This study was conducted to determine the effect of duck feet gelatin concentration on the physicochemical, textural and sensory properties of duck meat jellies. Duck feet gelatin was prepared with acidic swelling and hot water extraction. In this study, four duck meat jellies were formulated with 3, 4, 5, and 6% duck feet gelatin, respectively. In the preliminary experiment, the increase in du...

Most users of ordnance gelatin for ballistics studies are apparently unaware of the detrimental effects on this tissue simulant's properties caused by excess heating in reconstitution of the gelatin powder. Material published by the Gelatin Manufacturers Institute of America states that heating gelatin above 40 degrees C can be detrimental to its properties. The manufacturer of type 250 A Ordna...

1. The analysis of isoelectric gelatin by the Van Slyke method indicates 0.00040 equivalents of amino N per gm. gelatin. 2. If deaminized gelatin is prepared without heating, the product contains less nitrogen than the original gelatin by an amount equal to 0.00040 equivalents N per gm. protein. 3. Deaminized gelatin, prepared either with or without heating, contains no amino nitrogen detectabl...

1. In order to complete the demonstration that the viscosity of suspensions of powdered gelatin in water is influenced by electrolytes in a similar way as the viscosity of solutions of gelatin, it is necessary to prove that the characteristic valency effect exists also in the case of the viscosity of suspended particles of solid gelatin in water. This proof is furnished in Fig. 1. 0.5 gm. of fi...

The usage of gelatin hydrogel is limited due to its instability and poor mechanical properties, especially under physiological conditions. Divalent metal ions present in gelatin such as Ca(2+) and Fe(2+) play important roles in the gelatin molecule interactions. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of divalent ion removal on the stability and mechanical properties of gelatin ...

1. Cooper's gelatin purified according to Northrop and Kunitz exhibited a minimum of osmotic pressure and a maximum of opacity at pH 5.05 +/-0.05. The pH of solutions of this gelatin in water was also close to this value. It is inferred that such gelatin is isoelectric at this pH and not at pH 4.70. 2. Hydrogen electrode measurements with KCl-agar junctions were made with concentrated solutions...

UNLABELLED Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) is the U.S.A.'s largest commercial fishery, with an annual catch of over 1 million tons. During pollock processing, the skins are discarded or made into fish meal, despite their value for gelatin production. The absence of gelatin-processing facilities in Alaska necessitates drying of the skins before transport to decrease the moisture content, ...

Gelatin isolated from limed split wastes can be a high value product due to its special characteristics and has many potential future applications in Food, functional additives, Food and pharmaceutical industries. Concentrations of sodium hydroxide, sulfuric and acetic acids used in processing gelatin from Narrow barred, Carcharhinus Leucas, Siganus Sutor and Indo Pacific king mackerel skins af...

in our previous work, the effect of use of a water soluble cdi/nhs system as nontoxic cross-linking agent on fabrication of gelatin nanoparticles was investigated. in this research, the effect of variation in some synthetic parameters of gelatin nanoparticles cross-linked by cdi/nhs system such as type of gelatin and formulation of cross- linking agent on their size and distribution was examine...

the effects of nano titanium dioxide incorporation were investigated on the water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability, and antimicrobial properties of bovine gelatin films. the nano tio2 (tio2- n) was homogenized by sonication and incorporated into bovine gelatin solutions at different concentrations (e.g. 1, 2, 3, and 5% w/w of dried gelatin). the permeability of the films to water vapor a...
