The conformation of gelatin during the gel melting process is monitored by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy, and the viability of this methodology for studying gelation is established. Changes are followed in the amide I component peaks, and these ave related to conformational changes. The temperature dependence of the component assigned to triple helical segments is in good agreement with a theoretical model of gel melting. Order is still observed to be present above the gel melting temperature and the conformational change occurs gradually through this temperature, with a significant proportion of beta-turns persisting in the sol state.
