Bovine Gelatine
Bovine Gelatine is a protein-rich substance derived from the collagen found in the bones, skin and connective tissues of cattle (bovine). It is widely used in a variety of food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications, including in the production of gummy supplements, capsules, marshmallows, jellies, and cooked meats.
Characteristics of Bovine Gelatine
- Appearance: It is typically sold in sheets or powdered form and is translucent with a yellowish or light brown color.
- Texture: It is known for its ability to form a gel-like consistency when dissolved in hot water and cooled, making it useful for thickening and stabilising various products.
- Taste and Odour: Gelatine is flavourless and odourless in its pure form, allowing it to be used in a wide range of applications without altering the taste of the product.
