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, 40 mesh grade in a 50 lb bulk and wholesale format, pairing high gel strength with a finer, faster dissolving powder.


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. With no flavor, color, or aroma of its own, it sets and thickens without altering the taste you are building.


What 250 Bloom Means For You

Bloom measures gel strength, and at 250 this is a high bloom grade that gives a firm, clean set. High bloom gelatin holds its shape well and reaches a target firmness with less powder, making 250 a dependable choice for gummies, cut jellies, marshmallows, and other confections that need to hold their form.


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

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

Why Buyers Choose It

This grade combines a firm 250 bloom set with a fast dissolving fine grind, appealing to producers who want clean hydration without sacrificing strength. 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.

  • Pure, unflavored beef source gelatin for gelling and thickening
  • High 250 bloom for a firm, clean set
  • Finer 40 mesh grind for faster, more even hydration
  • Ideal for gummies, marshmallows, clear jellies, and glazes

Frequently Asked Questions

Which mesh size should I choose for a continuous production line?
The finer 40 mesh dissolves quickly and evenly, which can suit automated or continuous systems where the gelatin needs to hydrate fast and uniformly. A coarser grind is sometimes preferred where dust control or controlled hydration matters more, so the best choice depends on how your equipment meters and mixes the powder.
Can bovine gelatin be used in dairy products like yogurt and cream desserts?
Gelatin is widely used to set and stabilize dairy based desserts such as cream fillings, set yogurts, and mousses, where it adds body and helps prevent separation. Its neutral flavor means it adds structure without competing with the dairy, and a firm bloom like 250 gives a stable set at typical use levels.
Why is my gelatin gel weeping or releasing liquid?
Weeping, also called syneresis, happens when the gel network contracts and squeezes out water, often from under dosing, excess acid, or temperature swings during storage. Increasing the gelatin slightly, balancing the acidity, and holding a steady chill temperature usually tightens the network and reduces the liquid release.
Does this gelatin contain any carbohydrates or fat?
Gelatin is essentially pure protein derived from collagen, so on its own it contributes protein with negligible carbohydrate or fat. That makes it attractive in protein forward and low carb formulations, though buyers should confirm exact nutritional values against the supplier specification for labeling.
How fine is 40 mesh gelatin compared to standard table sugar?
A 40 mesh powder is moderately fine, with particles smaller than coarse grinds but not powdery like confectioners sugar, landing roughly in the range of fine granulated sugar. This balance lets it dissolve quickly while still being easy to handle and meter without excessive dusting.
Is a halal version of this 250 bloom gelatin available?
A halal version of this product is offered in addition to the standard SKU. Buyers who need halal product should request that version specifically when placing a wholesale order rather than the standard one.
