Gelatin

Gelatin is a semi transparent, colourless and flavourless solid obtained from collagen and which is commonly used as gelling agent in food. It is produced in the form of sheets, granules or powder. Instant types can be added to the food as they are; others need to be soaked in water beforehand.
Gelatin is found in most gummy candies as well as other products like marshmallows and some ice creams. Gelatin is used as a stabiliser, thickener or texturiser in foods such as yogurt, cream cheese and margarine. Gelatin is also used for the clarification of juices like apple juice and of vinegar.
