4. Conclusion
Seabass skin could be a promising source of gelatin. Gelatin
extracted at a higher temperature and for a longer time had the
highest extraction yield, but had poorer gel properties. Gelatin
obtained from seabass skin with different extraction conditions
contained b- and a-chains as the major components. All gelatins
from different extraction temperatures and times showed a higher
gel strength than that of commercial bovine gelatin. They were
able to set at 25 _C within 30 min with high gelling (19.5–
20.0 _C) and melting (26.3–27.0 _C) temperatures. To obtain gelatin
with a high quality and extraction yield, the recommended
extraction conditions were 50 _C for 3 h. Therefore, gelatin from
seabass skin could be used as a replacer for bovine or porcine
gelatin.
