Abstract:
1. A method of producing gelatin fibers containing glycosaminoglycans comprising the steps of: (a) ejecting an aqueous alcoholic solution of gelatin and glycosaminoglycans through a nozzle to form gelatin fibers containing glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), wherein the aqueous alcoholic solution includes less than 25% low molecular weight alcohol; while (b) emitting pressurized air from air jet bores into the gelatin fibers containing the GAGs exiting the nozzle to attenuate or stretch the gelatin fiber containing the GAGs; while (c) collecting the gelatin fibers containing the GAGs on a collecting device.
