I-gelatin yokutya isetyenziswa kakhulu kwishishini leelekese.Enye yazo kukuba isebenza njengomthombo wendalo weprotheyini, kwaye inemisebenzi emininzi efana ne-gelatinous, igwebu, i-emulsifying kunye nokuvalwa kwamanzi.Le misebenzi ibaluleke kakhulu ukuhlangabezana neemfuno zemveliso yeelekese.Ukongeza, i-gelatin nayo ineempawu zokuziva "ezicacileyo" kunye "nencasa engathathi hlangothi", enokuthi ihlangabezane neemfuno zabathengi kumbala kunye nencasa yeelekese.Iimpawu ezicacileyo zinokubonelela ngenkangeleko yegummy.I-Gelatin ayinayo incasa ekhethekileyo, ngoko unokuyisebenzisa ukwenza zonke iintlobo zeemveliso zencasa, ezifana nochungechunge lweziqhamo, uchungechunge lwesiselo, uchungechunge lwetshokolethi, kunye nochungechunge lwetyuwa njalo njalo.
Ukupheliswa kweukutya gelatininokuqhutywa ngamanyathelo amabini.Inyathelo lokuqala kukwenza iukutya gelatinukufunxa amanzi kunye nokwandisa malunga nemizuzu engama-30 emanzini abandayo abilisiwe.Inyathelo lesibini kukufudumeza amanzi (emva kokubilisa kunye nokupholisa ukuya kuma-60-70 ℃) ukuya kwandisiwe.ukutya gelatinokanye uyifudumeze ukwenza iukutya gelatinnyibilika kwisisombululo esifunekayo segelatin.
