It is also broadly used in various industries such as food and cosmetics. Gelatine is a biopolymer obtained from discarded or unused materials of bovine, porcine, ovine, poultry and marine industrial farms. The discarded materials can be the skin, tendons, cartilages, bones and connective tissues. Gelatine sourced from animals is relatively easy and inexpensive to produce. The potential needs of gelatine cannot be overemphasised. Rising demands, health concerns and religious issues have heightened the need for alternative sources of gelatine. This review presents the various industrial uses of gelatine and the latest developments in producing gelatine from various sources. abStrak Gelatin diguna sebagai eksipien (bahan tambahan) dalam pelbagai bentuk dos farmaseutik seperti kelongsong kapsul (keras dan lembut), tablet, ampaian (suspensi), emulsi dan suntikan (contoh: pengembang plasma). Ia juga diguna dalam pelbagai industri lain seperti industri makanan dan kosmetik. Gelatin adalah biopolimer yang diperoleh daripada bahan-bahan terbuang atau yang tidak diguna daripada haiwan ternakan termasuk lembu, porsin, ovin, unggas dan ikan. Bahan-bahan terbuang ini adalah seperti kulit, tendon, rawan, tulang dan tisu penghubung. Gelatin daripada sumber haiwan adalah agak mudah dan murah untuk dihasilkan. Potensi gelatin tidak dapat dinafikan. Permintaan yang semakin meningkat, masalah kesihatan dan isu-isu agama telah meningkatkan keperluan untuk sumber alternatif gelatin. Tinjauan ini membentangkan pelbagai kegunaan gelatin dalam industri dan perkembangan terkini dalam penghasilan gelatin daripada pelbagai sumber.
