Lapi Gelatine was born in the Sixties as manufacturer of gelatine from bovine skins and nowadays it is one the few manufacturing plants in Europe continuing to make use of this raw material.
The company is part of the European association of the Manufactures of Gelatine, GME (Gelatine Manufacturs of Europe).

In the Nineties Lapi Gelatine started to develop Fish skin Gelatin, operating with the same production modalities which have always distinguished the company: qualified research and maximum care in the selection of raw materials. Fish gelatine is specifically manufactured according to the customers’ requests and the company has become known as able to supply “tailor made” solutions.
The products can be customised both in quality and packaging, Kosher and Halal certified gelatine also available upon request.

Thanks to a not too large scale production, Lapi Gelatine can dedicate all its commitment to the quality (ISO 9001:2008 certificate), to the service and the satisfaction of its market partners, that is to say its customers.

Collagen peptide is a white odourless powder, neutral in taste and easily soluble in cold liquids. The collagen peptide is made by hydrolysis process from type I collagen.

The same collagen as that found in human bones and skin.

It is a natural product containing more than 94 % protein (on a dry weight basis), contains 18 amino-acids, including 8 out of 9 essential amino-acids.

It is characterized by the predominance of glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which represent around 50 % of the total amino-acid content.

This specific composition of amino-acids provides collagen peptides with functional properties that cannot be found with other protein sources.

Collagen peptides are a versatile source of protein and an important element of healthy nutrition.

Their nutritional and physiological properties promote the health of bones and joints, and contribute to beautiful skin.

The product Lapi Collagen Peptides can be obtained from fish skin gelatine (Fish Collagen Peptide) or from bovine skin gelatine (Bovine Collagen Peptide).

The raw material for the production of collagen peptides is gelatine derived from animals skin.

The first step is to obtain the gelatine from the collagen, which is naturally present in the skin of animals: this is achieved through chemical treatment, extraction in water and purifi cation.

With the use of an enzyme, gelatine is then hydrolysed to collagen peptide.
