Add 0.6g of the sample to 120g of deionized water, boiling and stiring to make
sure all is dissolved.using a motorized stirrer having a propeller-type stirring
blade. Draw a small amount of this solution into a wide bore pipet and transfer
into a 2.7% solution of calcium chloride. The gel will be formed immediately.
The gel will be formed immediately.
Add 1.0 g of the sample to 120g of deionized water, boiling and sriring to make
sure all is dissolved. using a motorized stirrer having a propeller-type stirring
blade. Add 0.5% of sodium chloride, heat to 85° with stiring and hold at 85° for 20
