Hello PE,

I know there have been previous discussions about the differences between active and inert gelatin. Have there been any discussions about the Bloom rating of gelatin, and its effect on emulsion making?

How does the "Bloom" rating of gelatin change an emulsion formula? Are there other changes that should be taken into consideration (changes in viscosity), or -- properties that can be taken advantage of -- by using gelatins with different Bloom numbers?

Thank you,

Bob M.
