2.4.2. Analyses of gelatin gels
2.4.2.1. Determination of gel strength.Gel strength of gelatin gels at 101C was determined using a Model TA-XT2 Texture
Analyzer (Stable Micro System, Surrey, UK) with a load cell of 5 kg and equipped with a 1.27 cm diameterflat-faced cylindrical Teflon s plunger. The maximum force (in grams) when the penetration distance was 4 mm was obtained. The speed of the plunger was 0.5 mm/s.
