Industrial, Food & Pharmaceutical Grade Gelatin CAS 9000-70-8 Natural Protein Gelling Agent, Capsule Raw Material & Thickener for Confectionery, Pharm

Gelatin (CAS: 9000-70-8, EINECS: 232-554-6, HS Code: 3503001000) is a natural water-soluble protein obtained by partial hydrolysis of collagen from animal skin, bones and tendons. It is classified into Type A (acid-cured process) and Type B (lime-cured process), and we supply food grade, pharmaceutical grade and industrial grade products complying with international quality standards. It appears as light yellow to white translucent granules or powder, dissolves in hot water and forms reversible elastic gel after cooling. With excellent gelling, thickening, film-forming, emulsifying and biocompatible properties, it is widely applied in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, photographic and industrial fields.

Applications
Food Industry (Core Application)
As a natural gelling agent, thickener and stabilizer, it is widely used in gummy candies, jellies, puddings, marshmallows and other confectionery products to endow elastic and smooth mouthfeel. It is also added to meat products, canned food, dairy products, ice cream and beverages for water retention, emulsification and tissue stabilization, being one of the most widely used colloidal raw materials in the food industry.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Pharmaceutical grade gelatin is the core capsule shell material for hard and soft gelatin capsules. It also serves as tablet binder, suppository base, hemostatic sponge raw material and plasma substitute ingredient. With excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, it is one of the most commonly used pharmaceutical excipients complying with major pharmacopoeia standards.
Cosmetics & Personal Care
Added to creams, lotions, shampoos, facial masks and hair care products to perform film-forming, moisturizing, thickening and hair-conditioning functions. It forms a breathable protective film on skin and hair, locks in moisture, improves skin elasticity and hair smoothness, and is a mild natural skincare and haircare raw material.
Photographic Sensitized Materials
High-purity industrial gelatin is an important film-forming medium and emulsion carrier for silver halide photographic films and photographic papers. It uniformly disperses silver salt particles, regulates photosensitive performance, and acts as a protective colloid, being an indispensable raw material in the traditional photographic material industry.
Industrial Application Fields
Used as adhesive for sandpaper and abrasive cloth, surface sizing agent for papermaking, sizing agent for textile printing and dyeing, and binder for matches and wood furniture. Its strong bonding force and tough film property can replace part of chemical adhesives and improve the environmental performance of products.
Biological & Scientific Research
Cell culture grade gelatin is used for coating culture dishes to promote cell adhesion and growth. It is also applied in microbial medium preparation, protective agent for biological preparations, and R&D of tissue engineering scaffold materials.
