Gelatin Products
Gelatin is a translucent, colorless, flavorless, solid substance, derived from Collagen. Gelatin is commonly used in foods and pharmaceuticals as a gelling agent. Common examples of foods that contain gelatin or collagen include yogurt, marshmallows, gelatin desserts, nutrition bars and protein shakes. Gelatin can also be used as a texturizer, stabilizer and thickener in foods. Lugo Nutrition has maintained a strong presence in the Gelatin market since 1973 and carries a complete line of Gelatin products derived from various animal sources. Lugo Nutrition also serves the capsule making, pharmaceutical and photographic industries.

Collagen, unlike gelatin, is non-gelling and fully soluble in cold water, allowing it to be incorporated into food, beverages, and dietary supplements.
