FloZein Products’ Coatings Add Value to the Gummy Industry

The gummy market, spanning everything from classic confections to high-demand edibles and nutritional supplements, has grown exponentially as consumers seek fun, flavorful, and convenient delivery formats. However, manufacturers face unique production challenges when creating these gelatin-based products, particularly with issues like stickiness, shape retention, and ingredient stability. FloZein’s innovative line of zein-based coatings and MasterCoat? products delivers reliable, high-performance solutions that address these challenges, enhancing quality, ease of production, and consumer satisfaction across the gummy industry.

The Power of Zein-Based Coatings in Gummy Applications

Zein, a corn-derived protein, has gained popularity as a coating material in the food and supplement industries thanks to its natural origin, excellent barrier properties, and compatibility with various formulations. In gummies, zein coatings provide a distinct set of benefits that enhance both product performance and consumer appeal:

• Enhanced Stability and Durability

Forms a protective layer around the gummy, offering moisture resistance and extending shelf life.

Zein’s barrier properties help retain the gummy’s original quality, preventing degradation and maintaining a fresh appearance over time.

• Clean-Label, Allergen-Friendly Solutions

Plant-based, gluten-free zein meets clean-label standards, appealing to the growing number of consumers seeking bio-based, allergen-friendly products.

Zein coatings support vegan and vegetarian formulations, especially useful for supplement gummies that need plant-based options to appeal to a broader health- conscious market.

• Taste and Aroma Preservation

The natural barrier properties of zein help lock in flavors and aromas, enhancing the consumer experience.

For edibles and supplements that may contain strong flavors or active ingredients, zein ensures a pleasant, consistent taste experience without unpleasant aftertastes.

MasterCoat?: Anti-Stick and Mold Release Solutions

FloZein’s MasterCoat? line further enhances gummy production by solving two critical issues: stickiness and mold release. MasterCoat? products provide targeted benefits that streamline production, improve product quality, and reduce waste.

• Anti-Stick Performance: Gummies are prone to sticking together during production, packaging, and storage, which can compromise quality and presentation. MasterCoat’s anti-stick coatings prevent this, ensuring each gummy remains separate and easy to handle. This anti-stick solution is especially valuable for large-scale operations where production speed and efficiency are key.
• Mold Release Agents: Removing gummies from molds without damaging their shape is a common challenge in gummy manufacturing. MasterCoat? mold release agents simplify this process by creating a non-stick surface, allowing each gummy to retain its intended shape and visual appeal. This reduces waste and improves production speed, ultimately contributing to higher yields and reduced labor costs.

Value Across Confectionery, Edibles, and Supplements

FloZein’s solutions meet the diverse needs of the gummy industry, from traditional confectionery to high-quality edibles and nutraceuticals. By offering enhanced stability, moisture resistance, and ease of handling, FloZein coatings and MasterCoat? products help manufacturers create gummies that look, taste, and perform better, while also meeting clean-label and allergen-free standards. This versatility makes FloZein’s offerings valuable for brands that prioritize quality, efficiency, and consumer satisfaction.
