Possible Interaction: Cellulose and Gelatin

“A cellulose-based microgel is firstly synthesized via chemically coupling gelatin and cellulose , and then amphiphilic cellulose copolymers (HMGC) are prepared by alkylated cellulose-based microgel from different long-chain alkyl groups.”

“The crystal size and crystallinity of BC was reduced when grown in the presence of CMC and gelatin while pectin only decreased the crystallite size.”

“By adding a 10 wt % fraction of BC in gelatin , visible (λ = 550 nm) and UV (λ = 350 nm) transmittances were found to decrease by ∼35 and 40%, respectively.”

“The gelation temperature of a 4 wt % cellulose solution dropped from 59.4 to 30.5 degrees C as the M(eta) value was increased from 4.5 x 10(4) to 11.4 x 10(4).”
