Today the high school students were researching about by-products. There were two main questions that we had to answer and they were ‘What specific part of a beef cow does this come from?’ and ‘What process does it take to turn it into the by-product?’ Did you know that some cow fat called glycine is in dynamite?

I have researched about gelatine. The things that I found interesting was that gelatine is made from cattle’s skin, bones and connective tissue and that it goes through about 6 steps to get to gelatine. The first step is pre-treatment, extraction, purification, concentration, drying, milling, sieving and blending.

We all learned about how whips, gelatine, soap, chewing gum, explosives, how they were made and where they are found on a cow.
