Abstract: Gelatins were prepared from the bone pretreated using hydrochloride with various concentrations by protease-conditioned method in this article. The yields of protease-conditioned gelatin were decreased as the concentration of HCl was increased from 0 to 4.5% (mass fraction). The bloom values of protease-condition gelatin were all higher than 300 when the bovine bone were pretreated with HCl. Compared with commercial type B gelatin, protease-conditioned gelatin exhibited higher bloom strength, lower viscosity and higher IEP value. Compared with protein patterns of type B gelatin, different protein patterns of protease-conditioned gelatin were noticeable with the immersing of the new bands at the Mw of 165 KDa and 120 KDa. The IEPs of protease-conditioned gelatin were all in alkaline range which was related to the content of arginine. The results showed that the pretreatment process of bone was very important for protease-conditioned gelatin because the yield, viscosity and IEP were determined by the pretreatment condition.
