What Ingredients Can We Put In Functional Gummies?
The Functional Gummy Market
The most common ingredients in gummies are corn syrup, sucrose, gelatin, starch and water, in addition, minor amount of colors and flavors are used to create better tastes and looks. However, gummies have jumped into nutraceutical industries by offering health benefits like dietary supplements do, and its growing like crazy.
The global Gummy Supplements market was valued at US$ 3,721.78 Mn in 2021 and is forecast to reach a value of US$ 56,712.00 Mn by 2030 at a CAGR of 4.88% between 2022 and 2030. North America held dominant position in the global Gummy Supplements market in 2020, accounting for 38.5% share in terms of volume, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific, respectively.
How are Gummies Made?
The production of gummies can be simplified into 5 steps:
1.?Compounding, where you mix the ingredients
2.?Heating & Dissolve, where the ingredients are dissolved into flowing liquid
3.?Depositing & Molding, where the liquid mixture is put into models to get formed
4.?Cooling & coating, where the hot liquid gets cool and the liquid form becomes solid, after cooling, the gummies can be coated with sugar or oil or other material, to improve flavor, texture, and moisture levels in gummies as well as prevent sticking.
5.?Packing, where the gummies are sorted and packed into bags, boxes or other packagings.
2 of the most challenging parts would be compounding and forming, if the ingredients can’t mix well, the gummies fail from the beginning, even though they can properly mix together(e.g. water soluble ingredients mixing with oil soluble ingredients), after heating and depositing into models, if you can’t achieve proper PH or else that the ingredients can’t form, then, the gummies fail too. Even though you are able to get a properly formed gummy, will it contain enough functional ingredients to meet the efficacy standard? So, selecting ingredients are rather important yet difficult.
