Gelatin is a translucent, colorless, flavorless food ingredient that is derived from collagen, which is obtained from the connective tissues of animals, such as skin and bones. It is commonly used as a gelling agent in food products, desserts, jellies, and candies, as well as in other applications like pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Gelatin has the ability to thicken and stabilize mixtures when dissolved in hot water and then cooled.
