What You Need to Know About Gelatin Additives for Hard Capsules
READ MORE >
Hydrolyzed porcine gelatin is a collagen-derived peptide product, sourced from porcine raw materials and processed via hydrolysis to create smaller, water-soluble peptides. This pork-derived hydrolyzed gelatin offers exceptional cold-water solubility, enhanced bioavailability, and stability, making it ideal for applications where traditional gelatin's heat-dependent gelling is unsuitable. It retains collagen's nutritional benefits while delivering functional advantages in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries, particularly in liquid or low-heat formulations.
Cold-Water Solubility: Dissolves instantly in cold liquids (no heat required), perfect for beverages, instant supplements, and ready-to-use products.
Low Molecular Weight (MW): Ranges from 500–5,000 Da (vs. 10,000–100,000 Da for unhydrolyzed gelatin), ensuring rapid absorption in nutraceuticals and seamless integration into liquid-based formulas.
pH Stability: Functions effectively in acidic (e.g., fruit juices) and basic environments (e.g., pharmaceutical coatings), maintaining consistency across diverse applications.
Nutritional Profile: Rich in essential amino acids (proline, glycine, hydroxyproline), supporting collagen synthesis in skincare, sports nutrition, and dietary supplements.
Food & Beverage:
Beverages: Added to protein shakes, collagen-infused drinks, and functional waters for solubility and nutritional enhancement.
Supplements: Used in powdered mixes (e.g., meal replacements, collagen supplements) for easy dissolution and bioavailability.
Confectionery: Enhances texture in gummies, chews, and instant desserts without heat-induced gelling.
Pharmaceuticals:
Capsule Formulations: Improves solubility of drug compounds in liquid-filled capsules, ensuring consistent dosing.
Nutraceuticals: Delivers bioavailable collagen peptides in tablets, powders, and liquids for health-conscious consumers.
Cosmetics:
Skincare: Integrates into serums, creams, and masks for hydration, collagen support, and lightweight texture (no sticky residue).
Haircare: Used in conditioners and treatments for moisture retention, strength, and manageability.
Precision Hydrolysis: Controlled processing ensures consistent peptide size, MW, and solubility, meeting strict quality standards (e.g., USP, EP for pharma-grade applications).
Purity & Safety: ISO 22000-certified, free from contaminants, and tested for microbial safety, heavy metals, and allergens, ensuring consumer trust.
Customizable Grades: Available in varying peptide sizes (e.g., low MW for rapid absorption, medium MW for stability) to match specific formulation needs (e.g., beverage vs. skincare).
Sustainable Sourcing: Ethically derived from porcine by-products, reducing waste and aligning with circular economy practices.
It undergoes hydrolysis, resulting in cold-water solubility (no gelling) and smaller peptides, vs. regular gelatin (requires heat, forms gels).
No (porcine-derived), but explore our plant-based alternatives (e.g., hydrolyzed pea protein, marine collagen peptides) for vegan formulations.
No (porcine is non-halal/non-kosher), but refer to our halal/kosher hydrolyzed bovine gelatin for religious-compliant options.
