Gelatine solution

To the remainder of the gelatin solution, add 0 5 to o 8 g. of finely powdered commercial trypsin and incubate at 40 . Carry out the formaldehyde titration on 25 ml. samples at intervals as above. 

Coa.cerva.tlon, A phenomenon associated with coUoids wherein dispersed particles separate from solution to form a second Hquid phase is termed coacervation. Gelatin solutions form coacervates with the addition of salt such as sodium sulfate [7757-82-6] especially at pH below the isoionic point. In addition, gelatin solutions coacervate with solutions of oppositely charged polymers or macromolecules such as acacia. This property is useful for microencapsulation and photographic apphcations (56—61). 

Complex Coacervation. This process occurs ia aqueous media and is used primarily to encapsulate water-iminiscible Hquids or water-iasoluble soHds (7). In the complex coacervation of gelatin with gum arabic (Eig. 2), a water-iasoluble core material is dispersed to a desired drop size ia a warm gelatin solution. After gum arabic and water are added to this emulsion, pH of the aqueous phase is typically adjusted to pH 4.0—4.5. This causes a Hquid complex coacervate of gelatin, gum arabic, and water to form. When the coacervate adsorbs on the surface of the core material, a Hquid complex coacervate film surrounds the dispersed core material thereby forming embryo microcapsules. The system is cooled, often below 10°C, ia order to gel the Hquid coacervate sheU. Glutaraldehyde is added and allowed to chemically cross-link the capsule sheU. After treatment with glutaraldehyde, the capsules are either coated onto a substrate or dried to a free-flow powder.

Pipette lOmL of a cadmium sulphate solution (1.0gCd2+ L-1) into a 100 mL graduated flask, add 2,5 mL of 0.2 per cent gelatin solution, 50 mL of 2 M potassium chloride solution and dilute to the mark. The resulting solution (A) will contain 0.100gCd2+ L-1 in a base solution (supporting electrolyte) of 1 M potassium chloride with 0.005 per cent gelatin solution as suppressor. 

Bohidar et al. 1998, realized studies of Sol and Gel state properties of aqueous gelatin solutions of concentrations 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% (w/v) were investigated through dielectric relaxation studies done at various temperatures in the range from 20 to 60°C carried out over a frequency range 20Hz-10MHz and no relaxation of any nature was observed. 

Olivares et al. (2006), studies performed viscometers very dilute gelatin solutions with concentrations between 10-5 and 10-3 g/cm3, where either intermolecular aggregation or intramolecular folding are possible, respectively, and the sol-gel transition is not observed.

Colloids. The overall incidence of reactions has been estimated to less than 0.22%. Gelatins and dextrans are more frequently incriminated than albumin or hetastarch. Evidence for IgE-mediated adverse reactions to gelatin has been reported. Adverse reactions to dextrans were estimated to 0.275%, when it was 0.099% for albumin and 0.058% for hydroxyethyl starch solutions, and 0.03% for gelatin solutions [22, 23]. 

This is an insoluble gelatin foam produced by whisking warm gelatin solution to a uniform foam, wtiieh is then dried. It ean be cut into suitable shapes, paeked in metal or paper containers and sterilized by dry heat (150°C for 1 hour). Moist heat destroys the physical properties of the material. Immediately before use, it ean be moistened with normal saline eontaining thrombin. It behaves as a meehanieal haemostat providing the ftamewoik on wtiieh blood elotting ean oeeur. 

By measuring the optical rotation as it changes with time, after a gelatin solution is rapidly cooled to the temperature of interest, and extrapolating back to zero time, one can determine the initial specific rotation. It is approximately constant with the concentration, but varies with temperature. This initial specific rotation probably represents that of the sol molecule at that temperature before it is converted into the gel form.

The viscosity of gelatin solutions is vital to the control of the thickness of the cast film. Viscosity is measured on a standard 6 % w/w solution at 60°C in a capillary pipette and generally the range of 30-60 millipoise is suitable.
