Shipping Gelatin: What Can Go Wrong Between Plant and Plant
Gelatin is not fragile, but long sea freight in variable conditions exposes it to moisture, heat cycling and physical damage.
Microbiological Specifications for Gelatin
Gelatin is a nutrient-rich protein handled in water. The microbiological controls that follow from that are worth understanding.
Reading a Certificate of Analysis Properly
A certificate is a record of what was measured, on what, by whom. Reading it critically catches problems that a pass/fail glance misses.
Traceability From Hide to Batch: What a Real Chain Looks Like
