Components

Gelatin is a heterogeneous mixture of water-soluble proteins of high average molecular masses, present in collagen. Proteins are extracted by boiling the relevant skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, etc. in water. Type A gelatin is derived from acid-cured tissue. Type B is derived from lime-cured tissue.

Caution

Dry gelatin, when stored in airtight containers at room temperature, will remain unchanged for many years. When heated at 100°C in the presence of air, it swells becomes soft and disintegrates to a carbonaceous mass with evolution of pyridine bases and ammonia.

Skin gelatin of skate (Okamejei kenojei) was hydrolyzed using Alcalase, flavourzyme, Neutrase and protamex. It was found that the Alcalase hydrolysate exhibited the highest angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. Then, Alcalase hydrolysate was further hydrolyzed with protease and separated

Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a poor prognostic factor for patients with gastrointestinal, gynecologic, and pancreatic cancer. Cisplatin (CDDP) is among the most effective anti-cancer agents, although its adverse effects remain unresolved. For the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis with high-dose CDDP, it

Intra-airway and intra-arterial administration of gelatin-embedded, sustained-release basic fibroblast growth factor has stimulated regeneration of emphysematous lungs in animal experiments, but these routes of administration may also cause harm. This study investigated the effectiveness of intrapleural administration of gelatin-embedded, sustained-release
