| In Belgium, PB Gelatins in Vilvoorde makes acid gelatin out of pigskins and out of ossein from pig bones. |
|
| Once the fat has been rendered, the bones are processed into ossein in an acid bath. |
|
| In addition, the size of the ossein particles was found to be critical for the improvement of mechanical properties. |
|
| The plant will have the licenced capacity to process 13,000 tonnes of crushed animal bones into 3000 tonnes of ossein and 6000 tonnes of dicalcium phosphate. |
|
| They are then processed into ossein in the acidulation and liming units. |
|
| The mineralised matrix of bone tissue has an organic component of mainly collagen called ossein and an inorganic component of bone mineral made up of various salts. |
|
| Ossein, which is essentially a biological hydroxyapatite, was found to improve the modulus and increase the hydrophilicity of the polymeric substrate. |
