Goekhan Boran (EDT) Gelatin

Annotation

Gelatin has been the focus of many scientific studies recently published, as it is widely used not only in foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals but also in paints, fertilizers, and photographs. In this book, a discussion of the chemistry and cross-linking of gelatin is explored, in addition to the methods used for determination of gelatin quality. This book also discusses the applications of gelatin in neurosurgery, laboratory methods, and forensic applications; gelatin as a carrier matrix for drug delivery applications; recently developed techniques for improving the mechanical strength of gelatin-based films; alternative raw material used in gelatin production; and current discussions on the religious status of gelatin and religious requirements for kosher and halal gelatin production.
