Abstract

Response surface method was used to determine the optimum operating conditions for extracting the gelatin from channel catfish skin. The optimal conditions for maximum gel strength are 68.8 h for the time of treatment with calcium hydroxide solution, 43.2 °C for the extraction temperature, 5.73 h for the extraction time with hot water. The gelatin from channel catfish skin showed a high gel strength, 276±5 g. Compare to porcine skin gelatin, the gelatin from channel catfish skin has different amino acids composition and a lower thermo-stability.
