Sometimes there are other factors that influence the way gelatin sets up. Now remember: I tested these gelatins multiple times in different recipes, but I cannot guarantee these ratios will work in every single recipe. of gelatin when using either of the beef gelatins seems to do the trick. I actually thought that Knox would be much stronger in comparison, but an extra 1/4 tsp. of either THM Just Gelatin or Great Lakes gelatin. For every teaspoon of Knox gelatin used, use 1 + 1/4 tsp.THM Just Gelatin is just a little stronger than Great Lakes gelatin, but for all practical purposes, the same amount of the latter two can be used. Knox gelatin is the strongest of the three.I did notice a faint taste to the Great Lakes gelatin in the gummies, but it wasn’t overpowering. All of them smell bad, but as a general rule they don’t taste bad when used in something.While this may be caused by using less gelatin due to the strength of Knox gelatin, it also seems to be related to the fact that Knox gelatin dissolves more thoroughly than do the Great Lakes and THM brands. As you can see in the pictures, the green gummies (made with Knox gelatin) are more transparent than the yellow ( THM Just Gelatin) and blue (Great Lakes) gummies. Knox dissolves the best and leaves you with a clearer product.My starting hypothesis: Knox gelatin (a pork gelatin) is stronger than Great Lakes gelatin and THM Just Gelatin (both beef gelatins). I used the same recipes for all 3 gelatin brands but varied the amounts of gelatin I used to try to find the perfect ratios that gave me the same firmness. In order to test these gelatin brands, I made multiple batches of gummies and puddings.

Believe it or not, there are different types of gelatin with different strengths and weaknesses (literally – some set up firmer than others)! I finally got around to testing the three main brands that I’m familiar with – Knox, Great Lakes (the beef version), and THM Just Gelatin – and I’m here to share my findings.
