Knox Gelatin

Knox Ingredients Technology (KIT), successor to Knox Gelatine, a wholly owned subsidiary of Thomas J. Lipton, Inc., is a major producer of HVP s, and of a line of "Tastemaker Natural and Artificial Flavorings" based on them. Recent press releases by KIT are quite explicit about the role of Maillard reaction products in the more sophisticated versions of these flavoring agents.

The surface tension method has been employed by several workers to study protein/surfactant interaction. Figure 31 presents data of Knox and Parshall (132) that illustrate the behavior of mixtures of SDS and gelatin (above its isoelectric point). Interaction is evident from the existence of a surface tension plateau signaling the initiation (Ti) and completion (T2) concentrations of SDS, according to the model for interaction described earlier. These arrests, together with the characteristic crossover of the with- and without-polymer curves, clearly support such a picture. Two explanations of the observed interaction are (1) SDS...

Acetate Buffer, pH 6, Containing 0.16 M Sodium Chloride. 0.1 M buffer is prepared by combining 3 ml. of 0.5 M acetic acid, 97 ml. of 0.5 M sodium acetate, and 4.384 g. of sodium chloride and diluting to 500 ml. with water. 2 mg. per milliliter of gelatine ( Knox for intravenous use ) and 10 mg. per milliliter of thiomer-salate are added to the buffer (80). The pH should be checked frequently.
