Question

b. gelatin is a solid that can strengthen protein networks. how would yogurt that contains gelatin be different from yogurt that does not contain gelatin? explain your answer. (2 points)

Explanation:

Gelatin strengthens protein networks. In yogurt, this would affect texture. A stronger protein network (due to gelatin) would make the yogurt firmer. Without gelatin, the protein network is weaker, so the yogurt is softer.

Answer:

Yogurt with gelatin would be firmer. Gelatin strengthens protein networks. A stronger network resists deformation more, making the yogurt less likely to flow or be easily mashed compared to yogurt without gelatin (which has a weaker protein network and is softer).
