Gelatin is a hydrocolloid and is rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which imparts structural stability. It is synthesized from the alkaline digestion of collagen from bovine skin and is referred as type B. Gelatin has wide applications in food industry. It takes up random coil structure after digestion from the triple helical collagen. The most common source for industrial production of gelatin is slaughter byproducts. The type A gelatin and type B differ in their isoelectric pH.
