It’s the first of its kind to be available for mass manufacturing and product development.” “Geliko has met the strict standards of kosher OU certification, making its kosher gelatin an industry breakthrough. However, Geliko’s gelatin from whole cattle hides (rather than trimmings – the source of most ‘standard’ beef gelatin) has been certified kosher, as the cows in question have been slaughtered and certified as kosher and their hides can be traced throughout the supply chain, said Rubin. Gelatin - a protein found in animal connective tissue – is mostly derived from pig skin, but can also be sourced from fish and cattle hides/bones, and is not considered kosher. The market potential was therefore huge, because many firms looking to get into this area of the market could now do so, while those already making them but using gelatin substitutes could reformulate and keep their kosher credentials, he said. Others have just avoided making gummi bears, marshmallows or certain desserts altogether.” “A lot of companies have used gums and starches instead of gelatin but have found they don’t deliver the same mouthfeel or functionality.
Rubin, who was speaking to at the IFT show, added: “ Food manufacturers are still surprised when we tell them kosher gelatin is available in industrial quantities. Indeed, many food manufacturers were still unaware that they could buy kosher gelatin, even though it has been on the market for five years, said Zach Rubin from Geliko, which has teamed up with gelatin giant Gelita to promote its kosher gelatin.
