Bovine Gelatin (E428)

Bovine Gelatin Bovine gelatin is a versatile hydrocolloid gelling agent available as Type A (acid hydrolyzed porcine/bovine hides for transparent gels and high bloom strength) and Type B (lime/alkaline hydrolyzed bovine bones for opaque gels, superior emulsification, and gelling at higher pH). Both provide thermo-reversible gel formation, emulsion stabilization, and film-forming properties delivering exceptional texture, heat resistance up to 35°C bloom strength, and clarity in aqueous systems. In the food industry, Type A excels in clear confections (250-300 bloom) while Type B dominates dairy/meat applications (150-250 bloom) with rapid setting at 10-25°C across pH 4-8.
