Gelatine, also known as gelatin or fish glue, is transliterated from the English name Gelatine. It is a colloid extracted from animal bones (mostly cattle bones or fish bones), and its main component is protein. Flaky gelatine tablets, also called gelatine tablets, are translucent and yellow-brown, and have a fishy smell. They need to be soaked in water to remove the fishy smell. The refined gelatine tablets after decoloration and deodorization are more transparent in color and expensive. Gelatine tablets must be stored in a dry place, otherwise they will stick when they are wet. (I haven't seen this before.) Powdered gelatine is also called gelatine powder, which is also the "oral powder" in Hong Kong-style recipes, and its effect is exactly the same as that of gelatine tablets. When the gelatine powder is used, it should be poured into ice water first, so that the powder can absorb enough water to expand, and it is easy to agglomerate without stirring. After the powder absorbs enough water, it should be stirred until it melts.
