Food | Gelatin | A part of everyday's life
Manufactures of gelatin rely on concentration monitoring to optimize their production process by reducing gelatin loss to a minimum and create top-quality powdered and sheet gelatin. Anton Paar’s L-Rix 4100 guarantees consistent quality by precisely tracking total dissolved solids throughout production.
Gelatin, a peptide produced by denaturation and partial hydrolyze of collagen plays an important role in everybody’s daily life. For example, in the food industry for the production of gummy candies or cream desserts, in the pharmaceutical field for capsule shells or cosmetic face masks and last but not least for technical usages like photographic films. These numerous applications highlight the importance of a reliable, highly effective manufacturing process of gelatin.
This application report describes how Anton Paar’s inline refractometer L-Rix 4100 is used to control the purification and thickening process in the gelatin production and ensure highest efficiency in the concentration process to get powdered or sheet gelatin.
