Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. We’ve consulted with our supplier to provide you with a general overview of the process.
Gelatin is typically derived from the collagen found in animal hides, bones, and connective tissues through a series of extraction steps. While the specifics of the process may vary depending on the manufacturer and are often proprietary, the general process involves the following key steps:
1. The hides are first cleaned thoroughly to remove any fats, hair, and other unwanted materials.
2. The cleaned hides undergo a treatment process to break down the collagen into a gelatin solution.
3. The treated hides are then heated in water to extract the gelatin. This solution is filtered and concentrated to ensure purity.
4. The gelatin solution is further purified to remove impurities and then sterilized.
5. Finally, the gelatin is dried and processed into a usable form, such as powders.
