What is powdered bovine gelatin?
Gelatin is a natural protein obtained by hydrolysis of the collagen present in animal skin and bones. In our case, it is exclusively of bovine origin, guaranteeing clear traceability and a precise functional profile. It comes in the form of a fine, light-beige, perfectly homogeneous powder, which keeps well and can be dosed with great precision.
Its particularity lies in its gelling power of 200 Bloom, which corresponds to the standard strength used in most traditional recipes. It therefore offers direct equivalence with conventional gelatin sheets, while enabling more flexible and precise dosing, essential in professional preparations.
The benefits of gelatin powder
Unlike foil, powdered gelatin has a number of advantages that make it a preferred ingredient in pastry and confectionery laboratories:
Fast, even hydration: simply disperse in cold water at 5 to 6 times its weight, then heat slightly to dissolve.
Better dosage control: gelatin powder can be weighed precisely to the gram, so textures can be adjusted as required.
Prolonged shelf life: stored properly, it keeps longer than the leaf version, with no change in potency.
Consistent results: stable texture, even grip, perfect transparency.
Versatile: suitable for a multitude of cold or warm, sweet or savoury preparations.
