Expanding application areas beyond traditional usage
While gelatin has long been used as a gelling agent and stabilizer in food products, its application scope has broadened in recent years. Traditionally, gelatin found widespread use in confectionery, dairy, and bakery goods due to properties like viscosity adjustment and textural appeal. However, sectors like cosmetics and personal care have emerged as new avenues of growth. Many skincare and hair care products today contain gelatin, either as a structuring agent or active ingredient. The protein-rich composition makes it suitable for anti-aging creams, masks and conditioning formulas seeking moisture retention and repair abilities. The biodegradable nature and film forming tendencies have also attracted the 3D printing industry. Gelatin derivatives are being trialed as bio-inks and hydrogels in niche applications of organ printing and tissue engineering. Even sectors like pharmaceutical capsules and nutraceuticals, though not new adopters, are propelling ongoing gelatin needs due to constant portfolio expansion and new product launches. The versatility of gelatin to impart unique handling properties across diverse formulations, without detrimental health effects, will continue bolstering its cross-industry demand going forward.
