GELATINE
- Description: Powdered gelatine becomes hard and horny when wetted but can be utilized for the manufacture of glue. Sheet and powdered gelatine, when packed in drums, should be stored at a moderate temperature, i.e., not near a boiler room or engine room and not exposed to the direct heat of the sun. When packed in bags, it may lose weight under dry conditions. It is important to avoid exposure to moist air or contact with water. This will cause mold attack and lumpiness which would completely spoil edible and photographic gelatine for those purposes and leave a material of greatly reduced value as a source of glue. If prepared as a food product, is readily contaminated when exposed.
