Innovative Uses of Functional Collagen and Gelatin in Nutrition Products

Discover the Future of Nutrition with GELITA



As the wellness movement continues to grow, GELITA is making waves in the food and beverage sector with its innovative collagen and gelatin solutions. At the forefront of this revolution is their booth at IFT FIRST 2025, where attendees can discover how GELITA's collagen proteins can aid formulators in crafting nutritious snacks and beverages that cater to contemporary consumer needs.

Innovative Solutions for Healthy Indulgence



GELITA introduces various groundbreaking products aimed at enhancing nutrition without compromising on taste. Their SOLUFORM® range is particularly noteworthy. This product allows food creators to produce delightful gummy treats that are low in sugar, while still bringing the rich flavors and beloved textures that consumers crave. It exemplifies how GELITA prioritizes consumer health while maintaining the integrity of traditional recipes.

OPTIBAR®: A Game-Changer for Healthy Snacks



In response to the booming demand for high-protein snacks, GELITA is proud to present OPTIBAR®. This new ingredient is specially formulated to enrich protein content within bars while also enhancing mouthfeel and structural integrity. It adeptly addresses common issues like stickiness and undesired flavors found in traditional ingredients, paving the way for a new generation of low-sugar cereal and granola bars.

The functional food market is witnessing exponential growth, especially with the rising preference for products that align with health and wellness goals. With OPTIBAR®, manufacturers can deliver clean-label, research-backed options without sacrificing taste or texture, thus meeting the evolving preferences of consumers.

The Expanding Role of Collagen



Collagen has surged in popularity, expanding beyond its beauty applications into the health food arena. As a vital structural protein, it contributes significantly to joint mobility, bone stability, and healthy muscle function. At the IFT FIRST event, GELITA experts will discuss how their Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®) can support manufacturers in developing products that align with consumer interests, particularly in the health-conscious segment.

GELITA’s Versatile Gummy Solutions



GELITA’s portfolio also shines when it comes to gummies. The SOLUFORM® SR and SOLUFORM® PE variants allow formulators to create healthier gummy products. While the former focuses on sugar reduction, the latter adds protein enrichment, enabling the creation of delicious, guilt-free gummy snacks that appeal to health enthusiasts. GELITA also offers VERISOL® HST, designed specifically for beauty gummy applications, allowing users to achieve their beauty goals conveniently through daily consumption.

Additionally, GELITA’s CONFIXX® promises to revolutionize the production process of gelatin by reducing setting times and simplifying the molding process, thus offering both efficiency and quality in production.
