What is Porcine Gelatin Market?
Gelatin is alternatively termed as the hydrolyzed collagen or collagen hydrolysate, is a heterogeneous mixture of water-soluble collagen protein mostly derived from the animals. Gelatin is brittle (when dried), flavourless, translucent protein sourced from either bovine or porcine. Porcine gelatin is the type of gelatin obtained from the porcine, which is dense with vital amino acids and collagen. The porcine gelatin is obtained through permanent hydrolysis of the relevant skin, tendons, ligaments, bones of the swine in water. Due to excellent properties of porcine gelatin, it is widely used in food processing, pharmaceutical, cosmetics application.
