Custom Collagen Unflavored Porcine Gelatin is a strong 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 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, glazes, 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, firm, 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 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. Porcine gelatin is valued for clean, clear, neutral results across both 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
  • 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
  • Neutral flavor for sweet and savory applications
  • 50 lb bulk and wholesale format with quantity pricing

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a finer grind change how much gelatin I should use?
No, dose is governed by bloom strength and the firmness you want, not by mesh. A 40 mesh and a 30 mesh of the same 250 bloom set to the same firmness at the same dose, with the finer grind simply dissolving faster.
Can I use porcine gelatin in dairy desserts like panna cotta?
Gelatin is the classic setting agent for panna cotta and similar dairy desserts, where it gives a tender, just set texture. Its neutral flavor lets the cream and added flavors lead, and a firm bloom can be dosed lightly to keep that signature delicate wobble.
How do I fix a gelatin mixture that started to set before pouring?
A mixture that begins to set early can usually be gently rewarmed until it flows again, then poured. Working quickly once it is liquid and avoiding repeated heating keeps the set strength intact while letting you complete the pour cleanly.
Is gelatin safe to consume for most diets?
Gelatin is a widely consumed single ingredient protein, though it is animal derived and this one is porcine, which matters for certain dietary and religious requirements. Buyers should match the source to their customers' needs and confirm any specific dietary claims with the supplier.
Does gelatin contribute calories to a recipe?
Gelatin contributes a modest amount of calories from protein, with negligible fat and carbohydrate. Used at typical setting levels its calorie contribution is small, though exact figures should be confirmed against the supplier specification for labeling.
