Gelatin for Dairy Applications

Our gelatin and collagen have key advantages in a variety of dairy applications, thus helping to achieve this goal. They help prevent syneresis, improve foaming and stabilize the porous structure. Small amounts of added gelatin will make it impossible for dairy lovers to resist the soft, creamy texture.

Gelatin for Dairy Applications

Gelatin is a natural protein derived from collagen, widely used in the dairy industry for its functional properties such as thickening, stabilizing, gelling, and improving texture and mouthfeel. It is a clean-label ingredient often preferred in dairy formulations for its natural origin and versatility.

Key Functions of Gelatin in Dairy Products:

  • Stabilization: Prevents syneresis (whey separation) in yogurt and other cultured products. Maintains a uniform texture throughout shelf life.
  • Texturizing: Enhances creaminess and gives a smooth mouthfeel to products like yogurt, cream cheese, and dairy desserts.Helps achieve a desirable consistency in low-fat or fat-reduced dairy products.
  • Gelling Agent: Forms stable, elastic gels in products like panna cotta, milk-based jellies, and dairy desserts.
  • Emulsification Support: Aids in emulsifying fat in products such as dairy drinks and mousse.
