does any one know what gelatin is made of?

gelatin is a protein that is extracted from meat bones upon simmering in hot water. This is why homemade stock or gravies will often "gel" when cooled. There is no fat in gelatin, although meat drippings may contain some.

Gelatin is made from the collagen inside the connective tissue of animals. This comes mostly from the joints.
