Abstract: An improved cold water soluble gelatin and a process of preparing it. The improved cold water soluble gelatin is prepared by drying an aqueous solution containing water, gelatin, a hydrolyzed corn starch having a dextrose equivalent of 20-36 (preferably of the order of 26), an acid and amount of surface-active agent effective to increase dispersibility in the final product. An optional, but preferred, feature comprises holding the aqueous solution at an elevated temperature in the range for a specified period prior to the drying step, the acid being incorporated in the solution either before or after the holding period and prior to the drying step.The cold water soluble gelatins are characterized by improved solubility and ease of dispersion in water as well as by the clarity of the gels produced therefrom.

Abstract: An improved cold water soluble gelatin and a process of preparing it. The improved cold water soluble gelatin is prepared by drying an aqueous solution containing water, gelatin, maltodextrin having a dextrose equivalent of about 5 to about 20, an acid and an amount of surface-active agent effective to increase dispersibility in the final product. An optional, but preferred, feature comprises holding the aqueous solution at an elevated temperature for a specified period prior to the drying step. The cold water soluble gelatins are characterized by improved solubility and ease of dispersion in water as well as by the clarity of the gels produced therefrom.

Abstract: An improved cold water soluble gelatin and a process of preparing it. The improved cold water soluble gelatin is prepared by a process which includes the steps of preparing an aqueous solution containing water, gelatin and sugar selected from corn syrup solids, maltodextrin, and mixtures thereof, maintaining the solution so prepared at at least one temperature in the range of 110.degree. F. to 180.degree. F. for a holding period of about 1 hour to about 24 hours, and thereafter drying the resulting solution. An acid is incorporated in the solution either before or after the holding period and prior to the drying step.The cold water soluble gelatins so prepared are characterized by improved solubility and ease of dispersion in water as well as by the clarity of the gels produced therefrom.

Abstract: Disclosed are an improved cold water soluble gelatin and a process of preparing it. The improved cold water soluble gelatin is prepared by a process which includes the steps of preparing an aqueous solution comprising water, gelatin and sugar containing corn syrup solids and maltodextrin, drying the solution and comminuting and screening the dried material so obtained to a particle size from about 20 to about 200 U.S. mesh wherein at least about 40 percent by weight of the particles will pass through U.S. mesh greater than 100.
