The study was designed to evaluate the effect of pepsin on the extraction of gelatin from goat skin. The goat skin was treated with pepsin at levels of 5 and 10 U/g of tissue and its effect on gelatin yield, pH and bloom strength were studied. The yield of gelatin was 10.12 % for the control group and 12.6 % and 16.5 % for the pepsin pretreated groups at 5 and 10 U respectively. There was no significant difference in the pH of gelatin among the control and pepsin treated groups. However, there was a significant decrease (P<0.01) in bloom strength in the enzyme pretreated group when compared to the control group. Thus, goat skin can be considered a potential source of commercial gelatin. Pepsin pretreatment can be used to increase the yield of gelatin for industrial and tissue engineering applications.
