Want to know more about GELITA?
Join us at the Center Stage of the SSW Expo Hall for the U.S. debut
of You Can See, a short film documenting one man’s insightful
journey of how one seemingly ordinary gummy alters his perspective.
Then, gather with GELITA experts for an interactive and out-of-thebox collagen protein experience. How do bouncy balls perform differently when made with
various hydrocolloids? And what does this ingredient choice mean to the sensorial attributes of
gummies - like taste and texture? How to create a fresh beauty smoothie without dairy or ice and
yet without compromising the expected thick and creamy mouthfeel? And how does nutrition
through collagen proteins play a vital role in musculoskeletal health?
Relevant for Today’s Trends: Clean Label
Consumers demand clean label formulations and ingredients. GELITA® Collagen Proteins (both
gelatine and collagen peptides) satisfy this trend. As pure natural protein derived from natural
raw materials, collagen proteins have enjoyed FDA’s GRAS status for decades, have no ENumber, do not cause allergic reactions and have been found in our grandmothers’ kitchens for
years! And with diverse technical properties, collagen proteins are the ideal fit for many favorite
foods and beverages, nutritional supplements and pharmaceuticals and even medical devices.
Improving Quality of Life
GELITA’s collagen ingredients offer physiological benefits, too. As collagen is the key element of
mammals, basically all relevant parts of the body are based on collagen: bones, blood vessels,
skin, muscles, organs, ligaments, tendons, joint cartilage etc. So, while traditional textbook
knowledge assigns protein value according to the simple approach of essential amino acid
composition, nature itself indicates a different sensibility. The value of any protein is certainly
greater than the sum of its amino acids. GELITA® Bioactive Collagen Peptides® are extensively
clinically tested and scientifically proven for results. And, these versatile ingredients can bridge
the gap between product categories such as food and cosmetics or food and pharma.
