High-Quality Bovine Gelatin for Food & Pharmaceutical Applications
Bovine Gelatin is a high-quality, natural protein derived from the collagen of bovine hides and bones. It is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries due to its excellent gelling, thickening, and stabilizing properties. Available in granules or powder form, food-grade bovine gelatin dissolves easily in hot water to form a clear, slightly viscous solution.
