Effects of alkaline and acid pretreatments on Alaska pollock skin gelatin extraction
2005
Zhou, P. | Regenstein, J.M.
Pretreatments with different alkalis and acids at different concentrations were used to determine their effects on gelatin extraction from Alaska pollock skin. The alkaline pretreatments with the OH concentrations lower than 0.5 mol/L removed noncollagenous proteins without significant loss of skin collagen. The acid pretreatments caused loss of collagen, even using a weak acid with a low H concentration at a low temperature. The presence of proteases might cause degradation of gelatin extract, but the pretreatments with NaOH or Ca(OH)2 at 0.1 mol/L OH concentration, or acetic acid at 0.05 mol/L H concentration could significantly decrease the degradation by proteases. The combination of an alkaline pretreatment followed by an acid pretreatment not only removed the noncollagenous proteins, but also provided the proper pH condition for extraction, during which some cross-linkages could be further destroyed but with less breakage of polypeptide chains.
