Product Overview
Gelatin is extracted from collagen and is a high molecular weight protein composed of 18 amino acids. Bovine hide, bones and fish scales are normally used for the production of the gelatin. Gelatin can absorb 5-10 times of water and if heated, it enters a sol state. Upon cooling, it enters a gel state. Because of its special properties, gelatin is used in making pharmaceutical capsules, jelly, industrial adhesives. Also gelatin is widely used in other applications. CAS NO. 9000-70-8.
Features: 1. Its thermo-reversibility is unique and essential in a vast range of confectionery applications, but its popularity is also attributable to its gelling, foaming, stabilizing, texturizing, binding and emulsifying functionalities; 2. Gelatin is water-soluble, totally digestible and compatible with most other hydrocolloids, including vegetable colloids such as agar, alginates, carrageenans and pectins, as well as sugars, corn syrups, edible acids and flavours, all popular within the confectionery sector.
