Gelatin and Collagen Peptides
Gelatin and collagen peptides are natural, functional proteins used across a wide range of everyday and specialist applications.
Gelatin is valued for its unique gelling, stabilising, binding and film-forming properties, making it an essential ingredient in food manufacture, cookery, pharmaceuticals, photography and other technical applications.
Collagen peptides, also manufactured by GMAP member companies, are widely used in health, nutrition, food and beauty products, where they support the growing demand for convenient, protein-based wellness ingredients.
Together, gelatin and collagen peptides continue to play an important role in product innovation, quality, performance and more sustainable ingredient solutions.
The Gelatin Manufacturers Association of Asia Pacific
GMAP is the industry association representing leading gelatin and collagen peptide manufacturers across the Asia Pacific region.
Formed in September 1996, GMAP became the fourth international gelatin association, joining the established regional associations representing Europe, North America and South America.
Today, GMAP represents 14 member companies across 7 countries and provides a collective voice for the gelatin and collagen peptide industry in the Asia Pacific region.
As an independent, non-trading and non-profit organisation, GMAP supports its members on matters relating to gelatin manufacture, product standards, regulatory requirements, safety, environmental responsibility and technical issues.
Our goal is to communicate the benefits of gelatin and collagen peptides as natural products with important roles in safety, nutrition, health, sustainability and product innovation.
