bovine gelatin | Beef Gelatin：Cost-effective Gelatin Used In Halal Food
Beef gelatin is a powdered tonic made mainly from cow hide (the natural, unbleached skin and hair of cattle). It comes specifically from bovine collagen, another structural protein found in the human body that is crucial to overall health in many ways. Consider that it helps form our joints, ligaments, skin, bones, the lining of the gastrointestinal tract and so on.
Beef gelatin is not only a great source of protein, it can also be used as a thickener in cooking or baking. It is considered a "thickener" and a "stabilizer" in recipes because of the way it absorbs liquids and forms gel or jelly consistency, such as in fudge, jams, jellies, puddings and marshmallows.
What is beef gelatin?
Gelatin is defined as "a water-soluble protein that is almost colorless and odorless. Made from collagen, can be used in food preparation, is the base of jelly, photographic process and glue."
If you're making bone broth at home, you'll notice that gelatin is the "gelatinous" component of animal parts that aren't normally consumed today, including skin, bone marrow, and tendons.
Beef gelatin becomes "elastic" and jelly-like when mixed with hot liquid. It's almost tasteless, which means it can be used in a variety of recipes.
It works slightly differently from collagen powder because it needs to dissolve in hot water or other hot liquids, such as coffee.
Beef gelatin and pig skin gelatin
Beef gelatin powder supplements don't actually have any beef, but they are called beef gelatin. Because they come from collagen found in cows.
Beef gelatin can be used in halal products, pig skin gelatin is not; Beef gelatin has a higher cost than pig gelatin under the same dynamic conditions.
Advantage
- High absorption protein
Gelatin is derived from collagen, the most abundant protein in the body. Collagen and gelatin contribute to the connective tissue infrastructure that is everywhere.
Regular consumption of these proteins helps repair and care for the intestines, skin, hair, tendons, cartilage, bones and joints.
- Helps joint health
The amino acids in gelatin and collagen act as internal "glue" by forming connective tissue (including joints, cartilage and ligaments) that holds the body together. Unfortunately, the body's natural collagen production slows down as we age, which is why it's recommended to get more collagen and gelatin to help keep joints and cartilage healthy.
- Promote gut health
Collagen and gelatin help reduce inflammation in the gut and strengthen the digestive barrier, helping to optimize gut health.
