Gelatin Powder Bloom
Whatsapp Order
Gelatin Powder Bloom is a high-quality, partially hydrolyzed collagen protein derived primarily from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals such as pigs and cows. The “180 Bloom” rating indicates its gel strength, meaning it forms a firm gel, making it suitable for various industrial, food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. Gelatin is a natural biopolymer, pale yellow to off-white in color, odorless, and tasteless. It is widely used due to its excellent gelling, film-forming, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties. The powder form offers ease of handling, storage, and precise dosing.

Calcium Propionate
Calcium Propionate is the calcium salt of propionic acid, appearing as a white, crystalline powder or granules with a slightly salty taste and low odor. It is highly soluble in water and used primarily as a food preservative and mold inhibitor. Calcium Propionate inhibits the growth of mold, bacteria, and fungi, making it especially valuable in baked goods, dairy products, and animal feed to extend shelf life and prevent spoilage. It also finds application in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics as a preservative and antimicrobial agent.
Calcium Saccharin
Calcium Saccharin is the calcium salt form of saccharin, a synthetic sweetener. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a sweet taste that is several hundred times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). Calcium Saccharin is water-soluble and widely used as a non-nutritive sweetener in food and beverage products, pharmaceuticals, and oral care formulations. Due to its stability under heat and acidic conditions, it is ideal for baked goods and beverages. It serves as a sugar substitute for diabetic and calorie-restricted diets and is often used in combination with other sweeteners to improve taste profiles.
Carbocisteine AJI 92
Carbocisteine AJI 92 is a high-purity pharmaceutical-grade amino acid derivative, chemically known as S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine.
