Gelatin as food coating material

Gelatin film is also called edible packaging film and biodegradable film. It has been proved that the gelatin film has good tensile strength, heat sealability, high gas barrier, oil barrier and moisture barrier performance. The biodegradable film synthesized by gelatin is mainly used for fruit preservation, meat preservation, food packaging or direct consumption.

Coating gelatin on the surface of food has the following advantages:

• When two different foods are combined, coating gelatin can inhibit the browning reaction.
• To prevent food from absorbing moisture and being rigid, coating edible gelatin on the surface of powdered and granular sugars can prevent sugars from absorbing moisture and avoid agglomeration.
• It can make the food surface shiny and improve the food quality.
• It can prevent food from spoilage and oxidation. The coating formed by gelatin with a concentration of 10% to 15% is suitable for ham, cured meat, sausage and cheese, etc., which can prevent food from spoiling and extend the preservation of food.
• Gelatin acts as a stabilizer to prevent the product from shrinking.
• Freshness preservation. Add gelatin solution to the sugar solution of soaking fruits and vegetables to form a film on the surface of fruits and vegetables, which can ensure the freshness and natural flavor of the food.

In food production, gelatin can also be used to make cakes and various icings. Due to the stability of gelatin, this sugar coating will not penetrate into the cake when the liquid phase increases even in hot weather. And it can also control the size of sugar crystals.

Gelatin can also be used to make colorful beads of colorful bead ice cream, sugar-free canned food, etc.

In food packaging, gelatin can be synthesized into gelatin film.
