With the rapid increase of interest in vegetarian, halal, and kosher foods, there has become an increasing need to substitute gelatin. The main reason is that sources of commercial gelatin are limited to collagen from pig skin or cow skin and bones.
Gelatin has become a volatile ingredient with supply constraints experienced with beef hide gelatin, creating more demand for pig skin gelatin. With the collagen market taking off in the beauty sector, there has been an increased demand for collagen also causing some of these supply constraints for gelatin.
Are you considering gelatin replacement and wonder what the options are? Are you faced with the challenge of creating cost effective products with ingredients that have a stable supply chain?
