- Abstract
Gelatin was extracted from the skin of tilapia (Oreochromis urolepis hornorum) and its microbiological, rheological and structural properties were characterized. The tilapia skin gelatin presented typical molecular weight distribution of type I collagen with contents of imino acids (proline + hydroxyproline) of 21.67%. Gel strength and viscosity values were 221 ± 5.68 g and 5.98 ± 0.34 cP, respectively, with the maturation time of 18 ± 1 h, and both parameters increased with the maturation time. Melting and gelling points of 25 ℃ and 21 ℃, respectively, were obtained for tilapia skin gelatin. The gelatin presented microbiological standards in accordance with the Brazilian Legislation.
