Animal gelling agent substitute: Fish collagen can replace the traditional animal gelling agent for making jellies, candies, puddings and other food products, giving them good gelling properties and texture.
Packaging materials: Fish collagen can be used as coating for food packaging materials to improve the moisture resistance and freshness of packaging.
