Gelatin is a protein substance that comes from the skins and bones of animals.
Most people know it as the substance used to make a jellylike salad or dessert.
Not only is it useful in making these foods, but it is also beneficial to the consumer because of its high protein content.
Gelatin is also commonly used in the photographic industry and in making medicinal capsules.
The process for producing gelatin is a long and complex one.
In the processing of gelatin made from bones, which varies slightly from that of gelatin make from skin, the grease first must be eliminated.
Then, the bones are soaked in a solution of hydrochloric acid in order to rid them of minerals and are washed several ties in water.
Next, the bones are placed in distilled water, heated to over 90oF for a few hours, placed in fresh distilled water, and then heated again at a little over 100oF.
A fluid forms from this heating, and it is concentrated, chilled, and sliced.
Finally, it is dried and ground. In its final form, gelatin is white, tasteless, and odorless.

In autumn, the colour of the leaves changes into beautiful yellow, red, and brown.
Do you know how this happens? 
To answer that question, first we have to understand about leaves. Leaves are the food factories of plants.
Plants take water from the ground through their roots and they take carbon dioxide from the air.
Plants need glucose for energy and for their growth.
The plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose.
The process is called photosynthesis and the substance that helps this photosynthesis process is called chlorophyll.
This chlorophyll makes plants look green.
As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter.
The trees "know" that they have to be ready for winter.
During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water for the photosynthesis process.
The trees will rest, and use the food that they have stored during summer.
The trees begin to close their food factories. 
The green chlorophyll substance disappears from the leaves.
As the leaves begin to lose their green colour, they change into beautiful yellow and orange.
In some trees, like maple tree, glucose is trapped in the leaves after the photosynthesis process stops.
Sunlight and cool rights turn the green colour of the leaves into red.
Oak leaves become brown because of wastes that are left in the leaves.
This combination of red and brown makes the trees look very beautiful in autumn.
