Edible gelatin is a protein primarily extracted from animal bones, skin, and connective tissues.
The main component of gelatin is collagen, a structural protein with excellent gelling and solidifying properties. Collagen is a protein composed of amino acids, exhibiting high stability and solubility. It contains a large number of amino acids, especially glycine, hydroxyproline, proline, and prolyl-tyrosine, which enable gelatin to form gels.
In food processing, gelatin is commonly used to increase the gelling, viscosity, or stability of food products. It can be used in the production of jellies, candies, puddings, jelly desserts, pastry fillings, and some meat products, such as sausages. In addition, gelatin is widely used in the pharmaceutical, medical, and cosmetic industries for the manufacture of capsules, softgels, pills, capsule supplements, and some cosmetics. If adverse symptoms occur after ingestion or use, seek medical attention immediately.
