As gelatine is classified as a foodstuff, it is not a food additive with an E number. Gelatine is a natural and healthy food that has a long history with many uses.
All gelatine is a by-product of the meat industry. Factories produce highly refined gelatine. Gelatine is a pure collagenous protein made from animal raw materials. Beef gelatine is generally made from Split, which is the thin, collagen-containing layer of the cattle hide that lies between the epidermis and subcutaneous layer.
Blooming gelatine
Many people think that there is an art to using gelatine – but really it is more like a science and, as long as you follow a few simple rules you should get good results every time.
Soak the gelatine for 30 minutes or more in 3 to 4 times its own weight of cold water or other liquid
Heat this mixture up gently over some form of double boiler, or in the microwave, until it forms a clear liquid.
NB Never allow gelatine to boil, or use boiling water, as this affects the strength of the gelatine.

There is a second meaning of the word “bloom”. Bloom indicates the gelling strength of the powder. Gelatine strength starts at approximately 90 Bloom (the weakest) to 300 Bloom (the strongest).
