Description

Description What is Gelatin? Gelatin is an odorless, tasteless thickening
agent that forms a gel when combined with liquid and heated. It is thermo-
reversible, which means that the gel liquefies when heated above its melting
point but regains a jelly-like consistency when cooled again. The melting
point of gelatin is close to the body temperature of the animal from which it
is made, which for mammals is around 99F/37C. The raw material for gelatin is
collagen, a naturally occurring pure protein, which is commercially produced
from bones, cartilage, tendons, skin and connective tissue of various animals.
Gelatin can also be extracted naturally in the home, for instance when boiling
bones to make a stock or aspic. Common examples of foods containing gelatin
are molded desserts, cold soups, trifles, aspic, marshmallows, and
confectioneries such as Peeps, gummy bears, candy corn, and jelly beans.
Gelatin may also be used as a stabilizer, thickener, or texturizer in foods
such as jams, yogurt, cream cheese, and margarine. It is often added to
reduced-fat foods to simulate the mouthfeel of fat and to create volume
without adding calories. Additionally, gelatin is used for the clarification
of juices and vinegar. Because gelatin is derived from animal hide and bone
there are problems with regard to kosher and Halal status and many vegetarians
also have objections to its use. In these cases, alternative choices include
agar agar, guar gum, xanthan gum, pectin and kudzu. Whats the Deal with Bloom?
The term bloom with regard to gelatin can be a little confusing because it may
be used in two different contexts. One refers to the process of softening the
gelatin in liquid prior to melting it. Recipes will often instruct you to
bloom the gelatin in cold water for 5-10 minutes, which means to soak it. You
can bloom gelatin in just about any liquid. But you should avoid the fresh
tropical fruit juices, such as papaya, kiwi, mango, and pineapple as they
contain an enzyme (bromelin) that will break down the gelatin. However,
pasteurizing kills the enzymes in these fruits, so canned or frozen juices are
fine. The other use of Bloom refers to the firmness of gelatin. A Bloom
Gelometer, named after inventor Oscar T. Bloom, is used in a controlled
process to measure the rigidity of a gelatin film. The measurement is called
the Bloom Strength. A higher number indicates a stiffer product. Gelatin used
in food usually runs from 125 Bloom to 250 Bloom. There are several different
grades of sheet gelatin. The most popular are Silver grade (160 Bloom) and
Gold grade (190-220 Bloom). Typically the higher the Bloom, the more you can
expect to pay. Be aware that freezing gelatin will cause syneresis upon
thawing. This is the disintegration of the gel, which is accompanied by the
weeping of liquid from it. Why Buy Gelatin Powder from Modernist Pantry? Our
