Step 1: Clean the raw materials

The first stage of gelatin production is obtaining high-quality ingredients. These materials, be it fish, cattle, or other bov For gelatin from beef ine, contain connective tissues, bones, and skin.

They are thoroughly cleaned to remove residual meat, fat, or contaminants.Fish scales and skins are thoroughly washed to ensure nothing is left behind.Using simple, clean ingredients ensures the resultant gelatin is free from contaminants or impuritiesand safe for food, personal care, and medicinal uses.

Step 2 - Collagen Extraction via Boiling

After raw materials are cleaned, collagen is extracted by boiling.

For gelatin from beef, Clean beef bones and hides are cooked for hours under precisely controlled conditions to make gelatin from beef.

To avoid denaturing raw collagen, fish skin and scales are measured in hot water for gelatin from fish production.

The heat hydrolyses the collagen strands, forming smaller units that dissolve within the water they soak in,creating a gelatin-rich solution.

Clarification and Concentration in Liquid Collagen Production

The first step in refining liquid collagenis clarification. It is a process designed to remove any small particulates or impurities that could affect the purity and consistency of the final product.

Step 3 - Filtering and Purification

Filtration Process

The liquid collagen is then passed through a series of fine mesh filters or microfilters that trap microparticles but allow thepure collagen to pass.

This ensures that thefinal liquid is uniform, smooth, and contaminant-free.

After boiling, the collagen solution is filtered away from the liquid, leaving the solids (which could contain skin or boneremnants) behind. It is filtered several times to remove impurities and ensure clarity.

Lipids and osteo residuals are eliminated in gelatin bovine, resulting in a clean and sleek product. Filtered gelatin from fish iseven more translucent and delicate.

Step 4 - Concentration of Liquid Collagen

During concentration procedures, the solubilized liquid collagen is concentrated, increasing its density to allow it to be converted into itsfinal form (solid form - powder or sheets, etc.). The keyto the success of these technologies is controllably removing water from the liquid that has been filtered.

Then we gradually heat the collagen solution until all the water evaporates and itis thick. At thisstage, the watery substance has become thick and gelatinous.

Step 5 - Freeze-Drying (Lyophilization)

The concentratedgelatin is cooled and moulded into a gelatin-like block or sheet. One ofthe methods used is lyophilization or freeze-drying. Rapidly lowering the temperature to below zero, the collagen liquid undergoes sublimation.

Step 6 - Final Processing

Dry gelatin sheets can be ground into powder or granules, depending on their intended use for the final product. And what was the outcome? Gelatin bovine creates firm gummy bears,
