Gelatin is a natural gelling and thickening agent obtained from animal sources. Gelatin forms strong, transparent, and flexible gels and films. It is easily soluble in hot water and, thus, is valuable in food processing, pharmaceuticals, photography, and paper production. Gelatin is 90% protein and contains 18 amino acids, including nine of the 10 essential amino acids. Thus, the increasing demand for high protein products is driving the growth of the gelatin market across the globe.
