Abstract
Improving the cold water soluble properties of gelatin, in which a raw gelatin having a water content of more than 8% by weight is subjected to microwave heating using microwave energy to remove at least 35% of said water content to obtain a treated gelatin having a water content of not more than 16% by weight. The thus-obtained gelatin exhibits improved solubility in cold water. If desired, an expanding agent may be added to the raw gelatin before the microwave heating, thereby it is possible to obtain a treated gelatin having better transparency and outlook.

A process for improving the cold water-solubility of gelatin, which comprises subjecting a gelatin having a water content of more than 8% by weight to microwave heating to remove at least 35% of said water content so as to obtain a treated gelatin having a water content of not more than 16% by weight.
A process for improving the cold water-solubility of gelatin, which comprises subjecting a gelatin having a water content of more than 8% by weight, in association with an edible dispersing agent to microwave heating to obtain a treated gelatin having a water content of not more than 16% by weight.
