Abstract

Gelatin, a well-known biocompatible polymer, is a derivative of collagen obtained by the heat denaturation of collagen. The properties of gelatin vary depending on the sources and extraction techniques. Gelatin is remarkably known for its special gel-forming ability, which makes it a suitable material for exploring the fundamental functional features in colloid studies. Gelatin is widely explored by the scientific community because of its unique characteristics and is highly demanded by various industries such as food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, photographic, etc. This chapter focuses on the various sources, extraction, and properties of gelatin and provide an insight into gelatin in recent applications.
