Product Description

Gelatin (or gelatine) is a translucent, colorless, brittle (when dry), flavorless solid substance, derived from the collagen mainly inside pig skin (hide) and cattle bones. It is commonly used as a gelling agent in food, pharmaceuticals, photography, and cosmetic manufacturing. 

Substances containing gelatin or functioning in a similar way are called gelatinous. Gelatin is an irreversibly hydrolysed form of collagen, and is classified as a foodstuff. It is found in some gummy candies as well as other products such as marshmallows, gelatin dessert, and some ice cream and yogurt. Household gelatin comes in the form of sheets, granules, or powder.



Application

1. Pharmaceutical Capsules:

Pharmaceutical grade gelatin is an indispensable excipient in the production of hard capsules and soft capsules for its good film-forming and gelling properties.Gelatin films are mainly used to protect drugs enclosed, to ensure the safe delivery of APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients), and mask poor taste and odour. 

It makes the drugs store easily, maintains the active bioavailability of APIs, and protects them from light, moisture, and oxygen. At the same time,  gelatin capsules can quickly dissolve in the gastric acid to ensure the fast drug release in the body.

Hard gelatin capsules are the dosage form for powdered and granulated APIs. Its shells are made of two parts – body and cap that mainly consist of gelatin, opacifying agent (e.g. titanium dioxide), colors, and other ingredients.

Soft gelatin capsules are designed for liquid or semi-solid fillings, such as omega-3 fish oils. They’re a one-piece shell which is composed of gelatin, plasticizer (e.g. glycerol), colors and other ingredients.

For vegetariansnd vegans, plant-based alternatives such as HPMC (hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose) and modified food starch may be suitable

It can also be used as a binder in both wet granulation and direct compression of tablets. 

2. Vitamin coating:

It can be used as a matrix material to embed drops/oils of vitamin A, vitamin E or carotenoids, which are sensitive to light and oxygen, into a free-flowing powder during the vitamin coating process.

3. Food: 

Food grade gelatin can act as a gelling agent, stabilizer, binder, emulsifier, film former, or whipping agent in food. The properties of thermo-reversibility and melts in the mouth are welcomed by consumers.
