Gelatin is soluble in hot water to form a thermoreversible gel. It has extremely good physical properties, such as affinity, high dispersibility, low viscosity characteristics, dispersion stability, etc. Therefore, gelatin is an important food additive. For example, it is widely used as food jelly, stabilizer, etc. At the same time, gelatin is also used as the raw material for soft and hard capsules and tablet sugar coatings.
Medicinal gelatin is high-grade gelatin that is easily absorbed by the human body without fat and high in protein, and is prepared from animal skin, bone and tendon through complex physical and chemical treatment. It has the physical characteristics of high viscosity, high freezing force, and easy freezing. Various properties of gelatin, such as gelatin, solid water, cohesiveness, and solubility, make gelatin widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, among which the most important are hard capsules, soft capsules, plasma substitutes, and coatings.
Edible gelatin is light yellow to yellow fine granules. It is made of pig, cow, mule, and horse skins (except other animal skins) after removing impurities, sterilizing, and cooking to form the juice, and then dehydrated and made into gelatin. Strips, films, powder particles. This product contains 18 kinds of amino acids and 90% collagen, which is rich in health care and beauty effects, and has excellent colloid protection, surface activity, viscosity, film-forming, buffering, wettability, stability, and water. Easily soluble.
