Gelatin is a very popular pharmaceutical and food ingredient and the most studied ingredient in Halal researches. Interest in source gelatin authentication is based on religious and cultural beliefs, food fraud prevention and health issues. Seven gelatin authentication methods that have been developed include: nucleic acid based, immunochemical, electrophoretic analysis, spectroscopic, mass-spectrometric, chromatographic-chemometric and chemisorption methods. These methods are time consuming, and require capital intensive equipment with huge running cost. Reliability of gelatin authentication methods is challenged mostly by transformation of gelatin during processing and close similarities among gelatin structures. This review concisely presents findings and challenges in this research area and suggests needs for more researches on development of rapid authentication method and process-transformed gelatins.
明胶是一种非常受欢迎的制药和食品成分，也是清真研究中研究最多的成分。对明胶来源鉴定的兴趣基于宗教和文化信仰、食品欺诈预防以及健康问题。已开发的七种明胶鉴定方法包括：基于核酸的方法、免疫化学方法、电泳分析、光谱分析、质谱分析、色谱化学计量法和化学吸附法。这些方法耗时，需要资金密集型设备且运行成本高昂。明胶鉴定方法的可靠性主要受到加工过程中明胶的转化以及明胶结构之间的高度相似性的挑战。本综述简要介绍了该研究领域的研究结果和挑战，并提出了对快速鉴定方法和加工转化明胶的更多研究需求。
