Gelatin is a heterogeneous mixture of water-soluble proteins of high average molecular weights, present in collagen. The proteins are extracted by boiling skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, etc. in water. Type A gelatin is derived from acid-cured tissue and Type B gelatin is derived from lime-cured tissue.
Applications using gelatin include coating cell culture plates to improve cell attachment for a variety of cell types, addition to PCR to help stabilize Taq DNA polymerase,and use as a blocking reagent in Western blotting, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry. In bacteriology, gelatin can be used as a component of culture media for species differentiation.Additionally, as a biocompatible polymer, gelatin has been used as a delivery vehicle for the release of bioactive molecules6and in the generation of scaffolds for tissue engineering applications.
Industrial applications include the use of gelatin as a stabilizer, thickener, and texturizer in foods and in the manufacture of rubber substitutes, adhesives, cements, lithographic and printing inks, plastic compounds, artificial silk, photographic plates and films, matches, and light filters for mercury lamps. In the pharmaceutical industry, gelatin is used as a suspending agent, encapsulating agent, and tablet binder; and in veterinary applications it is used as a plasma expander and hemostatic sponge.
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.
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.
Gelatin is water-soluble, totally digestible and compatible with most other hydrocolloids, including vegetable colloids such as agar-agar, alginates, carrageenans and pectins, as well as sugars, corn syrups, edible acids and flavours – all popular within the confectionery sector.

Creating dairy foods and beverages that offer consumers a desirable taste, texture and appearance is the fundamental aim of dairy manufacturers around the world.
To achieve this, you have to make sure you select the most effective ingredients. Gelatin offers key advantages in a variety of dairy applications. It helps preventing syneresis and it improves foaming and stabilizing the aerated structure. A minor addition of gelatin will provide a soft, and creamy texture.
Mousses
In mousse products, gelatin can add value with its foaming, stabilizing and water binding properties.
Creamy yogurts with an improved shelf life
Gelatin is the ideal ingredient for providing your yogurt products with a bright appearance and a smooth, firm, consistent texture. Gelatin is widely used in yogurts because of its excellent texturizing, binding, stabilizing and foaming properties.
Quark
Your quark products will benefit from gelatin’s water binding and texturizing properties, in particular. It prevents syneresis and improves stability.
Dessert creams
Gelatin in dessert creams has a strong texturizing and water binding effect, creates a oerfect mouthfeel and stability over time.
Ice creams and water ices
You can add value to your ice creams and water ices by using gelatin’s stabilizing and foaming properties to create the perfect structure and mouth feel. It prevents the formation of ice crystals during prolonged storage. Used in association with other stabilizing agents, gelatin gives the finished product a remarkably slow melting rate and a characteristic texture.
Gelatin is an ingredient used in many kinds of desserts – not only by food manufacturers but also in kitchens around the world. Its easy usability and wide range of functionalities open the door to fun, creative and perfect desserts. It is fast setting, while also adding to the brightness and transparency of desserts.
Cakes
You can create delicious desserts with gelatin-based cake filling and coating solutions. Gelatin is an ideal ingredient for cake fillings and coatings, because of excellent its foaming, coating and stabilizing properties.
As more and more wineries and beverage manufacturers are finding out, Gelatin is an excellent fining agent for wines and apple juices. Fining consists of incorporating a substance into the cloudy wine that is capable of flocculation and sedimentation of the suspended particles by entrainment in such a way that the wine becomes clear. This substance is generally an albuminoid substance, a protein altered and precipitated by the tannin in the wine, or by the acidity of the wine.
Red wine, beer, apple juice
Our gelatin and hydrolyzed gelatin products are particularly suited for red wine, beer and apple juice clarification. They reduce turbidity and decrease the astringency of final beverages without having negative impact on suitable flavor components.
