Gelatine Production from Hydrolysis and Extraction Process

This report provides the cost structure of gelatine production using from the hydrolysis and extraction process. Raw materials (mammalian, poultry, and fish wastes) are treated with dilute acid or hot water to remove calcium, salts, and fat.  It is then processed for hydrolysis, where the body part is boiled in water using acids, alkalines, or enzymes, to obtain collagen. Using extractors, gelatine is extracted from this collagen, which is sterilized using flash heat. The extracted gelatine is finally refined, evaporated, and dried.
