Is Gelatine the same as shortening?

- Gelatine is a colorless, flavorless, and odorless protein derived from the collagen in the bones, skin, and connective tissue of animals. It is used as a gelling agent in food, such as in desserts, candies, and aspics. Gelatine can also be used as a thickening agent in soups, sauces, and gravies.

- Shortening is a solid fat that is used in baking to make baked goods lighter and more tender. Shortening is typically made from vegetable oils, such as soybean oil or canola oil. Shortening can also be made from animal fats, such as lard.
