  2. Gelatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin

    Gelatin is an irreversibly hydrolyzed form of collagen, wherein the hydrolysis reduces protein fibrils into smaller peptides; depending on the physical and chemical methods of denaturation, the molecular weight of the peptides falls within a broad range.

  3. Polyampholytes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyampholytes

    Gelatin is a well-known example of a protein-derived polyampholyte. It is derived from collagen, a structural protein found in connective tissues, and contains both acidic (anionic) and basic (cationic) amino acid residues, making it capable of exhibiting amphoteric behavior. The unique combination of these charges allows gelatin to interact ...

  4. Starch gelatinization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch_gelatinization

    The gelatinization temperature of starch depends upon plant type and the amount of water present, pH, types and concentration of salt, sugar, fat and protein in the recipe, as well as starch derivatisation technology are used. Some types of unmodified native starches start swelling at 55 °C, other types at 85 °C. [3]

  5. Biopolymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopolymer

    Elevated temperatures cause the gelatin to melts and exists as coils, whereas lower temperatures result in coil to helix transformation. Gelatin contains many functional groups like NH2, SH, and COOH which allow for gelatin to be modified using nanoparticles and biomolecules. Gelatin is an Extracellular Matrix protein which allows it to be ...

  6. Gelatinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatinase

    These specific proteases use hydrolysis to break down gelatin through two sequential steps. The first produces polypeptide products, followed by amino acids (typically alpha amino acids). [5] The substrate in this case is gelatin, and the products are the polypeptides formed. Gelatinase binds to the substrate, gelatin, due to specificity of ...

  7. Capsule (pharmacy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_(pharmacy)

    Gelatin capsules, informally called gel caps or gelcaps, are composed of gelatin manufactured from the collagen of animal skin or bone. [4] Vegetable capsules, introduced in 1989, [5] are made from cellulose, a structural component in plants. The main ingredient of vegetarian capsules is hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose. In the 21st century ...

  9. Hydrolyzed protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolyzed_protein

    Hydrolyzed protein is a solution derived from the hydrolysis of a protein into its component amino acids and peptides. While many means of achieving this exist, most common is prolonged heating with hydrochloric acid , [ 1 ] sometimes with an enzyme such as pancreatic protease to simulate the naturally occurring hydrolytic process.
