Gelatin:
gelatin or animal jelly, foodstuff obtained from connective tissue (found in hoofs, bones, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage) of vertebrate animals by the action of boiling water or dilute acid. It is largely composed of denatured collagen, a protein particularly rich in the amino acids proline and hydroxyproline. The process of manufacture is a complex one that involves removing foreign substances, boiling the material (usually in distilled water in aluminum vessels to prevent contamination), and purifying it of all chemicals used in freeing the gelatin from the connective tissues. The final product in its purest form is brittle, transparent, colorless, tasteless, and odorless and has the distinguishing property of dissolving in hot water and congealing when cold. In contact with cold water it takes up from 5 to 10 times its own weight and swells to an elastic, transparent mass. Gelatin, being readily digested and absorbed, is a good food for children and invalids. It is important in fine cookery as a vehicle for other materials, in the form of jellied soups, molded meats and salads, and frozen desserts. Preparations of it are used in the home manufacture of jam, jellies, and preserves to ensure jellification of fruit juices. It is used in the drying and preserving of fruits and meats, in the glazing of coffee, and in the preparation of powdered milk and other powdered foods. Bakeries use it in making meringues, eclairs, and other delicacies. In confectionery making it is used as the basis of taffy, nougat, marshmallows, and fondant. Ice cream manufacture employs it to maintain a permanent emulsion of other ingredients and thus to give body to the finished product. In scientific processes gelatin is widely employed, being used in electrotyping, photography, waterproofing, and dyeing, and in coating microscopic slides. It is used as a culture medium for bacteriological research and also to make coatings for pills and capsules, for court plaster, and for some surgical dressings. It affords a base for ointments and pastes, such as toothpaste; it is an emulsifying agent useful in making liquid combinations and various sprays. no cuz gelatin is PIG fat a.k.a meat NO WAY TASHA.. it is made out of animal fat.. well it depends cuz some gelatins is made out of fruit and other is made out of pork and cow!! Apparntly not, but I do know that there is vegetarian gelatin on the market, you just need to read the labels and get to know which product is which. I cannot recommend a brand because I do not use gelatin very often - I think maybe once in the last 5 years! And I am not a veggie! Gelatin is NOT made of any kind of fat! It is made from bones, cartilage and tendons, mostly from cattle. It is a flesh product and is not veg.
There are no gelatins that come from fruit. That is pectin, totally different thing.
If you eat it, you are neither vegetarian OR vegan.
There are many alternatives, one being agar agar which can be found in prepackaged jello-type desserts at health food stores or packaged alone at Asian markets. if u are asking about gelatin from pigs fat then no, its a bi-product of an animal is why Yeah..you have to know what it is made out of.Most gelatin are made from animal fats. To answer your question technically, yes, a vegetarian could eat geletin. But then they would cease to be a vegetarian. NOOOOOOO. animal byproduct....i cant eat marshmellows :`( Gelatin is certainly not made of fat,it is the glutinous extract obtained from boiling materials like cow or pig bone ,tendons & skin ,parts that yeild a a high percentage of gelatinous extract,Naturally this food item is not permitted to vegetarians & also those who are allowed only 'halal' food .
Vegetarian sources for gelatin are agar agar & guar . No. Gelatin is a slaughter house by product. It is made from boiling bones. LARD is pig fat, not gelatin. If you think it's gross, then watch for lard in ingredients. IT's not used as much anymore, but some baked goods still try to slip it by you.
Gelatin is made from boiling down some substance in the hoof of the pig or other hoofed animal. It's pretty much just as gross, but not technicall the animal's FAT.
Both are unsuitable for anyone calling themselves vegetarian. no,why???
cuz gelatin is a substance made from a pigs hoof...and there fore vegetarians should not eat this stuff....but look for foods that have the kosher emblem on it! it still has some good stuff!
