PerfectaGEL®
PerfectaGEL® for original-like, cost effective gummies without the drying bottleneck
PerfectaGEL® is a potato starch-based ingredient system that helps you create cost-effective vegan gummies with the firm, elastic bite consumers expect from gelatin. Its unique quick-gelling and fast-setback properties reduce drying time from days to hours, helping to lower production costs, increase factory output and produce more in less time. PerfectaGEL® integrates as a drop-in solution with existing starch-based gummy lines and delivers consistent shelf-life stability across both small-batch and large-scale production.

Reduced drying time, increased output, lower energy costs
A confectionery producer reduced gummy drying time by 25% with PerfectaGEL® FS, increasing factory output and lowering energy costs, while achieving a firmer texture without changing the existing recipe.

Stable foamed candy without gelatin: PerfectaSOL® in a high-salt application
Foamed candy presents one of the most demanding conditions in confectionery processing. Liquorice is inherently high in salt, which actively disrupts the foaming and gelling behaviour of gelatin, causing instability in the final product and limiting shelf life. For producers looking to move to a plant-based formulation, the challenge is compounded: most plant-based alternatives that can foam at all perform poorly in high-salt environments.
PerfectaSOL® resolves this directly.
Less time in the dryer
Reduce costs and boost production with PerfectaGEL®:
- Shorter drying time: reduce drying time up to 50% and save energy
- Increase factory output: produce more gummies in a shorter time
- Lower production cost: less energy per gummy lowers your cost per unit
- Drop-in solution: easily integrates with existing starch-based gummy production
- Scalable & reliable: works for both small-batch and large-scale production lines.
Two routes, one toolbox
PerfectaGEL® FS: clean label potato starch, added at around 1% on top of your existing recipe. It cuts drying time by up to 50% with no recipe change and declares simply as potato starch.
PerfectaGEL® ISET: modified potato starch, used at around 15% as the primary starch in your recipe. It brings setting and drying down from around 72 hours to around 3, for the fastest set and maximum drying capacity.
Results depend on recipe, solids, acidity and drying conditions. Our application specialists validate the right route for your line.
Beyond the starch mogul
The near-instant set of PerfectaGEL® ISET also opens up production without mogul starch, including rigid mould and pin-ejected systems. That removes starch handling, conditioning and dust from the process, and shortens the route from depositing to packing.
Tasty vegan treats
PerfectaGEL® lets you move to a fully vegan gummy without sacrificing the texture and taste of gelatin-based products.Higher gelling capacity, quick setting and shelf-life stability make it a practical route into plant-based confectionery, andbecause it integrates as a drop-in solution , the switch is easier than you might expect.
Different formats
For marshmallows, foamed candy and aerated formats, our PerfectaSOL® range delivers the foaming and emulsifying functionality. PerfectaGEL® and PerfectaSOL® are often used together in aerated gummy and multi-layered confectionery.
