Gelatin Powder 180 Bloom
Whatsapp Order
Gelatin Powder 180 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.
