Gelation and melting of aqueous gelatin were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. This phenomenon can be analyzed as a conventional crystallization process assuming predetermined primary nucleation and unidirectional growth. The results were interpreted in terms of the fringed micelle model. Calculated values of the diameter of the renatured collagen fibril were found in excellent agreement with those determined previously by electron microscopy.
