Spores of Trichoderma harzianum TCC 52445 for control of Rhlzocronia stem canker on potato were immobilized in various natural matrix, and germination rate and some rheological properties of the spore-matrix complex were Investigated. Germination rate of gelatin gel-spore complex and potato starch gel-spore complex were 2.8% and 2.9%, respectively, but hardness and cohesiveness of the gelstin gel-spoke complex were better than those of potato starch-spore complex. The hardness and cohesiveness were increased when the spores were immobilized in hybrid gelatin gel made by mixing several different types of natural matrix, but decreased their germination rate. Addition of corn steep liquor (1%) as spore nutrient in gelatin gel-spore complex was helpful for increasing the germination rate.

Ohmic heating occurs when an electric current is passes through food, resulting in a temperature rise in the product due to the conversion of the electric energy into heat. The time spent in the thawing is critical for product sterility and quality. The objective of this study is to conduct numerical modelling between the effect of ohmic thawing intensity on PTT(phase transition time) at constant concentration and the effect of matrix concentrations on PTT at constant voltage condition. the stronger ohmic thawing intensity resulted in decreasing the PTT. High ohmic intensity causes short PTT. And the higher gelatin concentration, the faster increment of PTT. A numerical modeling was executed to predict the PTT influenced by the power intensity using exponential regression and the PTT influenced by gelatin concentration using logarithmic regression. Therefore, from this numerical model of gelatin matrix, it is possible to estimate exact values extensively.

Nylon microcapsules of sodium salicylate containing three different matrixes, acacia, gelatin and formalized gelatin, were prepared by interfacial polymerization and the effect of the matrix on the dissolution rate of sodium salicylate from its nylon microcapsule was investigated. The microcapsules were spherical and their particle diameter increased in proportion to the amount of matrix. The surface was different from each other according to the kind and the amount of matrix when observed by the scanning electron microscopy. The dissolution rate of sodium salicylate from its microcapsules was decreased by increase of the amount of matrix and the formalized gelatin most decreased the dissolution rate of drugs.

This study was designed to investigate effects of AC frequency on the thawing process, using laboratory scale ohmic thawing system. The ohmic thawing property of 30% gelatin matrix was examined by using low frequency alternating current (20 Hz-110 Hz, sine wave). When the voltage was fixed to 50V, thawing time was negligible influenced as the frequency decreased. Total thawing time of the gelatin matrix decreased sharply at the frequency of 50 Hz. The current flow was first observed during the thawing process in the temperature ranges of $-\;5^{\circ}\;C{\sim}\;-\;3^{\circ}\;C$.

Rheological studies on the gelatin hydrogels were carried out by rheometer. In the temperature range of $32^{\circ}~90{\circ}C$, the viscosities of the gelatin hydrogels were measured. In order to observe the formation of gel structure, the stress-relaxation tests of the creep-curves were investigated. The structure of viscoelastic substance could be considered of a three dimensional crosslinked matrix. As the result viscoelastic coefficients were obtained by Maxwell element, which are correspond to the network structure. From the relationship between the stress-relaxation time and temperature, activation energy correspond to breaking the formation of gels was calculated to be 13.91kcal/mole.

Background: Coating a culture plate with molecules that aid in cell adhesion is a technique widely used to produce animal cell cultures. Extracellular matrix (ECM) is known for its efficiency in promoting adhesion, survival, and proliferation of adherent cells. Gelatin, a cost-effective type of ECM, is widely used in animal cell cultures including feeder-free embryonic stem (ES) cells. However, the optimal concentration of gelatin is a point of debate among researchers, with no studies having established the optimal gelatin concentration. Methods: In this study, we coated plastic plates with gelatin in a concentration-dependent manner and assessed Young's modulus using atomic force microscopy (AFM) to investigate the microstructure of the surface of each plastic plate. The adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of the ESCs were compared and analyzed revealing differences in surface microstructure dependent on coating concentration. Results: According to AFM analysis, there was a clear difference in the microstructure of the surface according to the presence or absence of the gelatin coating, and it was confirmed that there was no difference at a concentration of 0.5% or more. ES cell also confirmed the difference in cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation according to the presence or absence of gelatin coating, and also it showed no difference over the concentration of 0.5%. Conclusions: The optimum gelatin-coating for the maintenance and differentiation of ES cells is 0.5%, and the gelatin concentration-mediated microenvironment and ES cell signaling are closely correlated.

In the preparation of hydroxyapatite(HAp)/gelatin(GEL) nanocomposite, GEL matrix was modified by the introduction of chondroitin sulfate(ChS) to obtain a strongly organized composite body. The formation reaction of the HAp/GEL-ChS nanocomposite was then investigated via XRD, DT/TGA, FT-IR, TEM and SEM. The organic-inorganic interaction between HAp nanocrystallites and GEL molecules was confirmed from DT/TGA and FT-IR. According to the DT/TGA results, the exothermal temperature zone between 300 and $550^{\circ}C$ showed an additional peak temperature that indicated the decomposition of the combined organics of the GEL and ChS. From the FT-IR analysis, calcium phosphate(Ca-P) was covalently bound with the GEL macromolecules modified by ChS. From TEM and ED, the matrix of the GEL-ChS molecules was mineralized by HAp nanocrystallites and the dense dried nanocomposite body was confirmed from SEM micrographs.

The objective of this study was to investigate the changes in ice dendrite size during freezing process in gelatin matrix as a model food system in order to provide mathematical relation between freezing condition and ice dendrite size. Gelatin gel as a model matrix was frozen in unidirectional Neumann's type of heat transfer. The thermograms' analysis allowed to determine the freezing temperature of the sample, the position of the freezing front versus time, and thus, freezing front rate. The morphology of ice dendrites was observed by scanning electron microscopy after freeze-drying. We observed that the means size of ice dendrite increased with the distance to the cooling plate; however, it decreased with the cooling rate and the cooling temperature. In addition, the shorter durations of the freeze-drying process was shorter decreeing the decreased the freezing front rate, resulted in their resulting in a larger pore size of the ice dendrite pores for the sublimation channel of that operate as water vapor sublimation channels. From these results, we could derive a linear regression as an empirical mathematical model equation between the ice dendrite size and the inverse of freezing front rate.

Hepatocytes, the major epithelial cells of the liver, maintain their morphology in culture dishes coated with extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen and fibronectin or biodegradable polymers (e.g. chitosan, gelatin). In these coated dishes, survival of cells and maintaining of liver-specific functions may increase. The aim of this study was to determine a suitable, cost-effective and simple system for hepatocyte isolation and culture which may be useful for various applications such as in vitro toxicology studies, hepatocyte transplantation and bioartificial liver (BAL) systems. In order to obtain primary cultures, hepatocytes were isolated from liver by an enzymatic method and cultured on plates coated with collagen, chitosan or gelatin. Collagen, gelatin-sandwich and gelatin-cell mixture methods were also evaluated. Morphology and attachment of the cells were observed by inverted microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). An MTT assay was used to determine cell viability and mitochondrial activity.
