Gelatin is an additive that is most commonly used in confectionery. Helps increase the durability and firm consistency of products. When using gelatin, many liquid products can be made into jelly.
Gelatin is made from the tissues of live mammals, derived from collagen tissue, which is located in the connective tissue in the area of connection of muscles and bones.
Collagen tissue turns into gelatin when boiled in water. Upon cooling, the water-soluble collagen tissue turns into a gel. There is a translucent structure that has no taste in itself. Gelatin is produced from the dense tissue of cattle and pigs.
There are two methods for producing gelatin. One method is the production from the tissues of pigs and cattle, and the second from the horns and bones.
Gelatin is easy to use, dissolves quickly in water. There are two types of gelatin - gelatin sheets and gelatin powder.
In the food sector, gelatin is used to make jelly candies, jellies, juices, wines, dairy and meat products.
It is also used in making souffle, cream, nougat, Turkish delight, beer, wine, canned food, meat sauces, cheese and milk. In chocolate milks, creams, frozen cakes it is used as a stabilizer.
Apart from the food sector, gelatin is also used in cosmetics, photography and medicine. Silver bromide is a material used in the field of photography, cinema, to detect X-rays used in radiography and in images of plastic tape.
It is in the production of silver bromide that gelatin is used. Gelatin is also used in the cosmetics industry, especially in the production of hair care products. In the pharmaceutical industry it is used to make medicines, tablets, serums, capsules.
Gelatin can be replaced with other products. For example, fish paste - produced from certain types of algae; pectin, which is found in the peel of lemons and oranges; gluten - has a better taste and aroma than gelatin, easier to absorb by the body.
