Characterization of edible films based on tilapia (Tilapia zillii) scale gelatin with different extraction pH

TL;DR: Gelatin was extracted from tilapia scales at pH ranges from 3 to 9, and the properties of resulting gelatin films were investigated as mentioned in this paper, and it was concluded that α-helix structures rather than molecular weight distribution and Tg were involved in the formation of gelatin films.
