Properties of Gelatin

Gelatin enables the development of tailored textures across a wide range of food applications, as well as in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and specialized industries.

What Is Gelatin?

Gelatin is a natural, high-purity protein derived from collagen, which is abundantly found in animal connective tissue. It is produced using raw materials approved for human consumption and meets the highest food safety standards. Extracted from pigskins, bovine hides, and demineralized bones, gelatin can also be obtained from other species — particularly chicken and fish — to meet specific dietary, cultural, or religious requirements.
