Hydrodynamic Properties of Gelatin – Studies from Intrinsic Viscosity Measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gelatin is a natural polymer widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, photographic, and food industries. It is obtained by denaturation and partial hydrolysis of fibrous collagen. Collagen is the most abundant structural protein of animals and by far the main organic component of skin and bone of vertebrates. However, collagen is standing for a family of proteins with 21 different types of aminoacids described to date. Skin and bones, the raw materials for gelatin manufacture, mainly consist of type I collagen and a small fraction of type III collagen. Each type I collagen molecule consists of polypeptide chains are twisted into left-handed helices. The rod like triple-helical collagen molecules is arranged in a parallel but staggered orientation to form fibrils (Meyer & Morgenstern 2003).

متن کاملRheology and viscosity scaling of gelatin/1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride solution
Gelatin/1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride solutions are prepared by using the ionic liquid 1-allyl-3methylimidazolium chloride as solvent. The rheological properties of the gelatin solutions have been investigated by steady shear and oscillatory shear measurements. In the steady shear measurements, the gelatin solutions with high concentration show a shear-thinning flow behavior at high shea...

متن کاملInterplay of particle shape and suspension properties: a study of cube-like particles.
With advances in anisotropic particle synthesis, particle shape is now a feasible parameter for tuning suspension properties. However, there is a need to determine how these newly synthesized particles affect suspension properties and a need to solve the inverse problem of inferring the particle shape from property measurements. Either way, accurate suspension property predictions are required....
