ABSTRACT:
Gelatin is hydrolyzed cellulose which is derived from animal sources such as bones, ligaments, tendons, skin, etc. with boiling water. Gelatin is obtained from porcine skin, cattle hides and bones. Fish skin have a significant potential for the production of high-quality gelatin with different melting and gelling temperatures over a much larger range than mammalian gelatins but have a sufficiently high level of gel strength and viscosity. Humans discovered gelatin 1000s of years ago by cooking animal bones and hides to create a jelly like substance. The production of gelatin is granted in 1754. Gelatin is widely used biotic component used in foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and photographic films as a gelling agent, stabilizer, thickener, emulsifier as well as film former. Bloom strength is the unit used to measure quality of gelatin. Soft gelatin capsule is single dose containing a liquid in it.
