Influence of different drying method on yield, physicochemical and functional properties of gelatin from rohu (Labeo rohita) swim bladder were investigated. Freeze-drying presented the highest gelatin yield (54.51 g/100 g, dry weight basis), followed by vacuum-drying (48.95 g/100 g) and spray-drying (41.76 g/100 g), respectively (P < 0.05). All gelatin samples showed glycine as the major amino acid followed by proline, glutamic acid, alanine, arginine and hydroxyproline, respectively. Freeze-dried gelatin (FDG) and spray-dried gelatin (SDG) showed α (α₁ and α₂), β-chains and γ-chain as the predominant components, whereas an absence of β- and γ-chains found in vacuum-dried gelatin (VDG). FTIR spectra revealed that the loss of the triple-helix was found in all gelatins which indicated the conversion of collagen to soluble gelatin. FDG and SDG had the highest surface hydrophobicity, protein solubility …
