Gelatin production steps
-
-
① Washing and degreasing
Classify, macerate and chop the collagen-rich raw material such as fresh skin or dry skin. The fat is scraped away by machine and the chopped skin is degreased and washed by hot water.
-
② Pretreatment
Raw material is soaked in dilute hydrochloric acid, or mixture of lime and sodium hydroxide. They will be partially hydrolyzed and should be washed and neutralized after pre-treatment.
-
③ Extraction
Stepwise heating method is use to extract gelatin. The gelatin Bloom value or gel strength is related to temperature, heating time, solution pH scale. The higher temperature, longer time, and lower pH, the less gel strength will be; and vice versa.
-
④ Filtration
In order to reduce the impurities in gelatin solution, it should be filtered by cellulose filter and diatomaceous earth. Metal ions are removed by ion exchanger.
-
⑤ Evaporation and Sterilization
After the gelatin solution is filtered by membrane to increase its concentration, the excess water is removed by vacuum evaporator without degenerating the gelatin. The 140℃ steam is used to sterilize concentrated solution in 4s.
-
⑥ Drying and grinding
After gelatin has solidified, it is squeezed into strips and chopped, then fed into a dryer. The dry gelatin is ground into different sizes depending on your requirements.
-
⑦ Blending and package
Each batch of gelatin has different parameters. In order to meet the customer's needs, it is necessary to evenly mix them in a certain ratio. It is packed in a waterproof bag and stored in the cool and dry place.
