what is Gelatin made of?

Question

is it made of pork?

what items are made of Gelatin?

what religions can't eat Gelatin?

Answer 1

Gelatin is made from boilign the bones of beef (cows) and extracting the gelatin. This is why stocks made by boiling bones thicken upon refrigeration.

The relgigions that cannot eat it are usually those that keep kosher, b/c gelatin is derived from meat, and in a kosher diet you can't mix meat and dairy at the same meal. They could have it if other beef is served, but no dairy (cheese, cream, butter, etc.)

Hindus probably avoid it too.

Answer 2

Gelatin is made from a protein in collagen (the tissue inside of bones) extracted from animal bones, usually horse or pig, sometimes cow.
Some items made of gelatin are gummy candies (not all- check the label), some types of jelly beans like Jelly Bellies, i know Twizzlers have gelatin too. Some baking items using gelatin include some types of mousses, fondant (a sugary dough usually used to coat cakes instead of icing), and sometimes it is even used to coat medicine pill capsules.

Certain religious groups practice vegetarianism which means they don't believe in consuming any animals or animal products. Gelatin is condsidered an animal product, therefore, they will avoid anything that contains gelatin.

Some gelatin substitutes include pectin-- from fruits, and agar derived from seaweed. If you're using gelatin as a thickener, some types of starches can be used as a substitute. If you're using it as a gelling agent, your best bet would be pectin

Answer 3

Gelatin is made from bones and connective tissues of animals such as the domesticated cattle, pigs and horses.

Gelatin is made from the boiled bones, skins and tendons of animals (usually pork, thus muslim and vegetarian avoid gelatin). An alternative substance is called Agar-Agar, which is derived from seaweed. Another is made from the root of the Kuzu. Agar-Agar is sold in noodle-like strands, in powdered form, or in long blocks, and is usually white-ish in color.

Answer 7

Gelatin is made from collagen found in bones, like pigs and cows. People have collagen in their bones, too, but I wouldn't recommend using that to make jello.

Answer 8

The Almighty gave the list of CLEAN things that may be eaten to all Twelve Tribes of the nation of Israel. Not just to the Tribe of Judah.
No one should be eating swine flesh. NO ONE. The Almighty did not tell us to avoid this unclean flesh to deprive us - He did it for our HEALTH and WELL BEING. (After the death of King Solomon, Israel and Judah became two SEPARATE kingdoms: Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria and reigned two years over Israel in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. - 1 Kings 22:51)
