- A product that many housewives love to use in preparing delicious homemade dishes is used and benefits not only as an excellent culinary ingredient. It has been successfully used for a long time in medicine, cosmetology, photography, printing, the production of sports equipment, etc.
Wonderful gelatin - everywhere needed
What is gelatin? Substance derived from the connective and bone tissue of animals, and almost 90% consisting of collagen - natural animal protein. “Gelatus” in Latin means “frozen” or “frozen”; pure gelatin has no taste and smell, and it is this property that makes it a versatile material - most often gelatin is used in industry.
The food industry turns to gelatin almost constantly, therefore different types of gelatin, quickly or slowly soluble, are produced. Gelatin is a part of canned food, sauces, jellies, ice cream, desserts, cakes and other sweets - mousses, sweets, marmalade, marshmallow; it is used in the production of beverages, to lighten them -, etc.
Technical gelatin is used in the manufacture of fabrics and paper - for example, it is part of the paper for printing money.
Using gelatin, it is possible at home perfectly: masks with it improve blood circulation and metabolic processes in the skin, smooth and reduce pigmentation. With gelatin, glycerin, water and loved ones they prepare an excellent home rejuvenating cream, which is not inferior in efficiency to many well-known cosmetic brands. And they also make hot, very useful for him and figures.
The popularity of a product is explained by its understandability for each member of society. This is a kind of established culture of effective spending time and the pleasure of eating. This culture significantly influences human perception. Which leads to disastrous moral, physical and energy consequences in the future.
In each grocery store near the cashier there are bags of chewing marmalade, most often these are “fruit bears” or “worms”.
This delicacy was invented in Germany at the beginning of the last century. What is included in it except for paint and flavoring?
The main component is gelatin. What is gelatin?
This food component is obtained by long-term boiling of hides, bones and cartilages of cattle ...
Gelatin benefit and harm - it is quite subtle concepts. This is primarily due to what it is made of.
The article will talk about animal gelatin.
Let's start with the fact that now this substance is used for two main purposes:
- or in the food industry,
- or it is used for industrial purposes (for example, for the production of films, etc.)
In the food industry it is used as an additive to sweets. It can, for example, be added to marmalade and can also be added to marshmallow and other similar delicacies.
But, if you look at the essence, the same marshmallow and the same marmalade can be safely made without animal gelatin. But why does he do harm, and not benefit? Because you need to understand: what is it made of?
What is gelatin made of
If everyone knew and understood for themselves what gelatin is made of, it would not be as widespread as we see it now. To put it bluntly, gelatin is made from animal parts. If to say even more specifically, then go to the course:
- animal skin (often with a hairline),
- their internal organs,
- their bones,
- other parts.
Traditionally gelatin is prepared using cattle bones. As a result of their processing, a substance is obtained that has neither smell nor taste. True, some manufacturers use not only bones. Skins, hooves and tendons of pigs, cows, and sometimes fish parts are also sent for processing. In fact, it is important to obtain animal protein, which can be used to create a gelatinous mass or as a thickener.
In fact, if we talk about food industry - you can safely do without animal gelatin. If we talk about the production of not only food, but some other materials, then today's technologies also make it possible not to use this substance.
Some people claim that facials using this component are beneficial and rejuvenating for the skin. You do not hate to make yourself a mask on the face, which consist of parts of animals ?? Are there no other masks that benefit the skin?
If you already want your skin to look good - eat foods containing vitamin E. Well, and if you already want to improve the condition of the skin - eat foods containing iron.
Gelatin Composition
Some are looking for where you can read about the composition of gelatin only in order to find out what kind of minerals there are, how much protein there is, etc. Why do you need it if the harm is obvious? Now you already know the whole truth of what this substance is.
If you are an intelligent person, you will no longer use it. Especially when it comes to its use in the preparation of some delicacies. Many people use this “indispensable” ingredient in cooking halva, cakes, and other desserts.
Quote:
"This means that the person who sacrificed it will have to answer for the death of the animal, just as the killer of the person has to answer for his act. When animals are slaughtered in a slaughterhouse, six people are responsible for this killing. The one who gives permission to kill, the one who commits it, the one who helps the killer, the one who buys the meat, the one who cooks this meat, and the one who eats it - they are all considered accomplices in the murder."
Srimad-Bhagavatam
As we understood, the gelatin that is on sale today is made from animals that died in the slaughterhouse. Accordingly, as follows from the scriptures, adding it to food - you become on the same level as the one who cut the animal's throat. And excuses are impossible here!
This means that it is YOU who will have to bear responsibility for this in the future.
Remember how in the second world the Nazis tore off the skin of people, and then made her gloves, raincoats and other items of clothing, as well as the interior. Do you think this is by chance? I want to assure you that the law of karma simply works.
Now, transferring it to your life, it is safe to say that if you use other creatures' bodies in some form, the same thing should happen to you. By the way, not necessarily in this life ...
Additives and dyes
So that the treats have a seductive smell and beautiful view flavors and colorants and food additives are generously added to food, and preservatives are preserved for a long shelf life. For example, as they say in the video "about the benefits of chewing marmalade": "Chewing marmalade should be brilliant in appearance and can be stored for up to 1 year" all this says about quality?
Manufacturers never specify a specific composition, i.e. They do not decipher what exactly each component is made of. Since the manufacturer needs to sell his product at a profitable rate, he most often uses cheap “material” for the composition. . They are not interested in the health of consumers, especially since they do not bear any responsibility. Is it possible to prove that this sweetness brought harm? But the fact has long been known that the more we use chemicals in products, the greater the risk of cancer, and the possible mutation in subsequent generations.
Every day we use different products (marmalade is not the only one with such * composition - a surprise *), then, to put it simply, we will all work on tablets)))
You read what is written on the package when selling in a store, and besides, you will never know the real composition if you did not prepare it yourself.
Secondary oil refining includes changing the structure of its components - hydrocarbons. She gives the raw material from which they receive:
synthetic rubbers and rubbers;
synthetic fabrics;
plastics;
polymer films (polyethylene, polypropylene);
detergents;
solvents, paints and varnishes;
colorants;
fertilizers;
toxic chemicals;
wax
Please pay attention to the item - dyes, without them, no marmalade is produced. (if it is not homemade, although food dyes from the store are often used here, with an incomprehensible composition).
Various flavor enhancers are often added to fast foods, such as the infamous monosodium glutamate, which excites the organs of smell and taste. After such a meal, the other food seems tasteless. In addition, it has been scientifically proven that monosodium glutamate can cause addiction, especially in children.
It turns out a vicious circle, we refuse to eat homemade food, getting used to unhealthy diet, further polluting your mind.

Gelatin. Many dishes of our kitchen is done with its use. Without gelatin does not turn out aspic, jelly, marmalade. Gelatin is even added to chewing gum, into the shell of tablets, into photographic film. Gelatin contains many vitamins, minerals and proteins that are useful and necessary for our body.
To know from what and how gelatin is made will be important and interesting not only to housekeepers, but also just interested in people. Just know about how the process of production of gelatin, it will be useful to friends of animals - vegetarians, vegans, Frutorians.
To begin with, let’s deal with what it really is - gelatin. Gelatin is a hard, loose, translucent, possibly yellowish grains. They are quite small. Good gelatin should not have color - it should be transparent, the smell - the presence of foreign odors - a sign of poor processing, should not change its properties in the air. Gelatin itself is a collagen protein.
So, we got to the main point. What is gelatin made from? Usually gelatin is made from bones, ligaments, skin, cartilage. To do this, use animals such as: pig, cow, goat, horse. It rarely happens that gelatin is made from the bones of fish and poultry (cases are quite rare, and usually the bones of these animals are simply added to the total mass of other bones that are more common in the production of gelatin). A method of making gelatin in production is approximately as follows: the collagen contained in the raw material is broken down using alkaline and acid-catalyst hydrolysis until it can be extracted with water. Purified and dried after the extraction process the product is edible gelatin. In general, if we talk about the production of gelatin in a simple way, without chemical terms and explanations, the production process looks like this: the collagen contained in bones is broken down, using acid for this. This is done until this protein becomes the same that can be removed from the rest of the raw materials with water. After that, gelatin is purified from impurities that remained in the production process and dried.
And also, I would like to tell you about the vegetable analogue of gelatin - agar-agar. The first to use this product in Malaysia. It was there they noticed that if you boil and dry the alga of a certain type - brown or red alga, you get a rather interesting substance, its properties are the same as gelatin. Agar-agar in contrast to gelatin is a polysaccharide, mainly consisting of esters of calcium sulfate, sodium galactose. When using agar-agar jelly can be made soft and tender, like candies "Bird's milk", and can be made firm and crunchy. Gelling agar-agar has the ability even at very small ratios of agar-agar to liquid. The largest ratio at which the process of gelling begins is one part of the agar-agar to the trusts of the water.
Now you know from what and how gelatin is made, and even from what and how its vegetable analogue is made - agar-agar. And now you have the opportunity to choose between these two beautiful products.
Sometimes it's easier not to know the truth and enjoy your delusions. You, most likely, do not go to find out what gelatin is, what this product is made of and what, by and large, is included in its composition. But if truth is more important for the reader and he does not suffer from innate scrupulousness, it may be worth finding out the truth.
How to feed all the hungry?
Hunger problem mankind has always worried:
- Centuries and even millennia ago, people died of hunger.
- Land suitable for cultivation has always been worth its weight in gold.
- The low level of technology did not allow to save most of the harvest.
- The constant raids of warlike neighbors have killed the most able-bodied members of the community.
- Ruin and robbery were not considered something wild and unprecedented.
- Only one dry and lean year could lead to the death of the entire settlement.
Over the years, conditions have changed, and humanity has strengthened its position in the struggle with nature and its own kind. But a scientific breakthrough and a real revolution in this area prompted scientists to look for a means to fight hunger, synthesis of a universal nutrient mixture.
Such food had to meet several parameters:
- Low cost.
- Ease of production.
- Permanent availability of ingredients.
- Enough high calorie.
- The content of all necessary vitamins and elements.
As we can see, the problem could not be handled. But some of the results of the search still gave, the success can be attributed to gelatin synthesis.
The benefits of gelatin for the body
Gelatin contains huge amount of protein, its mass fraction exceeds 80%. This can boast little what product, and here - cheap animal protein.
Mainly with gelatin, we get collagen, which is involved in the construction of many human tissues, including:
- Skin
- Nail art
- Hair.
- Ligaments and tendons.
- Joints
The main benefit of jelly-like substance is precisely the content of this protein. By ingesting food into the body, it compensates for natural deficiency, which contributes to:
- Skin rejuvenation.
- Acceleration of the formation of the nail plate.
- Reduce hair breakage, increase their growth.
- The disappearance of pain in the joints.
Statements about the usefulness of gelatin come from lovers of traditional medicine. But doctors as a medicine or prophylactic gelatin so far no one is prescribed.
But this does not mean that its use for a long time will not lead to any positive changes and will be absolutely meaningless. Traditional medicine has shown that all such recipes have a rationale and really effective, for a long distance.
Another thing is how long the distance should be and how strong the effect is. Not always the ratio of these indicators makes it possible to use the advice of ancestors.
How to take gelatin for joints?
Joint problems? Then there are two ways to improve your well-being with gelatin:
For any option chosen, the main thing is duration of treatment. If you use gelatin for less than one and a half weeks, there will be no positive effect from this. Collagen simply does not have time to accumulate in the body in proper quantities, so that at least some significant changes occur. But with a systematic effect, improvement is quite real.
Perhaps you should consult with your doctor about your illness, if you already receive some kind of therapy. Self-medication may “smear” the clinical picture and confuse the attending physician.
Gelatin and activated carbon from black spots
Not a single person has ever been born who would not have any problems with the skin of the face. And if acne and rash are pronounced defects, then black dots are the most annoying. It seems to be nothing like this, but the appearance of these minor "flaws" still spoil.
You can get rid of them by visiting the beauty parlor, just 15 minutes and not the most painful procedure. And you can try to do everything yourself, at home, by overlay gelatinous mask.
Below is a step-by-step recipe:
- Gelatin is mixed with milk.
- Use a tablespoon of each component.
- The mixture is heated.
- Activated charcoal, previously crushed into powder, is added to the warm solution.
- Not allowing the future mask to cool down, it is placed in a microwave and heated again.
- After cooling to body temperature, the substance can be applied to the face.
Gelatin in this "union" gives shape and provides an elastic base. In the role of "active ingredient" is activated carbon, which absorbs everything that has accumulated in the pores of the skin.
What is gelatin made from?
About composition of gelatin the intrigue remains, and in this part we will tell about it. Upon careful reading, some assumptions regarding the high levels of animal protein could already have arisen. Gelatin get by extracting protein from cattle. Or rather - from skins, bones and hoofs.
For vegetarians, this would be a real disappointment, but animal protein was used to create all of these amazingly delicious jelly bears. Cartilage and bone are being processed, so it’s difficult to speak about any quality here. On the other hand, the epidemiological situation in the country is monitored, so that there can be no doubt that there are no infections.
Initially, they wanted to use gelatin to solve the problem of feeding the homeless. Let not the most useful, but cheap and easily received food could save tramp from the danger of starvation. But somehow it did not work.
But literally a hundred years ago, someone guessed to add dyes and flavors to gelatin, and then use it to create marmalade. Since then, the matter has moved from the "dead center" and many have even forgotten, from what is actually made gelatinous substance.
If the information about what gelatin is, what it is made of and for whom the product was originally intended, has not discouraged the enjoyment marmalade bears - it means you have a strong psyche. But if to judge so, we are not sure about the composition of every second product in the fridge.
Gelatin production video
In this video, technologist Elena Nechaeva will tell you what gelatin is usually made of, and how the first line in Russia for the production of gelatin from plant material instead of animal was launched in Tomsk:
