Making healthier gummy formulations
Consumers are becoming more and more conscious about health and are looking for (slightly) more healthy alternatives.
Talking about health, there is also a trend in switching from sugar to sugar-free ingredients. This way sugar-reduced and sugar-free gums and jellies can be made. There is a whole world of different sugar-free ingredients, for example inulin, FOS, maltitol, xylitol and other fibers that can be used to get gums and jellies with the desired flavour and texture. Sugar-free ingredients are known for they laxative effect though and therefore it is not always a great option as a replacer for your indulgent moment.
Test your vegan or sugar-reduced recipes at the Tanis Innovation Center.
Sugar-free and sugar-reduced are popular claims to be put on gums and jellies. Next to that there are much more claims that are used. Think of the claim vegan or gluten-free. Vegan is a very big trend in the sugar confectionery as more people prefer plant based option for animal well-being, more environmental friendly or for religious reasons. For all claims there are options when selecting the right ingredients. Nevertheless, the recipe development is important and pilot testing as well, to see how the recipes behave during processing and in the sensory testing is important to check if the newly developed gummies are as tasty as wanted
