Does jelly and jellybeans have gelatin?
Jellybeans are made of strictly of corn syrup. As well as Jelly. But just so you know there is more than one type of gelatin. There's the one i'm positive you heard about is the traditional version ( which i think is disgusting as well) As for foods you want to avoid, A lot of desserts contain that type of gelatin. Here is a few more just so you're aware. - Jell-O - sour cream - cream cheese - Ice Creams & Sorbets - Margarine - Skittles, Starburst, Gummy ANYTHING. - some cake icing and frosting - marshmallows - lots of soups, sauces /gravy - Peeps It's even used sometimes in make-up, ointments and to make coating for pills and used to make cough drops. Your best bet is to avoid anything that says gelatin on the package or if you would like to make something that you do need Gelatin for, use Lieber’s unflavored gel, Carmel’s unsweetened gel, KoJel’s unflavored gel or Agar- Agar. All of those are Kosher and not made from the meat bones. Good Luck and i Hope all this helps

It can be flavored with any kind of fruit puree or just vanilla.
What percentage of baking items in Australia uses pork gelatin?
Cheese cake is a dessert rather than a ‘bakery item’.- Gelatin is used in desserts to gently set the product: there is no other stabiliser quite like gelatin - it dissolves easily, then after warming (usually pasteurisation or similar) sets-up over a period to give a gelled texture, which melts in the mouth! - this also has advantages for food manufacturers in that it controls water migration is the product over shelf-life typically prevents syneresis:(later of liquid appearing on or around products).- There are other stabiliser combinations which can control syneresis e.g. thickening starches etc. - however these tends to give a paste-y texture rather then the delicate gel.Alternatives to pork (porcine) gelatin are bovine (cow) and fish (isinglass): for diary it would avoid using another species if bovine was used.

What is gelatin? I have just recently turned lacto - vegetarian.....?
Aside from the obvious "meat" products, other things are also derived from dead animals. Gelatin is one of them. Gelatin is usually made from the skin of animals (collagen) or from the bones of fish. It is a meat item. I'm vegan and sometimes a family member will ask if I will eat marshmallows. I have to explain to them that marshmallows are a meat item (as are jelly beans and gelcaps). I do buy vegan marshmallows and marshmallow-containing products from VeganEssentials.com. They're better than the death-based variety! They also sell gelatin substitutes. Also, most cheese is actually a meat item. Most cheeses you'll find for sale at grocery stores or served in restaurants or on pizzas contain rennet/rennin. Rennet is used in the cheese making process and is derived from the fourth stomachs of slaughtered calves. More recently, it has been extracted from pigs, as well. More and more vegetarian cheeses are coming onto the market, which use plant-based microbial enzymes instead of rennet. But many vegetarians eat cheese without confirming if it contains rennet/rennin. If it does, it's not vegetarian. I recently learned that Kraft American Swiss is made with microbial rennet, as is the cheese used on pizzas at the chain 'Chuck-E-Cheese'. (Their pizza sauce and dough is vegan, too, according to the company.)
What types of puddings contain gelatin?
Gelatin is derived from collagen, which is achieved through the boiling of animal bones, ligaments, skin or tendons with water. Gelatin is usually produced from cows and pigs.Gelatin is found in a number of food and non-food items, including:Candies - Altoids, Starburst chews and other gummy candies use gelatin to achieve their consistency.Desserts - Many desserts, including Jell-O, pudding, marshmallows, ice cream and cakes, contain gelatin.Dairy - Some dairy items, including yogurt and sour cream, include gelatin as an ingredient.Cereal - Some frosted cereals use gelatin.Nuts - Some peanuts use gelatin as a coating to help hold the salt on the nuts.Cosmetics - Cosmetics and beauty products, such as shampoos and face masks, include gelatin as an ingredient.Because gelatin is derived from animal products, it is not considered vegetarian or vegan. Vegetarians and vegans can use the alternative product called agar in place of gelatin. Agar is derived from seaweed rather than an animal product. Vegetarians and vegans should also be aware that products that are marked "kosher" are not necessarily free from all animal products, and the best way to maintain a specific diet is by reading labels.
What is a great substitute for apple jelly in recipes?
Any jam, or a marmalade, will do. Jam, because of the fruit left in it, has a different consistency than jelly, which is strained of all fruit pieces. the reason the recipe calls for apricot is because of the acidic quality of the apricot....it offsets the "heat" of the ginger and its a good flavor profile. You could use peach if you have it, orange marmalade or even raspberry though it will change the color of the pudding, and it may not make it look pleasant. You can always use canned fruit to do it....the recipe only calls for a tablespoon, so, if you have can of peaches, mandarin oranges, or pears, simply strain the fruit out f the syrup and crush it a bit with a fork...then put the syrup in a saucepan and thicken it with corn starch....when it begins to boil, whisk the fruit in and let it thicken. Remove it from the heat and let it cool completely. an added bonus is that yo can serve this spooned around th outer edge of th pudding as a sauce....a nice finishing touch for a dessert.
Is STARBURST & SKITTLES really made with PIG FAT?
They are made up of geletin. What exactly is gelatin? Gelatin is just a processed version of a structural protein called collagen that is found in many animals, including humans. Collagen actually makes up almost a third of all the protein in the human body. It is a big, fibrous molecule that makes skin, bones, and tendons both strong and somewhat elastic. As you get older, your body makes less collagen, and individual collagen fibers become crosslinked with each other. You might experience this as stiff joints (from less flexible tendons) or wrinkles (from loss of skin elasticity). The gelatin you eat in Jell-O comes from the collagen in cow or pig bones, hooves, and connective tissues. To make gelatin, manufacturers grind up these various parts and pre-treat them with either a strong acid or a strong base to break down cellular structures and release proteins like collagen. After pre-treatment, the resulting mixture is boiled. During this process, the large collagen protein ends up being partially broken down, and the resulting product is called gelatin. The gelatin is easily extracted because it forms a layer on the surface of the boiling mixture. Gelatin is a common ingredient in foods because it is so versatile. It can be used as a gelling agent (as in Jell-O), as a thickener, an emulsifier, and a stabilizer. You'll find it in a variety of foods, from yogurt to chewing gum. Here is a list of some other foods that commonly contain gelatin: gummy bears sour cream cream cheese cake icing and frosting marshmallows soups, sauces and gravies canned ham and chicken corned beef sausage Gelatin is even used to make the coating for pills that makes them easier to swallow. It's also in cosmetics, lozenges, and ointments.
