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.

 Since Collagen is derived from animal by products Hindu and Jain customs may call for vegetarian alternatives. These include agar-agar, carrageenan(both seaweed extracts), pectin and Konjak

Cooking Tips 8

For those eggies here are some eggy cookery tips: When beating egg white for cake add the sugar little by little. If you add the necessary sugar at one go the mix may become watery. When beating egg for omelet add a pinch of Bakers Cornflour. The taste will be better, the omelet will be fluffy and soft and it will also rise better. When roasting cutlet use egg white instead of the whole egg. Beat the egg white in milk before use. If you do this 'threads' also won't make an appearance.
