Processing of collagen for gelatin extraction. Collagen, characterized by a triple-helix structure and insolubility, is processed either by acid (gelatin A) or alkaline (gelatin B) pre-treatment. After extraction, purification, and recovery, gelatin, a soluble product, is obtained. When dissolved in water, gelatin undergoes a reversible sol-gel transition by heat–cool process.
