China H&Z® Gelatin is pale yellow, unscented, flavorless, hydrolyzed and granular. Gelatin is extracted from fresh, unprocessed bovine hides/bones, and it is a high molecular weight protein (without fat and cholesterol) composed of 18 amino acids. Gelatin is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals manufacturing.

Gelatin introduction:
H&Z® Gelatin is an odorless, tasteless thickening agent that forms a gel when combined with liquid and heated. It is thermo-reversible, which means that the gel liquefies when heated above its melting point but regains a jelly-like consistency when cooled again.
The raw material for gelatin is collagen, a naturally occurring pure protein, which is commercially produced from bones, cartilage, tendons, skin and connective tissue of various animals.

Gelatin Functions
1. A matrix of excipient suspensions and media.
2. According to the functional nature of gelatin, its use can be divided into two categories. (Such as candy, ice cream, cod liver oil capsules, etc.) for the production of polyvinyl chloride, photographic materials, bacterial culture and pharmaceuticals.Another type of use of its bonding capacity as a binder for paper, printing, textile, printing and dyeing and other industrial sectors. Depending on the purpose, the quality requirements for gelatin are not the same. When the gelatin is used as a binder in adhesive tape, paper container, paper tube, binding, etc., the bond strength is the main value factor; when used in photography,food, medicine and other fields, the product purity
3. is a hydrophilic colloid, a protective colloid effect, can be used as hydrophobic colloidal stabilizer, emulsifier. Is a two-sex electrolyte, in the water can be charged particles condensed into pieces, which can be used as alcohol and alcohol clarifier. As a dispersant, binder, thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier is widely used in photographic materials, pharmaceuticals,food, paper, printing, textile, printing and dyeing, electroplating, cosmetics, bacterial culture, pesticides.
4. For printing and dyeing, printing and other industries
5. For the colloid or colorimetric determination of the protective colloid, also used for photographic plate, the preparation of media
6. Used as food quality improver
7. Thickener; Stabilizer; Clarifying agent; Foaming agent.Gelatin is a hydrophilic colloid, with the nature of protective colloid, can be used as a hydrophobic colloid stabilizer,emulsifier. And for the two-sex electrolyte, so in the aqueous solution can be charged particles condensed into pieces, used as alcohol, alcohol clarifier.
8. For thickeners, China can be used for all types of food, according to the production needs of appropriate use. But also for alcohol clarifier and hydrophobic colloidal stabilizer.
Gelatin Applications
1.In food industry,as gelatinizing agent,thickener,deflocculant used in health food such as ice cream, beverage, form food, meat product, jam, etc.
2.In pharmaceutical industry:used as bonding agent, biology bonding agent, sustained-release and controlled-release tablet, medical dressing, dental impression material, firming agent.,etc.
3.In daily industry:used as peel mask,thickening stabilizing agent for cosmetic.
4.In fodder industry:used as fodder bonding agent,pet food bonding agent,etc.
