  Gelatin is a flavorless solid substance along with translucent colorless and brittle than present in dry form. Gelatin (mixture of peptide) is produced by hydrolysis of collagen and is an important part of extracellular matrix and provides mechanical protection to the tissues. Collagen is extracted from the different parts of animal such as skin, bones and connective tissues and also is extracted from different animals like cattle, chicken, pigs and fishes. Collagen is a triple helix molecule comprised of three Alpha helix of glycine and X-Y in which X and Y is mostly Proline and hydroxyproline, respectively. Collagen is rapidly used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, tissues engineering construction and most mostly used in dressing system. Gelatin which is obtained from hydrolysis is of two types, type of gelatin ‘a’ and type of gelatin ’b’ wit.. Read More»
