Abstract: The ratio of chelates of Cu2+ with gelatin in pH value range between 8.0 to 13.0 is determined by spectrophotometry. Result shows that the ratio increases with increasing pH value. Because the protons are removed from the gelatin molecule in this pH value range. The gelatin molecule provides many amino groups and carboxyl ions. Therefore the Cu2+ is a effective fluorsescence quenching agent due to a strong chelation between Cu2+ and gelatin molecule.

Key words: gelatin, cupric ion, ratio of chelates, fluorescence spectrum
