Confectionery

Gelatin is widely applied in confectionery. It can be used alone or in combination with other texturizers to manufacture products such as gummybears, wine gums, pastilles, yogurt gums, deposited liquorice, fruit chews, etc.

Different textures and firmness characteristics canbe obtained by:

Varying the Gelatine content: the more Gelatine,the chewier theproduct.

Replacing one Gelatine with another quality of differing gelstrength: for the same firmness in the finished product, a less high bloom isneeded to substitute for low bloom, resulting in a lesschewy product.
