5.1.3 Scientific content

For the study of gelatins, it is necessary to understand the meaning of some words:

Thickening agent: These are substances with high molecular content, that are only
soluble, dispersible or inflatable in water and with this form viscous solutions, gels or
pseudogels.

Amino acids: Basic components of proteins.

Coagulation: Term for the conversion of a solid into a gel under the process of
flocculation.

5.1.4 Raw materials
In general, most gelatins are extracted from selected raw materials that contain
collagen. These are pig skin, scraps of beef or veal skin, as well as bones of
these, only of animals that have been examined by veterinarians and that have been
authorized for human consumption.

5.1.5 Raw material pig skin


The companies supplying pigskin are the slaughtering businesses or the
meat product factories. There, pig skins are separated from fatty tissues.
they carry underneath and are transported to gelatin factories whether fresh, refrigerated or
frozen, according to the distance. If necessary, they are temporarily stored in
own cold storage chambers up to their subsequent treatment.

5.1.6 Raw material leather scraps


The middle layer of bovine skin is another very important raw material for the
gelatin production. After the sacrifice, the refrigerated or salted skin goes to the businesses.
that treat skins. There, the skins that have been intensively washed with
lime milk or with another base, are treated and depilated.
Then the distribution is carried out in three shifts:
The fleshy part, the so-called hypodermic tissue, is removed.
Subsequently, the epidermis is cut and later processed into leather.
Only the remaining middle layer, the skin trimmings, are suitable for the
gelatin production.

Before transportation to the gelatin factory, the preservation process is performed again.
which consists of the addition of lime or salt. Then the first processes begin
preparation in the gelatin factory with intensive washing processes and skin cutting
in manageable sizes.

5.1.7 Raw bone material

This raw material is primarily aimed at the production of photographic gelatin and
pharmaceutical. The raw material comes directly from slaughterhouses, companies of
dismemberment or from the meat product factories. Here begins a complicated
preparation process that begins with the crushing of bones, into sizes of lumps of
sugar. Then, through a process of combining with water, heat, and movement, it

and selected according to the grain size. After the demineralization of the bone
calibrated, the ossein is obtained, the raw material for the preparation of gelatin

5.1.8 How gelatin is produced.


Gelatin is produced in highly automated industrial plants, in a process of
various stages very complicated. The base material is the connective tissue of pigs, cattle,
birds or fish. From pig skins, veal and cow hides, as well as bones, it is extracted
collagen protein and is transformed into gelatin. The final product, gelatin, is a
high quality pure protein.

They have been used for decades to obtain high-quality gelatin.
4.3.2 Alkaline procedure; type B gelatin
The connective tissue of cattle is intensely reticulated, which is why it undergoes a
preliminary treatment with bleaches for several weeks. This achieves a
careful transformation of the collagenous structure. After this treatment, the
collagen becomes soluble in hot water, thus it can be extracted from the material
first remaining and proceed as the previous process.

5.1.10 How do gelatins work?

When the dry gelatin comes into contact with a liquid, it absorbs it and swells. When heated,
a liquid forms a fluid colloidal system with the liquid as the dispersing agent. As it
the system cools down, the fluid's viscosity increases and ends up solidifying into a gel
(colloidal system with a solid appearance).

The gel state is reversible to the sol state (fluid colloidal system) if the

stabilizer, it is in this form that it is used in prepared foods such as soups, candies,
jams, some desserts. It is also used as an emulsifying stabilizer in ice creams.
and in mixtures involving oils and water.

4.5 Correct dissolution of gelatin powder


Whether it's about producing gummy bears or capsules, fruit yogurts or
photographic paper, aspics, blood substitutes, the correct dissolution of gelatin is
always a decisive factor in the production of this product.
5.1.11 Duración y reacción de hinchamiento:
The preparation of gelatin solutions generally starts with what is called
swelling or enlargement. Here the properties of gelatin are used, that of
can increase in cold water from 5 to 10 times its weight. The time it takes to
absorbing this amount of water depends on the granulation of the gelatin powder:
Fine ground grains (0.1-0.3 mm) swell in a few minutes.
Semi-fine ground grains (0.3-0.8 mm) swell in about 10 minutes.
Coarse grain grinding (more than 2.0 mm) requires one hour or more until complete.
swelling.

In the duration and swelling reaction, not only the size has an influence
grains but also the water:
In aqueous solutions that contain acids (for example citric acid, tartaric acid,
Acetic acid causes the gelatin to swell much faster than in water.
Solutions that contain a lot of sugar or salt, on the contrary, delay the
swelling.

In the following dissolution processes, it must be taken into account that the properties of the
gelatin changes under heat and the effects of acids. This becomes noticeable through
a decrease in viscosity, a loss of gelling power, as well as a
increase in color.

The degree of these changes depends on the factors of temperature, concentration of acids and
time. In other words, according to the timing of the influencing factor, the
gelatin loses more and more quality both through heat and due to the influence of
acids. That is why it is good to know that a gelatin with good swelling properties is
it can dissolve easily and completely at a temperature between 50 and 60º. Within these
temperatures, gelatin solutions can be preserved for several hours without significant losses
of the gelling power. So, for example, after two hours at 60º it is still received
the 95% of the gelling power of gelatin.

A heating at high temperatures between 80º and 100º C can be successful without a
great loss of gelling power, if the solution is subjected only for a few
minutes at this temperature. Temperatures above 100º C like those achieved
in autoclaves or in solutions with a high percentage of sugar, should be avoided; since even in
for a short time, the loss of gelling power can be very high.

The quality deteriorates much more severely when the pH value of the
hot gelatin solutions (very high temperatures) in strong acidic areas or
alkaline. For this reason, the addition of acids or bases must be carried out when the gelatin

However, if it happens that a lot of air has been created during the process, the solution
it can be degassed by letting it rest for a while at maximum temperatures of 60 ºC,
without having to lament the loss of quality.

a large amount of water is available, the dissolution process can be
shortened. In this case, two processes can be used:

minutes and without additional heating in a container to dissolve
The powdered gelatin is slowly but vigorously stirred into water at 80-90º C until it
it has completely dissolved. In this process, it is essential to completely avoid the formation of
clumps. These clumps can originate during the treatment due to the rapid addition of
gelatin powder or by stirring very slowly. The lumps are formed by grains of
gelatin that is dry and sticky, which cannot dissolve unless subjected to a process
of mechanical grinding. This method has the advantage that the gelatin can dissolve in
a few minutes, since the process of intumescence or swelling does not take place. However
The solutions that result from this process are very hot and must be quickly

5.1.14 Types of gelatins:

5.1.14.1Hydrolyzed
Gelatin hydrolysates are, like all gelatins, pure collagen proteins, without
embargo, they do not possess gelling power. They serve as a protein source as
protein supplement, as support material, to reduce common salt and
intensify the flavor, for the clarification of drinks as well as collagen protein in the
dietary nutrition. The liquid gelatin, which is bought in pharmacies and stores of
dietary products, belong to this form of gelatin.

[Link].1Thefunctionalpropertiesofgelatin
Many problematic areas can be solved with gelatin.
The physicochemical behavior of gelatin is determined on one hand by the
amino acid sequence of the molecule and the spatial structure resulting from it, and by
other side due to the environmental conditions such as pH value, ionic strength and the interaction with
other molecules.

From practical experience, it is observed that gelatin can solve various areas.
problems:

. Thermoreversible gel forms of elastic nature


. Adjust the fluidity in the emulsions
. Avoid the coalescence and flotation of dispersed oils and fat particles in
different emulsion systems
. Avoid phase separation in frozen or sterilized emulsions.
. Avoid re-crystallization
. Air encapsulation in emulsions and creams
. Forms, films, and covers
. Avoid the synaeresis
. Provides consistency and texture to reduced-calorie products.
. Enhance the binding of fat in meat emulsions and in vol-au-vent.
. reduce the cooking damage of the sausage hash
. increase in water uptake in meat emulsions
. Improves the aeration and behavior of the ice creams
. Bind the tablets and pills
Here it can be observed that at the center of these effects are texturization,
formation of gels, the binding of water and surface effects such as emulsions and
foam formation. From this, typical functional properties can be derived.

According to the need clear as crystal or yellowish. According to the field of
action, these criteria have different significance. Through modern processes of
Today, crystalline and shiny gelatins can be produced.

The typical yellowish color of the gelatin decreases as the Bloom value increases.
That is why high Bloom value gelatins are used in certain products, in which
one does not want an influence on the color.
[Link].3Amphotericbehaviorofgelatin
Type A and Type B gelatin
The gelatin molecule can be electrically charged in different ways.
The production process of a gelatin establishes its isoelectric point (IEP), that is, the value
pH that corresponds to the neutral charge state of gelatin molecules. In a
acid procedure for the disintegration of pig skin (type A) the IEP is found with a
pH value between 8.0 and 9.0. The gelatins treated with the alkaline process, preferably from
skin and bone scraps, they have an IEP between 4.8 and 5.4.

For the practical use of gelatin, it is important to know that when the pH value and the
The IEP of a product are the same, it can cause turbidity and the loss of stability of the
gel. The compatibility of gelatin with other hydrocolloids is also influenced by
through the IEP. The pH value of a product is therefore a very important criterion

sparkling and aerated. Type A gelatins that form very good foam are
used where good aeration properties are required. Type B gelatins,
of alkaline treatment, on the contrary, they have low foaming capacity.

[Link].5Surfaceeffects
Gelatin can reduce the surface tension of aqueous systems. This is
influenced by the pH value of the system, as it establishes the charge state of the
gelatin. The ability to stabilize boundary surfaces through film formation, and
therefore, protecting a dispersed phase in a medium is a very important property
important. These effects are used in the production and stabilization of foams and
emulsions, such as in the encapsulation of vitamins.

[Link].6Granulometry
Particle size is not considered as a property of gelatin and does not have
influence on its quality. However, from the perspective of technical processing it is
a very important criterion for the user.
As the machinery equipment is diverse in factories, it should be agreed upon
granulometry with the producer, in order to obtain conditions of
ideal production.
[Link].7Meltingpoint
The solidification temperature depends on the Bloom value.
Another very important characteristic is the temperature, at which a gelatin solution

economic and with this it becomes an important quality characteristic of the
gelatin. The gelling power is determined by the Bloom value fixations; this is
the measure for the firmness of a standard gel under exactly established conditions.
Commercial gels have a Bloom value between 80 and 280. The firmness of a gel

With a high Bloom value, the fluidity reaction increases.
The fluidity reaction of a gelatin solution is of special significance, as
mainly influences the processing properties. In general, it increases the
viscosity when the Bloom value rises.
Furthermore, viscosity is also influenced by the type of raw material and of
process of making gelatin. For example, within the same solidity of the gel, the
gelatins treated by alkaline disintegration have a higher viscosity, compared
with those treated by the acid process.

[Link].11Beverages(clarificationofwinesandfruitjuices)
Gelatin enhances our drinking pleasure. Wines, juices, cider, and in some countries
the beer is subjected to a gelatin treatment to clarify it.
The clarification of wines and fruit juices has two objectives:
On one hand, it must remove the turbidity agents and tannins that negatively affect the
flavor and in the product's optics. On the other hand, through a prior sedimentation, it must
improve the performance capacity of the centrifuges installed in many of the
modern factories.

as a solution they are especially suitable, since they can also be distributed without gelifying
homogeneously in cold drinks. Due to their opposite charges, the turbidity agents
are absorbed, forming large aggregations or groups that accumulate and can be
retired. If necessary, the gelatin treatment is combined with the addition
of colloidal silica or bentonite. In this way, wines and fruit juices obtain their
desired brightness.
