what is gelatin made out of?

Question

And how much is there in a regular pack of JELLO

Answer 1

Made out of some type of animal fat

Answer 2

Gelatin is a protein product produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from skin, bones, cartilage, ligaments, etc. The natural molecular bonds between individual collagen strands are broken down into a form that rearranges more easily. Gelatin melts when heated and solidifies when cooled again. Together with water it forms a semi-solid colloidal gel.

Answer 3

Cow hides are left to ferment or rot, then the insides of the hides are scraped off and used to make gelatin. This is the real truth. I saw it on a show once, I think it was THE STRAIGHT DOPE or something like that.

Answer 4

On a commercial scale, gelatin is made from by-products of the meat and leather industry, mainly pork skins, pork and cattle bones, or split cattle hides. Contrary to popular belief, horns and hooves are not commonly used.
