  • Patent number: 5877287
    Abstract: In a method for producing gelatin from collagen-containing raw material, the raw material is ground and mixed with water to form a slurry; the slurry is treated with an acid and heated in order to expose the collagen in the raw material; the pH and the temperature of the slurry are adjusted once more; the slurry is separated into a liquid portion and a solid residue; and the gelatin is recovered from the liquid portion.
