How to craft gummy bears in 8 simple steps
Creating gummy bears demands specialized equipment and meticulous processes. Tanis’s Innovation Center has created an easy path for creating your perfect gummy candy production line.
It all starts with precise measuring
- Dose the essentials
Start by accurately dosing ingredients using a premix vessel, ensuring the perfect balance of sweetness and texture.
- Enhance the sweetness
Utilize specialized equipment like a powder screw feeder or vacuum transport to expertly dose crystal sugar into the premix vessel, elevating the sweetness of your gummy bears.
- Dose the gelling agent and syrup precisely
Achieve the signature chewy texture by precisely dosing gelling agents and syrup, with liquid balancing playing a crucial role in maintaining consistency.
- Cook the gummy mass
Cook the premix in buffer vessels using steam-powered cookers tailored to specific gummy types, then employ vacuum cooling to reach the desired dry solid content.
- Add color and flavor
Enhance taste and appearance by blending post-cook ingredients like acid, color, and flavor in the ABS vessel.
- Deposit with precision
Utilize a depositor to fill iconic gummy bear cavities with precision, creating various sizes to suit your preferences.
- Cure and Condition
Ensure optimal quality by subjecting trays to curing in conditioned rooms, transforming liquid into shelf-stable gummies, and utilizing demoulders to remove the candies.
- Perfect the presentation
Add the finishing touches with an oiling drum for a glazing agent or a sanding drum for a textured sugar layer, preparing your gummy bears for packaging.
And that’s it!
Crafting perfect gummy bears demands precision at every step. From accurate dosing and enhancing sweetness to precise gelling and cooking, each stage contributes to the desired texture and flavor. With meticulous attention to detail, you can ensure consistency and quality, resulting in shelf-stable treats ready for presentation. It’s this commitment to excellence that the experts at Tanis can lend you a hand in!
