The difference between gelatin and collagen

2021 10/11

Gelatin is a kind of protein derived from partial hydrolysis of collagen. Gelatin and collagen have homology.

Collagen has a rod-like triple helix structure.

When it is partially hydrolyzed to gelatine, part of the triple helix structure of collagen separates and breaks.

The amino acid composition of gelatin is similar to that of collagen, but the composition may also be different due to differences in pretreatment.
