Bloom is a test used to measure the strength of a gel, most commonly gelatin.The test was originally developed and patented in 1925 by Oscar T. Bloom. [1] The test determines the weight in grams needed by a specified plunger (normally with a diameter of 0.5 inch) to depress the surface of the gel by 4 mm without breaking it at a specified temperature.

Enzyme activity as given in katal generally refers to that of the assumed natural target substrate of the enzyme. Enzyme activity can also be given as that of certain standardized substrates, such as gelatin, then measured in gelatin digesting units (GDU), or milk proteins, then measured in milk clotting units (MCU). The units GDU and MCU are ...
Albumin tannate (also known as Tannin albuminate) is an antidiarrheal, commonly in the form of gelatin. [2] [3] References This page was last edited on 17 ...
Tannins produce different colors with ferric chloride (either blue, blue black, or green to greenish-black) according to the type of tannin. Iron gall ink is produced by treating a solution of tannins with iron(II) sulfate. [72] Tannins can also be used as a mordant, and is especially useful in natural dyeing of cellulose fibers such as cotton ...
Vanillin–HCl staining (10% vanillin and 90% of a mixture of ethanol and HCl, giving an orange color) can be used to visualize the localisation of tannins in cells. The localization of phlorotannins can be investigated by light microscopy after vanillin–HCl staining. [1] The phlorotannins can be seen this way in physodes in brown algae.
By mixing tannin with iron sulfate, a water-soluble ferrous tannate complex is formed. Because of its solubility, the ink is able to penetrate the paper surface, making it difficult to erase. When exposed to air, it converts to a ferric tannate, which is a darker pigment. This product is not water-soluble, contributing to its permanence as a ...
It is done in one step where the Bradford reagent is added to a test tube along with the sample. After mixing well, the mixture almost immediately changes to a blue color. When the dye binds to the proteins through a process that takes about 2 minutes, a change in the absorption maximum of the dye from 465 nm to 595 nm in acidic solutions ...
The eastern blot is mentioned in an immunology textbook which compares the common blotting methods (Southern, northern and western), and states that "the eastern blot, however, exists only in test questions." [26] The principles used for eastern blotting to detect glycans can be traced back to the use of lectins to detect protein glycosylation.
