Description
Double Texture:
The most distinctive feature is the contrast between the firmer, chewy gummy shell and the softer, liquid-like jelly filling inside.
Flavor Intensification:
The jelly filling is often fruit-flavored, providing a concentrated burst of flavor.
Variety:
These candies come in many shapes and themes, such as cola bottles, turtles, roses, or brains, each with distinct flavor profiles.
Typical Ingredients
Sweeteners:
Glucose syrup, sugar, and invert sugar syrup are used to create the candy's sweetness and texture.
Gelling Agents:
Gelatine (from animals) or pectin (from plants) provides the firm, chewy quality of the gummy outer layer.
Acids and Flavorings:
Citric acid and other acids, along with flavorings and fruit/vegetable concentrates (like carrot, radish, or blackcurrant), give the candy its taste.
Humectants:
Sorbitols help maintain moisture and a soft texture.
Oils and Glazing Agents:
Vegetable oils (like palm oil) and carnauba wax or beeswax are used to give the candy a smooth, glossy finish and prevent sticking
