Gelatin is a form of collagen which is completely natural and entirely protein - 100% fat free. It provides all 8 of the essential amino acids required by your body to repair itself and grow.
There are several ways of getting gelatin, the most common is from treating pig skin with acid, but you can also get gelatin from pig bones. For kosher and halal gelatin, cow hide and bones can be treated with alkali, or fish and chicken skin and bones can undergo the same processes.
It is possible to substitute gelatin with other hydrocolloids, however if you talk to many cooks they will tell you that they are not up to scratch. Colloids like xanthan gum, guar gum, or pectins do not bind in the final product quite as well.

∙ 12y agoNot all gelatins include animal products during manufacturing nowadays. Kosher gelatin is an alternative that is made without using animal products. Look for brands such as Kojel, Haddar, Victors, and Carmel on Kosher outlet websites to order if you don't find them in your local stores.
Agar agar is a vegetarian substitute for gelatin. It is available in most health food and Asian grocery stores.
Pectin and carageenan make good substitutes, also you can buy vegetarian gelatin from health food stores.

You heard that if the packaging does not say beef pork gelatin then the food product is not haram Is there any truth in this?
It depends on the country, but generally, no. If the type of gelatin is not specified on the list of ingredients, it is usually pork-derived, which would make the gelatin-containing-product haram. If the gelatin used is halal beef gelatin (as opposed to haram beef gelatin - which can come from an improperly slaughtered cow) or is vegetarian gelatin, the product will indicate as much.
