PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a low-allergenic pepsin-degraded gelatin having gelling ability and useful as a food material or in medical use, and to provide a method for its production. SOLUTION: This gelatin is a low-allergenic pepsin-treated gelatin having gelling ability and obtained by treating gelatin with pepsin. The weight average molecular weight of this low-allergenic pepsin-degraded gelatin is over 20,000 and the allergenicity thereof is lower than that of gelatin as the raw material by >=20%. This gelatin is produced, for instance, by treating gelatin with pepsin for 2-8 h. |
