Abstract: | Sol and Gel state properties of aqueous gelatin solutions of concentrations 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% (w/v) have been investigated
through dielectric relaxation studies done at various temperatures in the range T=20–60 °C carried out over a frequency range f=20 Hz–10 MHz and no relaxation of any nature was observed. The sharp transition observed at the gelation temperature T
gel provided an excellent matching with the same measured through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The capacitance (C
p) values above f=100 kHz became increasingly negative as the gel was melted to the sol state. However, in the gel state C
p was found to be almost independent of temperature for frequencies above 100 kHz. At frequencies lower than 10 kHz, C
p measured was ∼105 F, implying pronounced interfacial polarization either due to electro-chemical reaction or because of ions getting trapped
at some interface within the bulk.
