Custom Collagen Unflavored Bovine Gelatin is a soft set gelling and thickening agent made from beef collagen, supplied unflavored so it sets and stabilizes without affecting taste. This is the 175 bloom, 40 mesh grade in a 50 lb bulk and wholesale format, pairing a lower gel strength with a finer, faster dissolving powder.


Gelatin gives body and a tender set to mousses, creams, fillings, jellies, panna cotta, aspics, and aerated desserts. It melts near body temperature for a clean release on the palate and resets on cooling, making it one of the most dependable texturizers in commercial food production.


What This Product Is

This is a pure, unflavored bovine (beef source) gelatin in powder form. Gelatin is the protein produced when collagen is broken down, and once dissolved in warm liquid and cooled it forms a clear, thermoreversible gel. With no flavor, color, or aroma of its own, it sets and thickens without changing the taste you are building.


What 175 Bloom Means For You

Bloom measures gel strength, and at 175 this is a lower bloom grade that gives a softer, more tender set. Lower bloom gelatin is well suited to delicate textures like creams, mousses, and soft fillings where you want body and a gentle hold rather than a firm, rigid gel.


What 40 Mesh Means For You

Mesh describes particle size, and at 40 mesh this is the finer of the two grinds. A finer particle dissolves faster and more evenly thanks to greater surface area, which can speed blooming and reduce the chance of undissolved specks in clear or delicate applications. It is offered alongside a coarser 30 mesh version so you can match the grind to your process.


Common Uses

  • Mousses, creams, and Bavarian creams
  • Soft fillings and dessert layers
  • Panna cotta and custards
  • Soft set jellies
  • Aspics and savory set dishes
  • Stabilizing whipped and aerated desserts

Why Buyers Choose It

This grade pairs a soft 175 bloom set with a fast dissolving fine grind, suiting delicate creams and mousses that benefit from smooth, clean hydration. The neutral unflavored profile works across sweet and savory applications, and as a beef source gelatin it suits operations that need a non porcine option.


Bulk and Wholesale Format

This grade ships in a 50 lb bulk format priced for wholesale buyers, suited to manufacturers, confectioners, and high volume kitchens rather than retail needs. Quantity pricing is available for larger wholesale orders.


Halal Availability

A halal version of this bovine gelatin is available and can be requested as a separate option from the standard wholesale SKU.


Key Takeaways

  • Pure, unflavored beef source gelatin for gelling and thickening
  • Lower 175 bloom for a softer, more tender set
  • Finer 40 mesh grind for faster, more even hydration
  • Ideal for mousses, creams, soft fillings, and panna cotta
  • Neutral flavor for sweet and savory applications
  • 50 lb bulk and wholesale format with quantity pricing
  • Halal version available

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a fine grind matter more for delicate desserts?
A finer 40 mesh dissolves quickly and smoothly, which is helpful in delicate creams and clear desserts where any undissolved particle would be noticeable. Since softer set products are often valued for their smooth texture, a fast dissolving grind helps keep the finished result silky.
How do I rescue a mousse that did not set?
A mousse that stayed loose usually needed more gelatin or was not fully dissolved before folding in. The fix is to warm a small amount of additional bloomed gelatin, temper it with a little of the mixture so it does not seize, then fold it back through and chill again until set.
Can gelatin be added directly to a hot mixture?
Adding dry gelatin straight into a hot mixture tends to clump because the surface gels before the inside hydrates. Blooming it in cold liquid first, then stirring the softened gelatin into the warm base, gives even dispersion and a smooth result without lumps.
How much protein is in gelatin by weight?
Gelatin is close to entirely protein on a dry basis since it is purified collagen, with only minor moisture and mineral content. Exact figures vary slightly by product, so buyers needing precise nutrition data for labeling should confirm against the supplier specification.
Is a halal version of this 175 bloom gelatin available?
A halal version of this product is offered alongside the standard SKU. Operations with halal requirements should request that version specifically when ordering rather than the standard wholesale product.
