What does gelatin contains?

Why does gelatin absorb liquid?

Gelatin is a hydrocolloid which is formed of collagen. It is entirely protein and a natural product extracted from the bones or skin of animals (usually pig or cow but it is also possible to extract from chicken and fish).

When you use leaf gelatin, it is necessary to soak it in cold water first. This allows the collagen mesh to absorb water. When you place the leaf gelatin in hot water, the triple helix of the collagen unwinds and the structure dissolves.

Depending on how much water is present, one of two things may happen when the solution cools down:

1) with a lot of water, strands of gelatin start to mesh but there is so much water that the solution becomes thick, like gravy.

2) with less water, the gelatin strands mesh together around the water molecules which traps them. This is how you end up with jelly (jell-o), panna cotta, or terrine.

Why doesn't boiled pepsin break down gelatin?

Gelatin is almost entirely protein. As pepsin is a protease, its job is to facilitate the break down of protein into amino acids. When the enzyme is boiled, it becomes denatured, which prevents it binding to the substrate. As a result of this, the digestion of gelatin cannot take place, so the digestion of gelatin ceases.
