So here is Gelatin made from buffalo hides?

Factual Questions
1

Just wondering my customer ask 55-60% with moisture raw hide(bovine) for raw material of gelatin.

I don’t know how they will made but should I offer them both Cow/Buffalo hides? use for raw material of gelatin?

2

Yes it CAN, but you probably want to ask them because depending on what they are producing the gelatin for they may want only bovine.

FWIW, I worked in the Eastman Gelatin (Kodak) plant in Peabody, MA in the '60s making film stock. We unloaded and liquified a zillion tons of cow bones from Argentina, but I never saw any hides go into the mix.

I would normally imagine that the leather from the hides would be worth more industrially [garment and luggage, frex] than just rendering it into gelstock.

The customer specifically requested bovine hides though.
