A method of manufacturing gelatin with reduced endotoxin content. The
method comprises processing a starting material gelatin-containing
solution containing gelatin and an endotoxin with an ultrafiltration film
having a molecular weight cut-off falling within a range of from 20,000
to 300,000 and having a molecular weight cut-off capable of passing at
least a portion of the gelatin contained in the starting material
gelatin-containing solution to obtain a permeate that is a
gelatin-containing solution with a reduced endotoxin content. A gelatin
having an average molecular weight falling within a range of 1,000 to
300,000 and an endotoxin content of less than 1 EU/mL per 1.0 percent of
protein.
