Abstract
The production of gelatin involves several steps, beginning with the extraction of collagen from raw materials through processes such as acid or alkaline treatment, followed by hydrolysis to break down the collagen into smaller peptides and amino acids. This is then filtered, concentrated, and often further processed to form sheets, granules, or powders, depending on the intended use.
Physical Properties
Gelatin is highly soluble in hot water, forming a clear, viscous solution that can gel when cooled. This gel-forming ability is one of the key properties that make gelatin so versatile in applications such as food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
Nutritional Value
Gelatin is composed primarily of protein, specifically collagen, which is rich in amino acids such as glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. While it does not contain all the essential amino acids required by the human body for protein synthesis, it is still valued for its unique nutritional properties and potential health benefits.
