Gelatin can be made from a number of substances. Are you sure you want to know?
1) extracted from animal tissue, "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. Recently, by-products of the fishery industry began to be considered as raw material for gelatin production because they eliminate most of the religious obstacles surrounding gelatin consumption"
2) jelly-like substances like agar and carrageenan gum, can also be made from various seaweeds
3) pectin in fruits causes jams and jellies to "gel"
