Gelatin is a natural biopolymer. As a food additive it has Е441 mark. It is based on collagen. Gelatin consists, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, trace nutrients and macro-nutrients, vitamin РР and 18 amino acids.

This is an animal protein of high quality enriched in amino acids, vitamins and trace nutrients of vital importance.

Gelatin is a solid odorless bulk product with color from light yellow to dark yellow.

Nutritional Qualities of Gelatin:

• Combination of undiluted protein with specific amino acids;
• Synergistic effect in combination with other proteins;
• High accessibility;
• Allergen-free;
• Cholesterol-free.

Processing Properties of Gelatin:

• Gelling action;
• Foam forming and stabilization;
• Skin formation/filming;
• Structural improvement;
• Hydration;
• Emulsification and stabilization;

Sensing Properties of Gelatin:

• Neutral odor;
• Neutral flavor;
• Capability to improve flavor.

Physicochemical Properties of Gelatin:

• Highly soluble and highly water-retentive;
• Bloom or Valenta strength test of food gelatin;
• Exposed to hydrolysis depending on a number of factors, namely on acids physical presence, alkalies, bacteria, enzymes and temperature;
• In density higher than 0,8 % gelatin on cooling precipitates from a solution. Precipitation temperature as a rule to be defined according to the viscosity of 10% solution and it is equal to the temperature of gelling action;
• Gelatin shows amphoteric properties. In acids gelatin carries positive charge, when in alkali it carries negative charge;
• Compatible with most hydrocolloids, sugar, corn syrup, starch, fruit sugar, most food-grade acids and flavoring materials.

Gelatin Types

Advanced technologies allow us to produce gelatin of different types.
There are two types of gelatin, namely А and В; manufacturing of every type we effect on separate processing lines.  Gelatin of А type we receive by acid treatment of pig-skin collagen. Gelatin of В type we receive by alkali treatment of beef cattle skins. At that gelling action of both types still the same.
