[sci.bio] Ray Tracing Jell-O Brand Gelatin

roy@phri.UUCP (Roy Smith) (03/15/88)

	Yesterday I tried making Jello with oranges and kiwis in it.  It
didn't gell.  I know oranges are OK because I'm put oranges in Jello
before.  I also know you can't put pineapple in Jello because pineapple has
collagenase which keeps the Jello from gelling.  Does anybody know if kiwi
fruit also has collagenase?

	For you sci.bio people wonderingabout the Subject:, take a peek at
comp.graphics for the past couple of weeks.

Some sort of protease, yes - I don't know if it's collagenase.
