Description

Gelatin CAS NO 9000-70-8 is a natural, high-molecular-weight protein derived from the partial hydrolysis of collagen, primarily from animal skin and bones. This versatile biopolymer is essential for its unique functional properties, including gelation, film-forming, thickening, and stabilizing capabilities. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, food, nutraceutical, photographic, and cosmetic industries seeking reliable, high-quality gelling and binding agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical: Used as a key excipient in the production of hard and soft gelatin capsules, tablet binding and coating, plasma expanders, and wound dressings.
• Food & Beverage: Functions as a gelling agent in desserts (marshmallows, gummy candies, jelly), a stabilizer and thickener in yogurts and cream cheeses, and a clarifier in wines and juices.
• Photographic Industry: Serves as the primary carrier for light-sensitive silver halide crystals in photographic films and papers.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Employed in formulations for hair care products, face masks, and lotions for its film-forming and moisturizing properties.
• Technical & Industrial: Used in the manufacture of microencapsulation, adhesives, paper sizing, and as a culture medium in microbiology.
