Gelatin or gelatine (from Latin: gelatus meaning “stiff” or “frozen”) is a translucent, colorless, flavorless food ingredient, commonly derived from collagen taken from animal body parts. It is brittle when dry and rubbery when moist. It may also be referred to as hydrolyzed collagen, collagen hydrolysate, gelatine hydrolysate, hydrolyzed gelatine, and collagen peptides after it has undergone hydrolysis. It is commonly used as a gelling agent in food, beverages, medications, drug and vitamin capsules, photographic films and papers, and cosmetics.
Substances containing gelatin or functioning in a similar way are called gelatinous substances. Gelatin is an irreversibly hydrolyzed form of collagen, wherein the hydrolysis reduces protein fibrils into smaller peptides; depending on the physical and chemical methods of denaturation, the molecular weight of the peptides falls within a broad range. Gelatin is in gelatin desserts, most gummy candy and marshmallows, ice creams, dips, and yogurts. Gelatin for cooking comes as powder, granules, and sheets. Instant types can be added to the food as they are; others must soak in water beforehand.
Edible Gelatin Application:
Gummy candy, marshmallows, ham, yogurt, wine and juice fining, jelly, jelly bean, pastilles, caramels, toffees, licorice, cheese products, mousses, desserts, sour cream, canned products.
Eggs in aspicGelatin are used for the clarification of juices, such as apple juice, and of vinegar. Isinglass, from the swim bladders of fish, is still used as a fining agent for wine and beer. Besides hartshorn jelly, from deer antlers, isinglass was one of the oldest sources of gelatin.
Gelatin is divided into edible gelatin, medicinal gelatin, industrial gelatin, photographic gelatin, and leather glue and bone glue according to the production raw materials, production methods, product quality, and product use.
Applications of Gellan Gum
(1). Eat gelatin. It is an important ingredient and additive in the food industry. It is often used as a gelling agent, stabilizer, emulsifier, thickener, and clarifying agent in the production of meat products, cakes, ice cream, beer, juice, etc.
(2). Biofilm material. The most studied gelatin base film materials are mainly chitosan-gelatin blend film, gelatin-silk fibroin blend film, polylactic acid-gelatin blend film, and polyvinyl alcohol-gelatin blend film, etc. These mixed materials are greatly improved. The physical and chemical properties of gelatin make the gelatin-based polymer film material more functional.
(3). Medical fiber. The blending of other composite materials with gelatin improves the mechanical properties of gelatin-based medical fiber materials. Tissue repair and replacement.
(4). Industrial gelatin. Used in the manufacture of fiber textiles, insulating materials, paper, holographic materials, etc
PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE GELATIN
In the pharmaceutical health industry, gelatin is used to make the shells of hard and soft capsules, tablets, granulation, suppositories substitute for medicines, dietary health supplements, syrups, and so on. it is highly digestible and serves as a natural protective coating for medicines.
Cosmetics
In cosmetics, hydrolyzed collagen may be found in topical creams, acting as a product texture conditioner, and moisturizer. Collagen implants or dermal fillers are also used to address the appearance of wrinkles, contour deficiencies, and acne scars, among others. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved its use and identifies cow (bovine) and human cells as the sources of these fillers. According to the FDA, the desired effects can last for 3–4 months, which is relatively the most short-lived compared to other materials used for the same purpose.
Used as a carrier, coating, or separating agent for other substances, for example, it makes β-carotene water-soluble, thus imparting a yellow color to any soft drinks containing β-carotene.
Ballistic gelatin is used to test and measure the performance of bullets shot from firearms.
