Gelled gelatin food product prepared from non-gelled aqueous gelatin compositions

摘要

A method of preparing a gelled food product from an ungelled aqueous concentrate containing 10-30 weight percent gelatin and a urea is disclosed. The concentrate has a gelatin-to-urea weight ratio of 1:0.3 to 1:1.5, a pH value of 2.5-7 and gels at less than 20C. On dilution with water to a gelatin concentration of about 2 weight percent while maintaining substantially the pH value of the concentrate, the diluted composition gels at a temperature above that of the concentrate. Specific concentrates, gelled food products, food product precursor products, and methods for using the concentrates are disclosed.
