Abstract

A casting compound for the production of gelatin products comprises a homogenous aqueous solution having: 4% to 16% by weight of gelatin having a molecular weight determined by gel chromatography of at least 130 kDa, where the proportion of the gelatin having a molecular weight exceeding 130 kDa is at least 35% by weight, 6% to 76% by weight of one or more sugar alcohols; 0% to 50% by weight of glucose syrup having a viscosity of less than 800 mPas, measured at a dry matter content of 80% by weight and a temperature of 50° C.; and 0% to 50% by weight of sucrose, where the glucose syrup and the sugar alcohol(s) together make up 25% to 76% by weight of the aqueous solution, and where the aqueous solution has a dry matter content of at least 78% by weight and/or a water activity (aw value) of less than 0.75.
