Description

Gelatin (Granular & Powder) is a high-purity, multifunctional biopolymer derived from the partial hydrolysis of collagen. This versatile ingredient is critical for providing essential functional properties such as gelling, thickening, stabilizing, and film-forming across numerous industries. It is an indispensable material for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, nutraceutical, and photographic sectors seeking reliable, compliant, and high-performance raw materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical: Used as a key excipient in the production of hard and soft gelatin capsules, tablet coatings, and as a binder in granulation processes.
• Food & Beverage: Essential for creating gelling agents in confectionery (e.g., gummies, marshmallows), stabilizers in dairy products like yogurt, clarifiers in juices and wines, and texturizers in desserts.
• Photographic & Technical: Serves as a crucial binding medium for light-sensitive silver halide crystals in photographic films and papers.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as a film-forming agent and texture enhancer in hair care products, skin creams, and face masks.
• Industrial Applications: Employed as an adhesive component, a sizing agent in paper production, and in the microencapsulation of active ingredients.
