How is the quality of Pork Skin for snacks ensured?

For snacks, a skin with a specific thickness and little fat is chosen, so that it swells properly and becomes crispy when fried. It is also a basic raw material for the production of edible gelatin. It is delivered dehaired and clean, ready for industrial processing without the need for further cleaning.

Is Pig Skin suitable for gelatin production?

Yes, pork skin is the most important source for the production of edible gelatin. Due to its high content of type I collagen, the skin is hydrolyzed to produce gelatin which is widely used in gummies, desserts, yogurts, and also in the pharmaceutical industry (capsules). It is a high-value by-product for the ingredients industry.

Does it need to be cleaned of hair?

The skin is delivered ready for immediate use. It has undergone a scalding process, complete dehairing and thorough washing. The gelatin or snack industry receives a clean, white and foreign material-free product, which can be introduced directly into hydrolysis reactors or fryers without any further cleaning treatment.
