Abstract
Food Industry: Gelatin is widely used as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and thickener in food products such as jellies, desserts, yogurts, and marshmallows. It is also used in meat products to improve texture and moisture retention.
Pharmaceuticals: In the pharmaceutical industry, gelatin is used to make capsules, tablets, and softgels. Its ability to form a stable gel makes it ideal for controlled-release formulations.
Cosmetics: Gelatin is used in cosmetics as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and texturizer. It can help improve the skin's elasticity and hydration when applied topically.
Photography: In the early days of photography, gelatin was used as the basis for photographic emulsions. While digital photography has largely replaced film, gelatin-based emulsions are still used in some specialty applications.
Other Applications: Gelatin is also used in printing inks, adhesives, and various technical applications such as clarifying beverages and stabilizing emulsions.
