Is dessert gelatin with pears a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the pears were not in the gelatin it would be homogeneous, but since the pears are not uniformly distributed throughout the gelatin, it is considered heterogeneous. We are talking about visibility with the naked eye in regards to the classification, not taking the sample under a microscope.

Which gelatin is in trident layers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Trident gum typically uses porcine-based gelatine which is derived from pig skin. This type of gelatine is the most common form used in commercial food products. It is a flavorless and odorless substance that can be used to bind thicken and stabilize food items. It is also used to give foods a glossy appearance. Other types of gelatine such as bovine-based gelatine may be used depending on the region but porcine-based gelatine is the most widely used.

How fast does light travel through gelatin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The speed of light through Jell-O.

Photons generated by a laser are exactly the same -- go at the same speed, etc. -- as photons of the same color from any other source.

There are two different paths a photon can take through Jell-O:

(1) Most colors of photons will go more or less straight through.

Since Jell-O is mostly water, those photons go at pretty close to the speed of light through water -- this is somewhat slower than the speed of light through a vacuum (often abbreviated as "the" speed of light, "c").

The refractive index of water is 1.33, meaning that light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water.

In vacuum, light travels roughly 1 foot (0.3 meters) per nanosecond.

In water, light travels roughly 3/4 foot (0.2 meters) in the same nanosecond.

(2) Some colors of photons may take *much* longer.

Some flavors of Jell-O are fluorescent.

When you shine light on fluorescent Jell-O, the dye molecules absorb a few photons of *some* colors, and then a relatively long time later release photons (often of a different color).

After you turn off the lights, photons continue to trickle out for a relatively long time (a few microseconds are a long time for this sort of thing).

If you pulse the light on-off, the first batch of "fast" photons gets through very quickly, and then sometime later the "slow" photons trickle out.

What happens when gelatin is heated?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Gelatinization is the swelling and disruption of molecules in a starch granule when heated in water. It happens at around 55 to 85°C. Gelatinization results in loss of crystallinity or birefringence, irreversible swelling of the starch granule, increase of viscocity of solution, leaching of amylose from the starch granule, and a creating more clear solution.
