General Description

Succinylated gelatin is a modified form of gelatin, a protein derived from collagen found in animal skin and bones. Succinylation is the process of adding succinic acid to the gelatin molecules, resulting in a cross-linked network that provides improved stability and functionality. This modification enhances the gelatin's water solubility, gel strength, and viscosity, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Succinylated gelatin is often used as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and emulsifier in food products such as desserts, confectionery, and meat products due to its ability to improve texture, shelf life, and mouthfeel. In the pharmaceutical industry, succinylated gelatin is utilized as an excipient in drug formulations, particularly in the production of capsules and tablets, due to its controlled release properties and compatibility with active pharmaceutical ingredients.
