How is gelatin made?

An explanation of the production of gelatin will help in understanding

the properties and the characteristics which exist among several types

and grades.

Gelatin is derived from collagen, an insoluble fibrous protein that occurs in vertebrates and is the principal constituent of connective tissues and bones.

Collagen is distinctive in that it contains an unusually high level of the cyclic amino acids; proline and hydroxyproline .

It consists of three helical polypeptide chains wound around each other and connected by intermolecular cross links.

Gelatin is recovered from collagen by hydrolysis.

There are veral varieties of gelatin, the composition of which depends on the source of collagen and the hydrolytic treatment used.

Is all gelatin the same ?

No.

Gelatin is tested and " Graded" according to strength.

The Grade is based on the " Bloom" test .

Higher Bloom result , higher grade of gel set.



It is usually priced according to the gelling ability : higher bloom, higher price ; and also classified according to its ability based on various standards.

What is " Bloom" ?

The measurement of force, in grams, required to depress a standard plunger 4mm into the surface of a 6.67% gelatin sample at 10 °C ( 50 °F) .

The firmer the set of gelatin, the higher , the better bloom strength.
