The production process is based on data for the production from pig skin from slaughterhouses which covers 80% of the gelatin production in Europe.
Livestock
The livestock production system represents a large scale production, intensive rearing with supplemented diet (amino acids and phytase). It is modeled based on data from Kebreab. et al. 2016 (peer reviewed scientific article). Please refer to this article for detailed data and specifications. In the following, a brief summary description is given:
Feed: The feed diet is intended to display regionally typical and representative feed compositions. Please refer to Kebreab et al. 2016 for detailed data on the feed composition. Production of feed ingredients is assessed based on GaBi datasets. Animal feed is usually processed in a feed mill before being fed to the animal, thus preparation of feed in a feed mill is included in the assessment.
Animal husbandry: Animal husbandry requires energy in the housing facilities, i.e. electricity for lighting, cooling, ventilation or feed distribution as well as thermal energy for heating. The manure management system is of high environmental importance (see below). Gaseous emissions from enteric fermentation of pigs are included, which mainly depend on the feed composition and animal development stage. For broiler, this emissions are not applicable.
Manure management: The excretions from animals lead to nitrogen and carbon based emissions to air (CH4, N2O, N2 and NH3) and – depending on the way of storage – potentially NO3- and PO4- emissions to water. Methane emissions from manure were calculated according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC 2006). Ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions were calculated on the basis of Jarvis and Pain (1994), IPCC (2006), Rigolot et al. (2010), and Dämmgen et al. (2013). Please refer to Kebreab et al. 2016 for details.
Besides emissions, manure generates a benefit to the system by providing essential nutrients for cash and feed crops. For manure applied on the field a credit is given according to the amount of N, phosphate, and potassium available for plant uptake (50% of contained N).
Slaughterhouse
The Slaughterhouse Model in GaBi is built based on the technical description available in EC 2005. Energy and water consumption, as well as emissions were made available in this overarching review of the status quo of European slaughterhouse processes. Average values from this study (Table 3.2) have been aggregated with energy & water consumption and product yields from other studies (PEF 2015, Blonk 2015, MacLeod, M. et al. 2013) to arrive at a reliable industry average. Carcass dressing ratio is ca. 75% in this model.
The main slaughterhouse processes are the following:
• Stunning
• Blood tapping
• Scalding - hot water (58-65C) bath to remove top layer epidermis and loosen hair and bristles
• Singeing - burning the residual hairs using propane or oil
• Evisceration - pulling out internal organs (offal)
• Splitting - taking out the spinal cord and splitting along it
• Chilling to 3-5°C
• Cutting - carcass halves are cut (boneless cut or semi-boneless cut)
Wastewater generated during the process is usually screened in internal wastewater treatment plants before it is diverted to the sewerage system for further treatment in municipal wastewater treatment plants (reflected in the model). Packing and freezing are not explicitly modelled (only insofar as part of the average slaughterhouse process energy). Distribution to customers also lies outside of the system boundaries.
The slaughterhouse process produces a number of valuable (by-)products:
- Pork retail cut (boneless or semi-boneless) incl. edible offal
- Pig blood
- Food and Gelatine grade by-products
- Pork fat (lard)
- Category 3 Slaughterhouse waste (for rendering) (inedible offal, carcass etc.)
Gelatine processing
The skin is cutted into pieces (about 10x10 cm) and washed in a tank to remove external fat. The pig skin pieces are then acidulated, in a tank, with dilute H2SO4 or HCl to a pH of about 1.8, for at least 5 hours. The acid solution is then removed and the pig skin pieces are then rinsed. The tank is filled with an alkaline solution to neutralise the pig skin pieces. The solution is then removed and the neutralised pig skins are rinsed, to reach a pH suitable for extraction of the gelatine
The gelatine is extracted from the neutralised pig skins with hot water. This involves about 5 steps, at rogressively higher temperatures, usually with no more than 10 ºC difference between steps and typically ranging between 50 - 60 ºC and 100 ºC. The gelatine concentration of the extract is normally 3 - 8 %.
The extract is filtered to remove any insoluble particles. The filtered extract is passed through an ion exchange resin to remove all the dissolved salts from the solution. After the solution comes from the ion exchangers the next step is to concentrate it. This facilitates the removal of water at relatively low temperatures in multiple-effect vacuum evaporators.
The concentrated gelatine solution is sterilised by direct steam injection
At this point, the extraction is considered complete and the water containing gelatin is dried, and the solid gelatin is granulated and ground to specifications.
Background system:
Electricity: Electricity from renewable and non- renewable powerplants is modelled so that it represents a country’s specific consumption mix including transmission / distribution losses, own consumption, imports, emissions and efficiency standards, and energy carrier properties. Several factors are taken into account. (1) Energy carrier production - The exploration, mining / production, processing, and transportation of energy carrier supply chains are modelled for each country. The models account for differences among countries in production and processing, including crude oil production technologies, flaring rates, production efficiencies, emissions, etc. (2) Energy carrier supply - Each country’s specific energy carrier supply is modelled, taking into account domestic supply versus imports from abroad. Energy carrier properties (e.g. carbon and energy content), which can vary depending from where an energy carrier is sourced, are adjusted accordingly. (3) Power plants - Models are created to represent energy carrier-specific power plants and electricity generation facilities specific to different renewable energy resources. Energy carrier production and supply models are used to represent power plant inputs. Combined heat and power (CHP) plants are also considered. (4) Electricity grid - Models representing the electricity generation facilities are combined into a larger model that reflects a country’s consumption mix. The larger model accounts for a country’s production mix, internal consumption (e.g. pumped storage for hydro power), transmission / distribution losses, and imported electricity. The country model is also adjusted according to national power plant emission and efficiency standards, as well as the country’s share of electricity plants versus CHP facilities.
Thermal energy, process steam: The thermal energy and process steam supply is modelled to reflect each country’s emission standards and typical energy carriers (e.g., coal, natural gas, etc.) Both thermal energy and process steam are assumed to be produced at heat plants. Thermal energy datasets assume energy carrier inputs are converted to thermal energy with 100% efficiency; process steam datasets assume conversion efficiencies of 85%, 90% to 95%. The energy carriers used for the generation of thermal energy and process steam are modelled according to each country’s import situation (see electricity above).
Transportation: All relevant and known transportation processes are included. Ocean-going and inland ship transport as well as rail, truck and pipeline transport of bulk commodities are considered.
Energy carriers: The energy carriers and their respective properties are modelled according to the specific supply situation (see electricity above).
Refinery products: Diesel fuel, gasoline, technical gases, fuel oils, lubricants and residues such as bitumen are modelled with a parameterised country-specific refinery model. The refinery model aims to represent each country’s refining processes (e.g. emissions levels, internal energy consumption, etc.), as well as the country’s product output spectrum, which can vary significantly among countries. The supply of crude oil is likewise modelled according to the country-specific situation and accounts for differences in resource properties (e.g., crude oil energy content).The product will be used as gelatin for human consumptionRenewables_Pig_GelatineLCI resultAttributionalNoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massNot applicableForeground system: For the foreground system, price allocation was applied
Background system: For the combined heat and power production, allocation by exergetic content is applied. For the electricity generation and by-products, e.g. gypsum, allocation by market value is applied due to no common physical properties. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied.

The documentation includes all relevant information in view of the data quality and scope of the application of the respective LCI result / data set. The dataset represents the state-of-the-art in view of the referenced functional unit.thinkstepIABP-GaBiIBP-GaBiOverall quality according to different validation schemes
GaBi = 2,3 interpreted into "good overall quality" in the GaBi quality validation scheme
ILCD = 2,6 interpreted into "basic overall quality" in the ILCD quality validation scheme
PEF = 2,3 interpreted into "good overall quality" in the PEF quality validation schemeThe dataset and systems, which are provided with our software and databases for public use into a broad user community, are constantly used, compared, benchmarked, screened, reviewed and results published in various external, professional and third party LCA applications in industry, academia and politics. So user feedback via the online GaBi forum or direct via user information is a standard routine in the maintenance and update process and leads to stable quality and constant control and improvement of data, if knowledge or technology improves or industrial process chains develop or change.GaBi user forumGaBi bug forumGaBi user communityGaBi conformity systemFully compliantFully compliantFully compliantFully compliantFully compliantNot definedUNEP SETAC Life Cycle InitiativeNot definedNot definedNot definedNot definedNot definedNot definedILCD Data Network - Entry-levelNot definedFully compliantFully compliantNot definedFully compliantNot definedthinkstepThis background LCI data set can be used for any types of LCA studies.thinkstep2019-02-01T00:00:00.000ILCD format 1.1thinkstepNo official approval by producer or operator2019-02-01T00:00:00.00000.00.001Data set finalised; entirely publishedGaBi databasesthinksteptrueOtherGaBi (source code, database including extension modules and single data sets, documentation) remains property of thinkstep AG. thinkstep AG delivers GaBi licenses comprising data storage medium and manual as ordered by the customer.
