Stefan Wessel & Wybren Bakker, Confectionery applications specialists at Avebe

A renowned confectionery producer was having to cope with long drying times for their starch-based gummies, limiting their production capacity. Their energy costs were too high, and factory output was down due to the increased drying time compared to the gelatin gummies they used to make. As a result, the company was looking for a way to reduce drying time without making investments in the production process. They also wanted to achieve a firmer texture in their gummies, without having to change the recipe.

By adding PerfectaGEL^® FS on top of their current recipe, the company was able to reduce drying time by 25%. This allowed them to simultaneously increase factory output, and lower energy costs per gummy. While also producing firmer, more sustainable gummies.
