Medical gelatin, like edible gelatin, photographic gelatin, and industrial gelatin, is a type of gelatin product that is classified based on different uses and quality requirements of gelatin. The appearance is light yellow or yellow particles, dry, clean, uniform, without impurities, and the solution has no unpleasant odor. The most commonly used in medicine is as capsules to encapsulate drugs
As a medicinal gelatin, its quality is directly related to the health of the people and must be strictly controlled. The quality of gelatin is mainly evaluated from three aspects: its physical properties, chemical properties, and microbial limits.
The current pharmaceutical gelatin related standard in China is the light industry standard "QB2354-2005 Pharmaceutical Gelatin".
Medical gelatin can be divided into type A, type B (type A is acid based gelatin, type B is alkaline based gelatin), as well as bone and skin types; Divide each category into two levels of products, 200 and 100, based on the freezing strength.
The USP and national standards provide standard test methods for the determination of gel strength of gel.
When the gel tester is used with a 12.7 mm diameter cylindrical probe and 4 mm below the surface of the gel containing 6.67% gelatin solution is pressed, the applied force represents the gel strength, in Bloom g.
ST-16A texture tester gel strength tester just follows the test method of QB2354-2005 Medicinal Gelatin. It is easy to operate, without complicated training, one key operation, and the atlas and results are automatically displayed in real time.
