Food Grade Gelatin Applications

 

 

Jelly Production: Functions as a primary gelling agent to establish the desired set and mouthfeel in standard gelatin desserts.

Confectionery Manufacturing: Implements texture control and chewiness in the production of marshmallows and gummy candies.

Dairy Processing: Acts as a stabilizing agent to prevent syneresis and maintain consistency in commercial yogurts.

Frozen Desserts: Controls ice crystal formation and improves melting resistance in ice-cream manufacturing.

Preserves & Jams: Serves as a thickening agent to achieve proper spreadability and structural stability in fruit jams.

 

Gelatin Performance in Food Processing

 

 

Thermal Reversibility: Forms a thermally reversible gel that melts at approximately body temperature, contributing to the characteristic mouthfeel of gelatin-based foods.

Water Binding Capacity: Retains moisture effectively within food matrices to extend shelf life and prevent product drying.

Clarity Control: Provides high optical clarity with a transparency index between 200 and 400 mm for visually clear dessert products.

Viscosity Stability: Maintains functional flow characteristics within a 30 to 48 viscosity range during industrial processing cycles.

 

Bloom Strength & Gelatin Dosage

 

 

Grade Selection: Available from 120 to 260 bloom strength to accommodate soft-set textures or firm gummy formulations.

Concentration Control: Standardized testing is measured at a 6.67% solution concentration to verify batch consistency.

Granular Adjustments: Particle size ranges between 5 and 120 mesh to match specific dissolution and blending requirements in dry mix manufacturing.

 

Food Safety & Quality Control

 

 

Trace Element Limits: Complies with strict heavy metal thresholds, maintaining arsenic levels under 1 ppm and total heavy metals (as Pb) below 50 ppm.

Sulfur Dioxide Compliance: Restricted to a maximum SO2 content of 50 ppm to ensure safety in sensitive food applications.

Microbial Standards: Total bacterial count is controlled below 1000 cfu/g, with guaranteed negative results for E. coli in 10g and Salmonella in 25g.

Regulatory Compliance: Manufactured to meet industrial food-grade standards suitable for both private and publicly traded food processing companies.

 

Packaging & Storage

 

 

Packaging Material: Sealed in moisture-barrier bags or lined fiber drums to prevent ambient humidity absorption and subsequent product caking.

Storage Environment: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and strong odor sources to preserve physical integrity.

Shelf Life Integrity: Maintains specified chemical and physical properties for up to 24 months when kept in unopened, original packaging under recommended conditions.

Batch Traceability: Each packaging unit is labeled with batch numbers, production dates, and net weights to facilitate inventory management and quality tracking.

 

FAQ

 

 

Q: What is the minimum order quantity for custom mesh sizes like 5-mesh or 120-mesh?

A: Custom grinding requires a baseline batch volume; contact our sales team with your required tonnage.

Q: Are Certificates of Analysis (COA) provided with each shipment?

A: Yes, every lot includes a COA covering bloom strength, viscosity, and microbial test results.

Q: Does high heat or humidity during ocean freight affect product stability?

A: Prolonged exposure to extreme heat can cause caking, so moisture-barrier packaging is used for transit protection.

Q: What documentation is available for facility audits and supplier approval?

A: We supply technical data sheets, allergen statements, and standard food safety certificates upon request.

Q: What is the standard production lead time after order confirmation?

A: Standard stock orders typically ship within two weeks; custom Bloom blends require scheduling adjustments.

Q: Are laboratory samples available for R&D evaluation prior to bulk purchasing?

A: Yes, sample quantities are provided for your technical team to test gelling performance in-house.
