Food Thickening Agent Gelatin Food Grade

Description

Gelatin, colourless to light yellow solid, in powder, flakes or lumps. Glossy, odourless, tasteless. Relative molecular mass about 50.000-100.000. relative density 1.3-1.4. insoluble in water, but when immersed in water, it can absorb 5-10 times the water and swell and soften. if heated, it dissolves into a colloid and becomes a gel when cooled to below 35-40°C. if the aqueous solution is boiled for a long time, the nature changes due to decomposition and no longer forms a gel after cooling. Insoluble in ethanol, ether and chloroform, soluble in hot water, glycerin, propylene glycol, acetic acid, salicylic acid, benzodicarboxylic acid, urea, thiourea, thiocyanate and potassium bromide, etc. It does not coagulate at concentrations below 5% and usually forms a gel at 10% to 15% of the solution. The temperature of gelation varies with concentration, co-existing salts and pH. Viscosity and gel strength vary depending on the relative molecular mass distribution and are also influenced by pH, temperature and electrolytes. If the solution is exposed to formaldehyde, it becomes an irreversible gel insoluble in water. The product is susceptible to moisture absorption and spoilage due to bacteria and care should be taken when storing it. When hydrolysed, various amino acids are obtained.

Application

1. Edible Gelatin. It is an important ingredient and additive in the food industry. It is often used as a gelling agent, stabilizer, emulsifier, thickener and clarifier in the production of meat products, cakes, ice cream, beer, juice, etc.

2. Biofilm materials. The most studied gelatin-based membrane materials at home and abroad are mainly chitosan-gelatin blend membranes, gelatin-silk fibroin blend membranes, polylactic acid-gelatin blend membranes, and polyvinyl alcohol-gelatin blend membranes. The physical and chemical properties of gelatin are improved, and the gelatin-based polymer membrane material is more functional.

3. Medical fiber. Blending spinning with other composite materials Chemicalbook and gelatin to improve the mechanical properties of gelatin-based medical fiber materials.

4. Organization repair and replacement. The use of gelatin-based composite materials as scaffold materials for tissue engineering and signal molecule carriers is one of the current research hotspots in biomaterials. The gelatin solution forms a hydrogel after cross-linking. The water in it is a porogen, which forms a porous scaffold material after freeze-drying. The porosity and pore size can be adjusted by changing the freezing parameters. Therefore, ideal gelatin-based tissue engineering materials can be designed according to different tissue repair requirements.

5. Industrial gelatin. Used in the manufacture of fiber textiles, insulating materials, paper, holographic materials, etc.
