Gelatin

Gelatin, derived from collagen-rich animal tissues, is a versatile ingredient used in various industries. The gelatin production process involves meticulous extraction, purification, and drying of collagen to obtain a pure and high-quality product. Raw materials undergo acid or alkaline treatment, followed by hydrolysis, which breaks down collagen into gelatin. The resulting solution is then filtered, clarified, and concentrated before being dried into a powder or sheets. Gelatin's unique properties, such as gelling, binding, and stabilizing, make it invaluable in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. It acts as a thickening agent in desserts, provides structure to capsules and coatings, and enhances the texture of personal care products.
