description The objectives of this study are to investigate the recovery and application of spent coffee ground (SCG) tannin as wood adhesive, meanwhile to discover the properties of tannin / lignin adhesive, which are currently underexplored. The modelling and simulation of analyses revealed that the optimum extraction conditions were; 5 % sodium hydroxide concentration, 100 °C extraction temperature, 30 minutes of extraction time and 8.23 liquid to solid ratio, so that tannin with a high extraction yield (21.02 %) and high reactivity (29.69 %) could be recovered. The structural characterization by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) and solid state cross polarisation-magic angle spinning carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (CP-MAS 13C NMR) as well as matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometric analyses concurrently agreed that the SCG tannins comprised of condensed (catechin, fisetinidin, gallocatechin and gallocatechin-3-O-gallate) and hydrolyzable (chebulic acid) tannins with a degree of polymerization up to dimer.
