Question

Q10. What happens to collagen when boiled in water at normal pressure and temperature?
(a) Changes into gelatin
into
(b)Changes
fibrine
(d) No changes
(c) Changes into elastin​

Answer 1

Answer:

no change

Explanation:

Boiling at normal temperatures and pressure does not damage collagen unless we are providing a reasonable temperature. At higher temperatures, there is the conversion of collagen to gelatin. Collagen proteins undergo changes at 572°F (300°C). Above 572°F, collagen proteins undergo a degradation that cannot be reversed.
