'''Gelatine''' (also '''gelatin''', from French gélatine) is a translucent, colourless, brittle, nearly tasteless solid substance, extracted from the collagen inside animals' skin and [[bones]]. It has been commonly used as a gelling agent in food, pharmaceutical, photography, and cosmetic manufacturing. Substances containing gelatin or functioning in a similar way are called gelatinous. Gelatin is an irreversibly hydrolyzed form of collagen. Gelatin is classified as a foodstuff and has E441 E number.It is in almost every gummy we eat today as well as other things, such as marshmallows, and skittles.<br />
<br />
Household gelatine comes in the form of sheets, granules, or powder. Instant types can be added to the food as they are; others need to be soaked in water beforehand.<br />
<br />
Probably best known as a gelling agent in cooking, different types and grades of gelatin are used in a wide range of food and non-food products:<br />
<br />
Common examples of foods that contain gelatine are gelatin desserts, trifles, [[aspic]], [[marshmallows]], and confectioneries such as Peeps and gummy bears. Gelatine may be used as a stabilizer, thickener, or texturizer in foods such as ice cream, jams, [[yogurt]], [[cream cheese]], and [[margarine]]; it is used, as well, in fat-reduced foods to simulate the mouthfeel of fat and to create volume without adding calories.<br />
<br />
Gelatine is used for the clarification of juices, such as [[apple]] juice, and of [[vinegar]]. [[Isinglass]], from the swim bladders of fish, is still in use as a fining agent for [[wine]] and [[beer]]. Beside hartshorn jelly, from deer antlers (hence the name "hartshorn"), [[isinglass]] was one of the oldest sources of gelatine.<br />
<br />
Gelatine is also one of the additives that can be used in [[Molecular gastronomy|molecular gastronomy]] for foams and gels.<br />
<br />
===Substitutes===<br />
[[Agar]] can be used as a vegetarian substitute for gelatine.<br />
