Possible Interaction: Gelatin and Glycerol

“… gelation is greatly reduced or … incubation medium includes glycerol —a common gelatin solvent—at 5% (vol/vol), 2) the minced tissue-to-total incubation volume ratio is ≥1:10, … exposure to pancreatic digestion products is minimized by frequent separation of islets, and 4) collagenase concentration is optimized by titration.”

“The rate of gelation was sufficiently accelerated by the addition of glycerol to the SF aqueous solution.”

“The glycerol content also affected the rate of gelation of the SF solution.”

“Addition of glycerol and gelatin resulted in enhanced molecular interactions between chitosan-gelatin and improved sealability of the films.”

“In order to obtain stable and tunable output lasing, the stretching property of the gelatine host was improved by mixing with a certain ratio of glycerol to prevent DFB cavity destruction.”

“The gelation concentration was found to increase from 0.18 (for water) to 0.22% (w/v) (50% v/v glycerol solution) as the glycerol concentration was raised.”

“Two distinctive features are evident here: (i) presence of glycerol as a cosolvent does not favor the gelation of agar as compared to water and (ii) agar organogels are softer than their hydrogels.”

“The addition of glycerol to the gelatin caused a lower impedance response and smaller loss in weight.”

“ Glycerin slightly decreased the gelation temperature and slightly increased the gel strength and bioadhesive force.”

“ Glycerol is able to compensate the radioinduced changes of the structure of gelatin up to a dose of 50 kGy.”

“When glycerol is added to a growing cell suspension in gelatin-containing medium , growth increases, but protease specific activity decreases.”

“At 25° the presence of glycerin in gelatin gels increased the modulus of rigidity in all the samples used.”
