Gelatin
Gelatin is a hydrocolloid of animal origin, produced from pork and beef raw materials. Pig gelatin is treated with acid (type A gelatin), beef gelatin is treated with alkali (type B gelatin).
Pork gelatin has a lighter solution than beef gelatin, and therefore it is more suitable for the production of light-colored products. Beef gelatin has a wider scope. In particular, it is actively used in the production of halal and kosher products.
Edible gelatin is widely used in the confectionery industry in the production of marshmallows and chewing marmalade, in the meat industry in the production of brawns and aspics, in the dairy industry in the production of puddings and dairy desserts such as panna cotta. Gelatin is also actively used in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of soft and hard gelatin capsules.
