Purified water is usually produced by the purification of drinking water or ground water.The impurities that may need to be removed are: inorganic ions (typically monitored as electrical conductivity or resistivity or specific tests)
Gelatin absorbs 5–10 times its weight in water to form a gel. [3] The gel formed by gelatin can be melted by reheating, and it has an increasing viscosity under stress (thixotropic). [3] The upper melting point of gelatin is below human body temperature, a factor that is important for mouthfeel of foods produced with gelatin. [5]
