Physicochemical and rheological properties of white-cheek shark (Carcharhinus dussumieri) skin gelatin were determined as a function of either an alkaline-acid or an acid pretreatment. With alkaline-acid pretreatment, the purity of white-cheek shark skin gelatin was increased, with a significantly lower extraction yield, a higher retention of high molecular weight components, and greater preservation of the triple helical structure. Moreover, gelatin from alkaline-acid treated skins showed denser spherical structure, significantly (p < 0.05) different textural properties, better thermostability (Tg = 21°C, Tm = 27.5°C), higher values of both G′ and G″, higher gel strength (330 g), more imino acids (20.3%), and lighter colored gels compared with acid treated white-cheek shark skin gelatin.
