Question

............. is a partially hydrolyzed collagen with water holding capacity.

• A. Cellulose
• B. Gelatin
• C. Starch
• D. Pectin

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Gelatin

Cellulose is an important structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants, many algae and oomycetes and is derived from D- glucose units.

Gelatin is a translucent, colourless, flavourless food derived from collagen obtained from various raw material of animals and having water holding capacity.

Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate produced by most green plants as their energy storage.

Pectin is a structural heteropolysaccharide contained in the primary cell walls of terrestrial plants mainly extracted from citrus fruits, and is used in food as a gelling agent.

So, the correct answer is option B.
