Gelatin helps create the foamy texture found in mousse and provides stabilizing and water-binding properties.
Quark Cheese
Dairy manufacturers use gelatin to enhance the overall texture and improve stability of quark cheese.
Whipped Cream
What keeps the perfect scoop of whipped cream from falling apart? Gelatin! Its water-binding effect helps keep the tasty treat intact.
Creamy Yogurt
Gelatin in yogurt creates a smooth, firm, consistent texture that binds the product together and gives it a more appetizing appearance.
