Wine gums 300g

Description

• Texture and Taste: Wine gums have a distinctively firm and chewy texture. They are flavored with fruit, and while often named after alcoholic drinks like port or sherry, they contain no actual wine or alcohol. 

• Shapes and Flavors: They come in various shapes and are identified by different fruit and "wine" flavorings, though the specific flavors can vary by manufacturer. 

• Nutritional Information: Wine gums are high in sugar and carbohydrates but contain no fat. 

Common Ingredients

While formulations vary by brand, the core ingredients typically include:

• Sweeteners: Glucose syrup and sugar are the primary sweetening agents. 

• Gelling Agent: Gelatine, derived from animal sources (like beef or pork), is used to give them their gummy texture. 

• Acids: Malic acid, acetic acid, and citric acid are used to provide tartness and balance the sweetness. 

• Flavorings: Natural or artificial fruit flavorings give them their taste. 

• Colorants: A mix of natural and artificial colors, such as anthocyanins, paprika extract, and lutein, provide the candy's vibrant hues. 

• Other Ingredients: Modified starches (like corn or potato starch), water, vegetable oils (palm, coconut, or sunflower), and glazing agents (carnauba wax or beeswax) are common additions.
