Bakery Products
Gelatin is used as a stabilizer in various types of icings, frostings, and fillings. It prevents crystallization of these components and lends a smooth texture and glossy sheen to them. Gelatin is also added to bakery glazes as a stabilizer. It prevents the glaze from drying out and cracking on the surface.

Confectionery Products
Gelatin is used in a variety of gelled confections, including gummy candies, jujubes, gumdrops and wine gums. Gelatin provides textures ranging from soft and elastic to hard and chewy, depending on the bloom strength and formulation.

In aerated confectionery products such as marshmallows, nougat and marshmallow meringues, gelatin serves as a whipping agent and foam stabilizer. It also prevents crystallization and ensures a smooth texture and longer shelf-life.

In confectionery products such as toffees, caramels and licorice, gelatin acts as a binder and also aids in moisture retention, extending the shelf-life of products.

In filled confections, a gelatin solution can be used to seal the centers before chocolate or sugar panning. This prevents moisture or oil from migrating from the center to the shell of the confection. Gelatin can also be used to add body and replace fat in various filling for chocolate bonbons and confections.

In milk caramels and toffees, gelatin is added to emulsify the fat and give the product a chewy texture.

Meat Products
Gelatin has many applications in the meat product category. It is used in the coating of cooked meat and sausage products, giving it an appealing appearance and preventing moisture loss in the product. It is also widely used in the manufacture of canned meat products such as chicken, corned beef and tongue. In this application, gelatin absorbs and stabilizes meat juices and enhances the protein balance of the final product.

In pâtés, gelatin acts as a fat emulsifier, and acts to bind juices, stabilize the product to prevent it from crumbling when sliced.

Other Food Applications:
Gelatin is frequently used as a thickener and emulsifier in soups, gravies and sauces. It is also used as a thickener and stabilizer in low-fat mayonnaise and salad dressings, and in myriad other applications.
