  2. Gelatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin

    Gelatin is nearly tasteless and odorless with a colorless or slightly yellow appearance. [3] [4] It is transparent and brittle, and it can come as sheets, flakes, or as a powder. [3] Polar solvents like hot water, glycerol, and acetic acid can dissolve gelatin, but it is insoluble in organic solvents like alcohol. [3]

  3. Gelatin dessert - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin_dessert

    As the gelatin cools, these bonds try to reform in the same structure as before, but now with small bubbles of liquid in between. This gives gelatin its semisolid, gel-like texture. [20] Because gelatin is a protein that contains both acid and base amino groups, it acts as an amphoteric molecule, displaying both acidic and basic properties.

  4. Starch gelatinization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch_gelatinization

    A crepe being cooked. Starch gelatinization is a process of breaking down of intermolecular bonds of starch molecules in the presence of water and heat, allowing the hydrogen bonding sites (the hydroxyl hydrogen and oxygen) to engage more water.

  5. Bloom (test) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_(test)

    Bloom is a test used to measure the strength of a gel, most commonly gelatin.The test was originally developed and patented in 1925 by Oscar T. Bloom. [1] The test determines the weight in grams needed by a specified plunger (normally with a diameter of 0.5 inch) to depress the surface of the gel by 4 mm without breaking it at a specified temperature. [2]

  6. Solubility chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility_chart

    The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.

  7. Ballistic gelatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_gelatin

    Ballistic gelatin is traditionally a solution of gelatin powder in water. Ballistic gelatin closely simulates the density and viscosity of human and animal muscle tissue, and is used as a standardized medium for testing the terminal performance of firearms ammunition. While ballistic gelatin does not model the tensile strength of muscles or the ...

  8. Animal glue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_glue

    Animal glue in granules. Animal glue is an adhesive that is created by prolonged boiling of animal connective tissue in a process called rendering. [1] In addition to being used as an adhesive, it is used for coating and sizing, in decorative composition ornaments, and as a clarifying agent.

  9. Gelignite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelignite

    Gelignite (/ ˈ dʒ ɛ l ɪ ɡ n aɪ t /), also known as blasting gelatin or simply "jelly", is an explosive material consisting of collodion-cotton (a type of nitrocellulose or guncotton) dissolved in either nitroglycerine or nitroglycol and mixed with wood pulp and saltpetre (sodium nitrate or potassium nitrate).
