Gelatin (bloom 240)

Gelatin 240 Bloom is a high-strength hydrocolloid consisting of animal-derived protein substances obtained through the partial hydrolysis of collagen—the primary structural protein found in animal connective tissues. Engineered with a high gelation potential, it is widely utilized across the food industry and professional culinary sectors for applications requiring maximum gel strength and rapid setting times.

Technical Specifications:
Gel Strength: 240 Bloom (high-bloom category, providing exceptional gel firmness and elasticity)

Origin: Pure protein product of animal origin

Appearance: Pale, translucent crystalline powder or granules

Thermal & Hydration Behavior: Swells in cold water and diluted acids by absorbing 10 to 15 times its weight in liquid; fully dissolves at temperatures above 27°C to form a clear solution that sets into a thermo-reversible gel upon cooling.

Applications:
Confectionery & Pastry: The premier choice for structured gummy candies, premium marshmallows, mirror glazes, panna cottas, structured mousses, and stable pastry creams.

Savory Food Processing: Crucial for industrial canned meats and fish, premium savory aspics, terrines, and meat-binding applications.

Dairy & Frozen Desserts: Used in ice cream, yogurts, and cream cheeses to prevent syneresis, control overrun, and provide a velvety mouthfeel while maintaining shape.

Emulsification & Stabilization: Functions as an effective stabilizer and fat-mimetic in emulsified sauces, culinary toppings, and low-fat mayonnaises.

Fining & Clarification: Extensively utilized as a processing aid in beverage technology for the clarification and fining of water, beer, juices, and fine wines.

Key Advantages:
Superior Gel Strength (240 Bloom): Allows for lower usage levels compared to standard gelatin while delivering a dense, firm, and elastic texture with exceptional structural integrity.

Multifunctional Performance: Operates simultaneously as a powerful gelling agent, thickener, emulsion stabilizer, and whipping aid.

Excellent Melt-in-the-Mouth Profile: Despite its high strength, it maintains thermo-reversibility, melting cleanly at body temperature to release flavors beautifully.

Industrial Efficiency: Highly stable and reliable, making it a cost-effective solution for both high-throughput industrial manufacturing lines and avant-garde pastry arts.
