plant is also known to be used for colds, congestion, coughs, dysentery, fever, gallbladders, Haemorrhages, leucorrhoea, ophthalmic, Sclerosis, smallpox and tuberculosis. Fruits of this plant contains a high percentage of phenolic constituents consisting of mdigallic acid, Gallic acid, its methyl and ethyl esters, protocatechuic and ellagic acids, leucocyanidin, mdigallic dimer 3,4,5,7-tetrahydroxy flavan3ol, oligomer 3,4,7-trihydroxy flavone 3,4diol and 3,4,5,7-tetrahydroxy flavan3ol and (−) epicatechol. Fruit also contains mucilage and saponins.
