I recently made a mineral broth and then added gelatin to the liquid to add protein to the broth. I then refrigerated the liquid for later use. The next day when I went to use the broth it was noticed that the liquid had formed three layers (see photo). The top layer (green arrow) was still a free liquid, the middle layer (red arrow) formed a thin whiteish layer, and the bottom layer (orange arrow) was a gelatinous layer.
When I poured out the liquid the top layer was the only layer to freely flow out of the container. The middle and bottom layer was perfectly intact. This is a great observation in how proteins, water, minerals, etc.. interact to form cells, tissues, etc..
