PARTICULES DE GÉLATINE, PROCÉDÉ DE PRODUCTION DE PARTICULES DE GÉLATINE, CELLULES ENCAPSULANT DES PARTICULES DE GÉLATINE, ET PROCÉDÉ DE PRODUCTION DE CELLULES ENCAPSULANT DES PARTICULES DE GÉLATINE
Disclosed herein are gelatin particles that have been crosslinked without using a crosslinking agent and are easily taken up by cells themselves, and a method for producing such gelatin particles. The gelatin particles are made of self-crosslinked gelatin and have a particle diameter of 0.010 µm or more but 5.0 µm or less. The gelatin particles can be produced by discharging droplets of a liquid containing melted gelatin into air in a heating tube or a drying chamber and drying the droplets to form the gelatin into particles under conditions where a difference between the temperature in the heating tube or the drying chamber and the temperature of the liquid is 235°C or less and further by crosslinking the gelatin forming the particles.
