The Carboxyl Group: Acids. Carboxyl groups are weak acids, dissociating partially to release hydrogen ions. The carboxyl group (symbolized as COOH) has both a carbonyl and a hydroxyl group attached to the same carbon atom, resulting in new properties. Carboxyl groups frequently ionize, releasing the H from the hydroxyl group as a free proton (H +), with the remaining O carrying a negative charge. This charge flip-flops back and forth between the two oxygen atoms, which makes this ionized state relatively stable.
Gelato is a natural product-the raw ingredients include milk (or water), sugar (and in some cases fruit). There are no artificial sweeteners or flavors and gelato is lower in milk fat and has fewer calories than ice cream.gelato also contains a good amount of protein as well, because of the nutritious value and variety of flavors, gelato can also serve as a meal replacement.he raw ingredients, milk (or water) and sugar are combined with a blend of emulsifiers (such as mono-and di-glycerides), stabilizers (such as guar gum or locust bean gum) and other natural ingredients used in order to make the highest quality gelato.
The raw material for gelatin manufacture is the naturally occurring protein collagen, which is commercially sourced from the meat industry. Gelatin contains 84-90% protein, 1-2% mineral salts and 8-15% water.
