Custom Collagen Unflavored Bovine Gelatin is a strong gelling and thickening agent made from beef collagen, supplied unflavored so it sets and stabilizes without affecting taste. This is the 250 bloom, 30 mesh grade in a 50 lb bulk and wholesale format, a high gel strength gelatin with a coarser grind suited to large batch production.


Gelatin gives structure to gummies, marshmallows, jellies, mousses, panna cotta, aspics, and glazes. 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, firm, thermoreversible gel. Carrying no flavor, color, or aroma, it sets and thickens without changing the taste profile you are building.


What 250 Bloom Means For You

Bloom is the measure of gel strength, and at 250 this is a high bloom grade that delivers a firm, clean set. High bloom gelatin holds its shape well and lets you reach a target firmness with less powder, making 250 a reliable choice for gummies, cut jellies, marshmallows, and other confections that need to stand up cleanly.


What 30 Mesh Means For You

Mesh describes particle size, and at 30 mesh this is a coarser grind that hydrates in a controlled way and resists clumping when it meets liquid. That makes it straightforward to bloom and disperse in larger batches, and it is offered alongside a finer 40 mesh version so you can match the grind to your equipment.


Common Uses

  • Gummies, pastilles, and chewy confections
  • Marshmallows and nougat
  • Fruit jellies, gel layers, and glazes
  • Mousses, panna cotta, custards, and Bavarian creams
  • Aspics and savory set dishes
  • Stabilizing whipped and aerated desserts

Why Buyers Choose It

At 250 bloom this grade offers most of the firm setting power of the highest blooms while remaining a versatile all rounder. The neutral unflavored profile works across sweet and savory applications, the coarse 30 mesh blooms cleanly at volume, 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
  • High 250 bloom for a firm, clean set
  • Coarser 30 mesh grind that blooms cleanly at volume
  • Ideal for gummies, marshmallows, jellies, and mousses
  • Neutral flavor for sweet and savory applications
  • 50 lb bulk and wholesale format with quantity pricing
  • Halal version available

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 250 bloom and 275 bloom gelatin?
Both are high bloom grades that set firm, with 275 sitting slightly stronger than 250. In practice the gap is small, and many producers choose between them based on the exact firmness target and how much gelatin they want to use per batch, since the higher bloom lets you dose a little lighter.
Can I use bovine gelatin to make sugar free or reduced sugar gummies?
Gelatin sets through its protein network rather than through sugar, so it works in reduced sugar and sugar free formulas. Sugar does affect final texture and water activity, so removing it usually means adjusting the recipe, and bench testing the gelatin rate helps you keep the chew you want without the sugar carrying part of the structure.
Does gelatin lose strength if it is heated too high?
Holding gelatin at high temperatures for an extended time can degrade the protein and weaken the eventual set. The usual practice is to warm it only enough to dissolve fully and avoid prolonged boiling, which preserves the gel strength you are paying for in a high bloom grade.
How does bovine gelatin compare to pectin or agar for setting jellies?
Gelatin gives a soft, elastic, melt in the mouth set and is thermoreversible, while pectin and agar set firmer and hold at higher temperatures. The right choice depends on the texture and heat stability you need, and gelatin is generally preferred where that tender, melting mouthfeel is the goal.
Is bovine gelatin gluten free?
Gelatin is a pure protein derived from collagen and contains no grains, so by its nature it does not contain gluten. Buyers who need a certified gluten free claim for labeling should still confirm the specific certification status with the supplier rather than rely on the ingredient type alone.
