APPLICATIONS
At Juncà Gelatines S. L. we have created a wide range of specific gelatines for different applications.


Gelatine is a unique ingredient for its multifunctional character. In the sweets sector it is used for gelling, thickening, stabilising, aerating, and emulsifying.

It is also present in other desserts such as sorbets, meringues, custards…
The concentration and characteristics of gelatine in terms of bloom and viscosity determine the texture of the dessert and setting time.
Gelatine improves consistency, providing a smooth and creamy texture especially in low-fat products.
Gelatine forms a film that protects the product and facilitates handling while increasing its protein level.


Gelatine protects medicine from light and oxygen, while facilitating correct unification of the active ingredients and extends product shelf-life.
Gelatine is also used in vitamin preparations, in orthodontic and surgical sponges and as a plasma expander.
Food supplements with collagen hydrolysate, Protesol D, help to improve the condition of the joints, strengthen bones, hair and nails and improve the health of the skin.
Collagen hydrolysate, Protesol D is used in the field of dietetics in the manufacture of cereal bars, energy drinks, dietary supplements, etc… Often in combination with vitamins and minerals.
Creams, lotions, shampoos, lipsticks, face masks and conditioners, among others contain collagen hydrolysate.
Hydrolysed collagen moisturises the skin, restores its natural elasticity and prevents the appearance of wrinkles.
Hydrolysed collagen moisturises hair, restoring shine and health, especially after chemical treatments, such as dyeing or perming.
Gelatine is used in pet food for its high protein content.
Also gelatine is used for micro-encapsulation of vitamins in animal nutrition.
