Gelatin — A Natural Functional Ingredient Driving Food and Pharmaceutical Development

Gelatin is a natural protein derived from animal collagen. With its gelling, thickening, film-forming, and moisture-retention properties, it has become a widely used functional ingredient in both the food and pharmaceutical industries. As global attention to health, safety, and natural ingredients continues to grow, gelatin is gaining increasing recognition for its application value.

Role of Gelatin in Food Processing
In the food industry, gelatin is applied in confectionery, puddings, dairy products, beverages, meat products, and more. It helps create a soft and elastic texture, while improving product structure to enhance appearance, taste, and mouthfeel. In addition, gelatin plays a helpful role in clarification, moisture retention, and system stabilization, offering more possibilities for food manufacturing.

Importance of Pharmaceutical Gelatin
In pharmaceuticals, gelatin is a key material for producing hard and soft capsules. Its plasticity and biocompatibility allow effective encapsulation and controlled release of active ingredients, making products easier to consume while meeting the requirements of different dosage forms regarding dissolution and absorption. Gelatin remains an essential material in capsule development and production.
