Anaturalprotein
Gelatin isobtainedthroughpartialhydrolysisofcollagencontainedinanimalskinsandbones.It isanaturalprotein food typically consistingof85%protein, 13%waterand2%mineralswithacalorificvalueof370kcalper100g.
NutritionalValue
Gelatin is a fully digestible proteinwith a calorific value of 4 kcal/g. It contains 18 different amino-acids, including 8 of the 9 essential amino-acids that are essential to our body.Only tryptophan ismissing.Itisparticularlyrichinglycine,prolineandhydroxyproline,which,together,representalmost50%ofthecompositionofthemoleculeCleanlabelingredient

Binding&Thickening
Gelatineactsasanexcellentbinderandthicknerinawiderangeofconfectioneryproducts.Itcanbe used tomanufacture products such as sugarpaste, deposited liquorice, fruit chews, etc.Binding and thickening are the most importantproperties of Gelatine and the key to a vastrangeofconfectioneryapplications.
Gelling
Gelatine can be characterized in different waysand primarily by its gelling power andthermoreversibility. As a protein, Gelatine hasthe unique ability to form a thermoreversiblegel.This is the most important property ofGelatine and the key to a vast range ofconfectioneryapplications.
Texturizing
Gelatine is an important texturizer in a widerange of confectionery products. It can be usedaloneorincombinationwithothertexturizerstomanufacture products such as gummy bears,wine gums, pastilles, yogurt gums, depositedliquorice,fruitchews,etc.
Meltingatbodytemperature
Melting point of gelatin is close to bodytemperature, yielding a mouth feel far superiorto that of other fat substitutes andmaintainingthepleasureofeatinghealthyfoods.
Whipping&Coating
In aerated confectionery, dragées and coatedchewing gums, gelatine acts as an excellentwhipping and coating agent, giving products apleasantmouthfeel, a feeling of indulgence andlong-lastingflavorrelease.
Stabilization&Emulsification

A typical example of aerated confectionerycontaining Gelatine is marshmallow. This productgenerally contains between 3 and 4% high gel-strength Gelatine. Lower gel-strength Gelatine canbeusedathigherconcentrations(upto5to6%),butwillresultinchewiernishedproducts.

CHEWY
CONFECTIONERY
Fruitchews
These confectionery products arecharacterized by low aeration, a hightotal soluble solids content, andincorporation of fats. Gelatine is usedin these products for its emulsifyingproperties, its foaming action, toimprove chewability, and to controlcrystallizationofthesaccharose.
Toffee
Toffees are manufactured from amixtureofmilk,sugar,cornsyrup,fatsandavors,towhicha “frappé”canbeadded following concentration of thesugars.AsmallquantityofGelatineisused to improveemulsi cationand tostabilizethetextureofsofttoffees.
Nougat
Nougat comprises a mixture ofsugars, corn syrup, in certain caseshoney, invert sugar and fats, withtheadditionofa“frappé”followingconcentra- tion. Gelatine is acomponent of this “frappé”, and isused to stabilize the texture of thenishedproduct.
