Top 5 Ways to Use Beef Bovine Gelatin

As food or pharmaceutical manufacturers, you’ll want to ensure your products are safe and appropriate for all customers. Bovine gelatin is a good choice for making halal or kosher products. It is an excellent choice for consumers who do not consume fish or pork. They can choose to take medicines or vitamins or consume foods having BSE-free gelatin from bovines or cows without an issue.

 

Bovine gelatin is similar to other types of gelatin that are almost odorless, tasteless, and clear. It is a product protein derived from the hydrolysis of collagen and extracted from various bovine tissues such as the bone and skin. It can be used in many types of food, and consumers typically cannot tell the difference or identify the type of gelatin in their products unless they read the labels.

 

There are many ways to introduce beef gelatin into your products. Here are five suggestions:

 

1. Stabilizer

 

The gelatin is considered a stabilizer and texturizer in recipes as it absorbs liquid and creates a jelly or gel consistency. And because it is virtually tasteless and colorless, it does not drastically affect the product's taste.

 

2. Fat substitutes

 

Fat substitutes simulate the physical and chemical properties of oils and fats. BSE-free gelatin can be a protein-based fat substitute as it can imitate the lubrication and smooth characteristics of fat. Gelatin contains polysaccharides that bind plenty of water, providing lubricity and a creamy sensation in the mouth.

 

3. Gelatin capsules

 

Majority of hard capsule and softgel (soft capsule) that encapsulate food supplement or pharmaceutical products that you can find in the market now adays made from bovine gelatin and most of them are halal and kosher certified

 

4. Binders

 

Beef gelatin can be used as a binder in various applications, such as sandpaper-making and matchmaking. It’s also an excellent binder for meat substitutes or vegan products like vegan eggs.

 

5. Film coatings

 

BSE-free gelatin as film coatings can extend the shelf-life and maintain the safety and quality of food by protecting against external contamination and factors that can speed up deterioration.

 

These are just some of the ways you can use beef-derived gelatin. Be sure to source it from a reputable manufacturer that offers GMO-free and FDA and BSE-certified gelatin products that meet the requirements of all consumers regardless of belief, nationality, and religion.
