Pork gelatin is a protein derived from collagen obtained from boiling pig skin, tendons, ligaments, and/or bones. It is a translucent, colorless, brittle (when dry), flavorless solid substance. It is a form of irreversibly hydrolyzed collagen. As a food ingredient, pork gelatin is valued for its gelling, thickening, texturizing, and binding properties. It is commonly used in a wide array of food products, including desserts like jelly, gummy candies, marshmallows, and puddings. It can also be found in processed meats, certain dairy products, and as a stabilizer in some beverages. Beyond the food industry, pork gelatin also finds applications in pharmaceuticals, photography, and cosmetics.
