HARD AND SOFT CANDY
“Although most activity in the functional/nutraceutical sector has been in the jelly and gummy sectors, some medicated products are better suited to the slow- release delivery characteristics provided by hard candy”
include vitamins A, C and E. Commenting on its latest product range, Sarah Auguste, Vice President of Marketing at YumEarth, says: “We introduced the YumEarth Ultimate line last year, inspired by the functional food trend. We started the line with anti-oxidant and elderberry lollipops and recently added the Ginger Lemon Chews. Gut health plays a key role in overall well-being, and we believe that infusing our candies with these ingredients makes them more appealing to consumers.””
Automated production
From simple ball lollipops right through to 3D lollipops with fi llings of gum, chewy candy powders or pastes, GEA claims to have suitable processing and packaging technology. The company can offer user friendly and fl exible fully-
automated solutions with integrated controls, monitoring and interfacing software. GEA works in partnership with its customers to help them devise new lollipop fl avours and forms to continue to delight consumers. Its Aquarius lollipop equipment line, for example, can cater for all requirements – from hard candy ball lollipops with or without fi lling, fl at lollipop shapes or 3D lollipop shapes – providing a complete solution, including forming, cooling and wrapping of hard candy lollipops.
Starchless solutions
At Interpack this year Makat Candy Technology, a Syntegon company, demonstrated a turnkey solution for the starchless production of nutraceutical candy. “In starchless production, jelly masses must achieve a high dry substance content to eliminate the need for moisture removal via starch after depositing. Nutraceutical production also calls for high dosing and depositing accuracy to ensure the right supplement content in gummies – throughout the entire production process. Our new turnkey line meets these requirements,” explains Dr.
