Product type
Gelatin is a natural protein derived from collagen, which is found in animal connective tissues. It is commonly used as a gelling agent in various food products due to its ability to form a gel-like consistency when dissolved in hot water and cooled. Gelatin is typically used in desserts, jellies, marshmallows, and gummy candies, as well as in some dairy products and sauces.

When choosing gelatin, buyers should consider the source (porcine or bovine) based on dietary restrictions and preferences. Bloom strength is an important factor that affects the gelling properties, so specify the required strength for your application. Additionally, indicate whether you need powdered gelatin or sheets, as well as any specific certifications such as halal or kosher if applicable. Quantities should also be specified, as bulk purchasing may offer cost benefits.
