In the production of vegetarian and vegan gum confectionery, the combination of starch with pectin offers you a perfect alternative with many advantages over purely starch-based gum
confectionery.
✓ Shorter moulding time
✓ Less stickiness
✓ Better flavour release
✓ Increased throughput
✓ Earlier achievement of product firmness
✓ Reduced energy and storage costs
You can save up to 5% starch and replace it with just 1.1% pectin without losing any of the essential texture properties.
Decisive advantages are added: the use of pectin leads to a less sticky texture (Fig. 1). The change in product firmness over time is significantly reduced (Fig. 2). There are no significant changes in the process.
