Custom Collagen Unflavored Porcine Gelatin is a soft set gelling and thickening agent made from pork collagen, supplied unflavored so it sets and stabilizes without changing the taste of the finished product. 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, and aspics. 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 porcine (pork source) gelatin in powder form. Gelatin is the protein recovered 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, and porcine gelatin is well regarded for clean, clear results.


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. Porcine gelatin is valued for clean, clear, neutral results across sweet and savory work.


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.


Key Takeaways

  • Pure, unflavored pork 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

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a fine grind help in smooth, delicate desserts?
A finer 40 mesh dissolves quickly and smoothly, which helps keep creams and clear desserts free of grainy bits. Since soft set products are often valued for a silky texture, a fast dissolving grind supports that clean, smooth result.
How do I rescue a mousse that will not set?
A loose mousse usually needed more gelatin or fuller dissolving. Warming a little extra bloomed gelatin, tempering it with some of the mixture so it does not seize, then folding it back in and chilling again typically brings it to a proper set.
Can dry gelatin be added straight to a hot mixture?
Adding dry gelatin to a hot mixture tends to clump as the surface gels before the inside hydrates. Blooming in cold liquid first, then stirring the softened gelatin into the warm base, gives smooth, even dispersion without lumps.
Is gelatin suitable for high protein dessert formulations?
Gelatin is high in protein and low in fat and carbohydrate, so it fits protein focused desserts and snacks well. A soft bloom adds that protein with a tender set, and exact nutrition figures should be confirmed against the supplier specification.
What gives gelatin its melt in the mouth quality?
Gelatin gels melt near body temperature, so they soften and release on the palate, which produces the characteristic melting sensation. This property is also why gelatin set products must be kept cool to hold their shape until served.
