Abstract
Gelatin for pharmaceutical use should not contain more than 1000 microorganisms per gram and must not contain pathogenic microorganisms like Salmonella species and E.Coli. For some biological studies spore free gelatin is essential. Locally available gelatin and gelatin capsules have been found to contain a good number of microorganisms. Gelatin and its capsules containing different colours were exposed to graded doses of radiation and stored at different temperatures. They were then examined for microbial content, disintegration characteristics, pH, viscosity and colour change. The study shows that radiation treatment is useful to upgrade microbiologically both gelatin and its capsules. This technique provides apparently a useful and economic method for producing spore free gelatin which in commerce is relatively expensive.
