Gelatine shows a wide-range of physico-chemical properties which confer its great versatility and a large number of functionalities.

Gelatine is a natural protein that provides gelling and stabilizing properties to water-based media. These properties depend on the type of gelatine, its concentration, pH and operating conditions of temperature.

What makes gelatine unique in terms of functionalities is its thermo-reversible gelling power: a gelatine-based formulation gels when cooled and liquefies when subsequently heated. This transformation occurs rapidly and can be repeated without significant changes in characteristics. With all its functionalities the versatility of gelatine is outstanding.
