What is gelantine?

Gelatin is a translucent, colorless, and flavorless food ingredient derived from collagen, which is obtained from animal bones, skin, and connective tissues. It is commonly used as a gelling agent in cooking and food production, particularly in desserts like jelly, marshmallows, and gummy candies. Additionally, gelatin is utilized in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and Photography. It is rich in protein but lacks essential amino acids, making it less suitable as a primary protein source.
