Raw Materials


Print

Rousselot raw materials are collected in slaughterhouses, meat-cutting facilities and hide-processing plants.

 

Rousselot is currently using a wide array of raw material sources. They are:


  • fish skins
  • bovine bones
  • bovine hides
  • pig skins
  • pig bones

Once retrieved, Rousselot raw materials may be prepared by various processes.
In all cases, they are submitted to strict controls before entering the Rousselot process.


Porcine

Rousselot uses both pig skins and pig bones, allowing us to offer two main gelatine types:

  • Rousselot PS, extracted from acid processed pig skin
  • Rousselot LP, extracted from alkali processed pig bones


Bovine

The bovine raw materials used by Rousselot are bones and hides. The typical types we offer are:

 

  • Rousselot LB; alkali processed bovine bones
  • Rousselot AH, acid processed bone hides
  • Rousselot AB, acid processed bovine bones
  • Rousselot H, an acid and alkali processed bovine hide

Fish

Rousselot was the first one to manufacture fish gelatine, through patented Rousselot technology.
This is available as Rousselot FG.
