gelatin
1. The product obtained by partial hydrolysis of collagen, occurring in sheets, flakes, shreds, or as a coarse or fine powder, insoluble in cold water but soluble in hot water. It is used in many pharmaceutical preparations, in formulations for histochemical examinations, as an ingredient of bacteriologic culture media; such as, a food, as a plasma extender, and as an absorbable film or sponge in operative procedures.
2. A soluble protein obtained by boiling collagen with water, during which process the collagen is partly degraded; animal jelly.
