I am analyzing the gelatine content of a product derived from pig bone. I already have the hydroxyproline content but unable to get the actually gelatine content due to lack of the multiplicative coefficient. If you are experience in this filed , kindly help.

According to Li et al. (2011; Amino Acids 40, 1159-1168) the gelatin contains 12.8 % hydroxyproline (as-fed basis). You can also read Eastoe (1955; Biochemical Journal 61, 589–600. A free copy of the printed paper can be obtained at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1215839/pdf/biochemj00862-0065.pdf)
