Q. Gelatin is often used as an ingredient in the manufacture of ice cream for

Surface Chemistry

Solution:

Gelatin is a translucent, colourless, brittle (when dry), flavourless foodstuff derived from collagen obtained from various animal by-products. It is commonly used as a gelling agent in food, pharmaceuticals. Substances containing gelatin or functioning in a similar way are called gelatinous. Gelatin is an irreversibly hydrolyzed form of collagen. It is often used as an ingredient in the manufacture of ice-cream to stabilize the colloid and prevent crystal growth and works as protective colloid.
