The Art and Science of Gelatin Production: Unlocking Versatility Across Industries

Welcome to the Gelken company blog! Today, we’re excited to guide you through the intricate journey of gelatin production. As innovators in the gelatin industry, we take pride in sharing the expertise and precision that drive the creation of this essential ingredient.

Derived from sources like bovine, porcine, and fish, gelatin undergoes carefully engineered processing methods—such as acid and alkaline treatments—to unlock its unique properties. These methods allow us to craft tailored formulations for a diverse range of applications across culinary, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.

In our production of beef gelatin, we exclusively select the second layer of bovine hides to ensure superior quality. Similarly, our fish and porcine gelatin are sourced from meticulously chosen tissues. This deliberate selection process guarantees the purity and performance of our products, meeting the varied needs of our customers.

Our production process encompasses a series of detailed steps:

1. Washing of hides
2. Boiling and filtration
3. Membrane concentration
4. Ion exchange
5. Steam heating
6. High-temperature sterilization (omitted by some manufacturers, potentially compromising product safety and shelf life)
7. Cooling and molding
8. Metal detection

Each phase is essential to ensuring the integrity, safety, and quality of our gelatin. For specialized dietary and cultural requirements, we offer Halal and Kosher-certified gelatin.

We uphold rigorous quality control measures at every stage of production. Transmittance at 450nm and 620nm, detailed in our Certificates of Analysis (COAs), ensures our gelatin maintains consistent color and clarity. Additionally, advanced metal detection systems control levels of heavy metals like Pb, Cr, Fe, and Hg, ensuring products are safe for consumption.

Beyond its renowned gelling properties, gelatin’s versatility enhances texture, stability, and functionality in an array of applications. From mouthwatering desserts to vital pharmaceutical capsules and innovative cosmetic solutions, gelatin remains a cornerstone in modern industry.

Producing gelatin is truly a harmonious blend of art and science. Precision, expertise, and dedication to quality are at the heart of everything we do.
