What makes a good bovine gelatin supplier?

Boom gelatin is extracted from bovine hides/bones or fish scales/skins and is a high molecular weight protein composed of 18 amino acids. 

Gelatin can absorb 5-10 times of water and if heated Iit enters a sol state. After cooling, it enters a gel state. Because of its special properties, Gelatin is used in many foods industries.

Below are some criteria for selecting a good Bovine Hide Gelatin supplier.

• Good Product Performance:All quality indicators of Bovine Gelatin meet or exceed industry standards, including gel strength (Bloom value), viscosity, transparency, and moisture content. For instance, the Bloom value of food-grade bovine gelatin may range from 150 to 260, which can meet the needs of different application scenarios.

II. Strong Production Capacity and Supply Stability
