UK Gelatin

UK Gelatin Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) is a degenerative disease that affects the central nervous system of cattle and makes the brain spongy. After that, the cow begins acting abnormally and must be killed in due course. When BSE consumes raw meat of infected cattle, consumes eyeball, spinal cord tissue, brain, BSE may be infected by humans. This disease is known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Another disease similar to mad cow disease is scrapie.

Gelatin is derived from collagen, an insoluble fibrin found in vertebrates, and is the main constituent of connective tissue and bone. Gelatin is recovered from collagen by hydrolysis. There are several types of gelatin whose composition depends on the source of collagen and the hydrolysis treatment used. Bones - known as fresh bones from halal slaughtered cattle, green bones are cleaned, degreased, dried, sorted and ground to a particle size of about 1 mm. 1 to 2 cm Next, the bone fragments are treated with dilute hydrochloric acid to remove inorganic salts. The resulting sponge-like material is called collagen. Leather - HALAL Leather from slaughtered animals is obtained from trimming operation of leather production. Dandruff is usually chemically depilated with lime and sulfide solution and then mechanically loosened

Cows and calves for gelatin production are usually from slaughtered animals that are not Muslims. Whether to permit or prohibit Muslims from using this gelatin is controversial. However, gelatin made from bovine bone that is suitably Halal slaughtered can be used. Fish skin gelatin is made from fish that is halal unless it is contaminated by other sources and recognized by Muslims using that product. Food processors strongly suspect that they contain pig gelatin, strongly suggesting that Muslims will not use it, thinking that the source of nonspecific gelatins is very suspicious.
