Description of Gelatin

Formula of Gelatin: C102H151O39N31
F.W. of Gelatin:
CAS no. of Gelatin: 9000-70-8
DOT of Gelatin: Nill
NFPA no. of Gelatin: 0-1-0
Class no.of Gelatin: Nill
UN no. of Gelatin: Nill
HS code of Gelatin: 35030090
Specific Gravity of Gelatin: 0.7 (fish gelatin)

1) Light yellow granule or powder.
2) Food grade, medical grade, industrial grade gelatin from different bloom.
Gelatin is nearly tasteless and odorless. Physical and chemical properties noted: colorless
or slightly yellow, transparent, brittle, odorless, tasteless sheets, flakes, or powder; soluble in hot water, glycerol, and acetic
acid; and insoluble in organic solvents. Gelatin swells and absorbs 5-10 times its weight of water to form a gel in aqueous solutions between 30-35degree C. Gelatin extracted from fish will have a gel point in the range of 5-10degree C. . These gels have increasing viscosity under stress and are thermally reversible. Gelatin has a unique protein structure that provides for a wide range of functional properties .
These proteins form a compound helix in aqueous solution.

Application of Gelatin

Gelatin is widely used in the food industry as the cementing agent, emulsifying agent and stabilizer, also can be used in adhesive,
emulsifier or premium cosmetics and medical industry for capsules.
Gelatin is also used as a fining agent in wine, and as a stabilizer, thickener, and texturizer for a range of products. Gelatin can be used as either a processing aid or an ingredient.
