XI, A. 6 Wells: Substitute for Gelatin in Food 271 



SUMMARY 



Gulaman dagat, a seaweed of the genus Gracilaria and found 

 throughout the Philippine Islands, was investigated. 



The conclusion was reached that it might serve as a substitute 

 for gelatin where only the physical properties of gelatin are im- 

 portant, but that it is unsuitable for use in bacteriological work, 

 owing to its low crushing pressure.
