Gummy candy (gummy bears, gummy worms, pectin jellies, gelatin fruit shapes) is produced by cooking a sugar-glucose syrup solution with gelatin (animal-derived) or pectin/starch (plant-derived vegetarian alternatives), adding colour and flavour, and depositing the liquid mass into moulds where it cools and sets to a soft, elastic texture. The two main moulding systems are: starch mogul systems (the candy syrup is deposited into impressions formed in trays of fine starch powder — starch acts as both the mould and absorbs surface moisture from the gummy during conditioning; after setting, the starch is removed and recycled; the classic system used for most commercial gummy production); and silicone mould systems (the candy syrup is deposited into silicone or thermoplastic moulds — no starch required, but conditioning still required; more capital-intensive but cleaner and easier to maintain). After moulding and conditioning (typically 24–48 hours), gummy pieces are demoulded, coated with oil or sanding sugar, and packed.
Frequently asked questions
What gelatin alternatives are available for vegetarian gummy production?
Traditional gummy candy uses porcine or bovine gelatin as the gelling agent. For vegetarian, vegan, halal-certified, or kosher-certified gummy products, gelatin-free alternatives include: pectin (fruit-derived hydrocolloid — produces firmer, less elastic gummies than gelatin; widely used for vegetarian and vegan gummies); starch (provides a more opaque, softer texture); carrageenan (seaweed-derived — can produce a gelatin-like texture but requires careful formulation); and konjac (konjac-based gummies have unique texture properties). The choice of gelling agent affects the texture, clarity, melting resistance, and mouthfeel of the gummy significantly — reformulation with gelatin alternatives typically requires product development work to match the texture and mouthfeel of a gelatin original. Machinery compatibility with the gelling agent selected must also be confirmed with the supplier.
What is the conditioning time for gummy candy?
After depositing, gummy candy requires a conditioning period during which the mass sets and moisture equilibration occurs between the gummy and the surrounding starch (in mogul systems) or the ambient air (in silicone mould systems). The conditioning time depends on the gummy formulation, piece size, gelatin concentration, and the temperature and humidity of the conditioning room. In mogul systems, gummy pieces typically remain in the starch trays for 24–48 hours at a controlled temperature (often 20–25°C with controlled humidity) before demoulding. The conditioning room environment is a critical process parameter — too warm or too humid slows conditioning and may cause surface problems; too cold or too dry causes excessive moisture loss. A well-designed conditioning room (with temperature and humidity control) is an important part of the overall line design.
