Halal Certified Gelatin
Gelatin is initially isolated from skin and bones of pig and other animals. So it’s generally forbidden in Islamic food. To meet the requirements of Islamic food, halal gelatin is isolated from fish, chicken and bovine. At the same time, Agar Agar, Carrageenan, Gellan Gum, Tara Gum, Locust Bean Gum, and various other Vegetarian thickeners are developed to replace gelatin in various applications.
