Abstract
The present invention is a process for the manufacture of gelatin which includes providing a collagen containing material and demineralizing the collagen containing material to produce ossein. An enzyme solution containing protease at a concentration of at least 10 ppb is added to the ossein for a time sufficient to solubilize the ossein to produce a solution containing the gelatin at a weight percent of from 0.5 to 6 and at a predetermined viscosity.
