Summary The time of setting of gelatin sols has been measured under a variety of experimental conditions, and used to obtain information about the early stages of gelatin gel formation. The data suggest that the setting process is basically a cross-linking process between gelatin molecules. In this respect it differs from the process leading to the development of rigidity in gelatin gels, which occurs over a longer period and is related to the assumption of the helical conformation of the molecule. The molecular weight (¯ M w) and intrinsic viscosity of a considerable number of gelatins and molecular weight fractions have been measured. Calculations from these data indicate that the gelatin molecule is highly branched.
