Jelly is a colloidal suspension of water, sugar, and pectin, which forms a gel-like structure when cooled. This gel structure is reversible, meaning that jelly can return to a liquid state when heated. However, if jelly is overheated or boiled for too long, the pectin molecules can break down irreversibly, causing the jelly to lose its ability to gel properly. So, while the process of gelling and melting jelly is reversible, irreversible changes can occur if the jelly is heated too much.
