The function of edible gelatin

Introduction: what's the function of eating gelatin? The main function of using gelatin is to thicken, solidify and increase the toughness It can make the food look more viscous, and has certain elasticity It will taste better At present, in the process of food processing, some food additives will be added, and edible gelatin is one of the more common food additives Most industrial foods will be added with some gelatin The correct addition of gelatin can play the role of fixation, toughness and thickening Today, I went to the small edition of Baibai safety net to introduce the function of edible gelatin in detail I hope you can understand edible gelatin more through the following explanation Gelatin is the hydrolysate of collagen It is a high protein without fat and cholesterol It is a natural nutritious food thickener After eating, it will neither make people fat, nor lead to physical decline Gelatin is also a powerful protective colloid with strong emulsifying power It can inhibit the coagulation of milk, soybean milk and other proteins caused by gastric acid after entering the stomach, which is conducive to food digestion Gelatin can be dissolved in hot water and form a thermo reversible gel It has excellent physical properties, such as freezing force, affinity, high dispersion, low viscosity, dispersion stability and water holding capacity Therefore, gelatin is an important food additive, such as gel and stabilizer Thickener, foaming agent Emulsifier, dispersant and clarifier are widely used For example: the application of gelatin in candy, gelatin can control the size of sugar crystal and prevent the relative separation of oil and water in syrup As an emulsifier, adhesive used in candy manufacturing can reduce brittleness, facilitate the forming and cutting, so as to prevent the crushing of various types of candy and improve the yield To sum up, edible gelatin occupies a large position in all kinds of food, and edible gelatin includes many components, which are beneficial to the body The main component is protein We often eat jellies, and some edible gelatin will be added Although edible gelatin has certain advantages, it can not be abused or blindly selected To learn more about food additives and food safety, you can directly log in to Baibai safety net Editor in charge: he xianrob
