GelatIn PropertIes and BenefIts
In addition to its versatile and widest multi-functionality, such as gelling, emulsifying, foaming, binding, gelatin also offers unique benefits.
Natural and safe
Gelatin is completely natural and naturally fat-free, cholesterol-free and non-allergenic.
In fact gelatin is considered as a food product and doesn’t have E number that other gelling agents normally have. It’s practically all protein with 8 out 9 essential amino
acids, easily digested and does not have potential damages that some of other gelling agents might have.
Unique texture
Gelatin melts at around the level of body temperature. This gives it a unique melt-in-mouth texture and excellent release of flavour, which are essentially irreplaceable for certain applications.
Excellent clarity/transparency
Gelatin forms transparent and flavourless gels and films. This gives a lot of freedom to manufacturers in choosing the colour and flavour of their products.
