Gelatine is a natural and healthy food, being a pure protein made from animal raw materials that contain collagen and is an extremely versatile hydrocolloid, which allows for endless applications.

It consists of approx. 90% protein and contains a total of 18 amino acids, of which 8 out of 9 are essential amino acids for the human body.

Biogel has been involved in the production of gelatine for various uses in different fields. In the food industry, gelatine is a multiform raw material, which is used as a gelling agent, stabilizer, emulsifier and binder. It is widely used in confectionery and bakery products, due to its properties of providing the right firmness to cakes or puddings and the proper creaminess to fillings. It is also used in biscuits, to make them crunchier. Gelatine is the basic ingredient in one of the preferred delicacies by children and adults, the gummy candies, by providing elasticity, clarity and lucidity to the candy. In addition to the marshmallows, where the gelatine plays an important role in stabilizing the aeration and providing a fluffy texture. For the production of meats, food-grade gelatine is used because, in addition to acting as a glue, increases the protein content. Gelatine is also added in some types of beverages: in wine, for which it plays a role of clarification and flocculation by reducing turbidity and regulating the tannin content; in beers and fruit juices, for which it gives greater clarity.
