Gelita collagen protein solution

Gelita has developed a number of ingredient concepts based on collagen proteins.

Fortigel is said to be scientifically proven to stimulate measurable regeneration of joint cartilage. The optimised collagen peptides that comprise Fortigel stimulate the cartilage cells to increase the production of both collagen and proteoglycans - the two major components of cartilage.

The Vitarcal concept comprises a holistic range of collagen proteins to replace fat and reduce the calorie density without compromising sensory profiles. With water binding and foaming capabilities, the product increases the volume of food in order to reduce the weight per serving. Its texturising properties allow it to mimic fat and, in so doing, the product can replace fat in many products.

Ice-cream at room temperature is possible thanks to Gelita RTE-ICE. It provides ice-cream coatings and popsicles with unique texture, quick gelling and stability at room temperature, preventing the coatings from melting, even after completely thawing.

Gelita RTE-Drink promotes a palatable sensation of gelled flakes in beverages and provides a gel-like structure to drinks. Drinkable gels are stable at ambient temperature, but can also be consumed chilled if desired.

Gelita RTE-Jelly is a specialty gelatine product for dry mix use in the preparation of shelf stable gelled desserts. The gelatine desserts deliver a good flavour release and offer unique texture characteristics.
