Monzinger Gelatin: Quality starts with the Raw Materials
MONZINGER GELATIN® is a pure natural product. It is exclusively made from pig skin sourced from healthy slaughtered animals from registered slaughterhouses, which have been found fit for human consumption by a veterinarian officer.
The procurement of raw materials is only based on valid legal regulations, which are also reflected in the REINERT raw materials standard.
This REINERT requirement is supervised and guaranteed by the incoming control of every single delivery, as well as by regulary audits at the suppliers, who must be registered according to the legal provisions for gelatin and it’s raw materials. This makes the raw materials subject to a complete safety and origin control which can be documented and verified at any time.
Our laboratory, equipped with the latest analytic devices, is responsible for the quality control of the end product and the supervision of the single production steps. The safety of our gelatin is warranted by the compliance to the directive (EEC) 853/2004. This directive lays down all aspects of the gelatin production, from the raw material to the despatch.
This comprises the origin of the raw materials, their transport and storage, the conditions of manufacture and chemical requirements on gelatin as well as on the packing or transport.
The micro-biological requirements are fixed in the directive EEC) 1441/2007.
In the production process, the valuable collagene protein is macerated by aid of acid. The material is mixed with water, extracted and demineralized in a multi-stage process. Then the solution is concentrated by evaporation, filtered and sterilized. Subsequent, the gelatin is dryed and grinded to the required mesh size. Most stringent laboratory controls guarantee for utmost safety and quality of our gelatin.
Gelatin is a pure and high-grade protein with high content of the amino acids glycine and proline, which are particularly necessary for the connective tissue and the growth and preservation of bones as well as for the function of joints.
Another important essential amino acid in gelatin is lysine (3,4 g per 100 g gelatin). Lysine plays an important role with the formation and protection of new tissue and with the growth of bones and cells.
MONZINGER GELATIN® is free from fat or carbohydrates, strenghtens the connective tissue, contributes to shiny hair and firm finger nails. It improves the hydration of skin and reduces the depth of wrinkles.

Comparisation of 3 of the 19 amino acids in gelatin with milk and bread
Gelatin (100g) Milk (100g) Bread (100g)
Glycine 20.6 g 0.1 g 0.3 g
Proline 11.7 g 0.4 g 0.9 g
Lysine 3.4 g 0.3 g 0.2 g
Gelatin contains in average 84 - 90% pure protein. The amino acid values in the table were recalculated accordingly in order to allow a direct comparisation with milk and bread.
MONZINGER GELATIN® is available in numerous gel strenghts of 80 to 280 bloom (AOAC), in 25 kg bags, big-bags oder tank lorry. The standard granulation is 14 mesh (ASTM), but can also selected coarser or finer.
