Gelatine

Gelatine is a high-quality, low-calorie and low-fat protein, free from cholesterol and sugar. Gelatine has hardly any allergenic potential and contains 18 amino acids, 9 of which are essential. Due to its good gelling properties, it is used in the food and confectionery industry, in tablet [---6a711a761342f---[Production]---6a711a761342f---] and in the photographic paper industry. Gelatine consists mainly of pork rinds and bones, which come from registered slaughterhouses and are cooked and cleaned several times at high temperatures during the [---6a711a761342f---[Production]---6a711a761342f---] process.
