General description

Gelatin acts as a key element in a variety of foodstuffs and pharmaceutical products, including jellies, aspics, desserts, capsule, tablets and blood substitutes. Usually, most gelatin products have been manufactured from porcine skin.

Components

Gelatin is a heterogeneous mixture of water-soluble proteins of high average molecular masses, present in collagen. Proteins are extracted by boiling the relevant skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, etc. in water. Type A gelatin is derived from acid-cured tissue. Type B is derived from lime-cured tissue.
