The Arrival of Heat-Resistant Gelatin Gummies: A Game-Changer in the Snack World

2024-01-13


Snacks that make kids scream in delight are none other than candies. From the adorable bear-shaped gummy bears to the bouncy and fun Wang Zai QQ candies, or the light and fluffy marshmallows—each one is irresistible to children.

01 The Soul of Gelatin Gummies - Gelatin

The reason why bear gummies and QQ candies have become classic childhood treats for generations is closely related to their distinctive textures, and the unique texture of gelatin gummies is directly linked to its main component—gelatin.

Edible gelatin is derived from the collagen protein extracted from fresh animal skin or bones through a dozen processes. It possesses excellent transparency, elasticity, plasticity, and a chewy texture. When applied to gummy candies, it can create various cute and interesting shapes, offering a unique and resilient chewing experience.

Reportedly, over 60% of gelatin worldwide is used in the candy industry, widely applied in caramel, marshmallows, fruit juice gummies, rubber candies, and more. Gelatin, therefore, enriches the candy world, creating countless sweet and beautiful memories in the hearts of many.

02 The Weakness of Gelatin Gummies - Heat Sensitivity

Although gelatin has unique advantages and irreplaceability in the application of candies, it comes with a notable drawback: it is not heat-resistant!

Every summer, gelatin candies face a significant challenge:

  • They become sticky and deform above 35 degrees Celsius.
  • Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause severe deformation, even melting.
  • This directly affects the sensory and eating experience of gelatin candies.
