An innovative method for producing long-lasting sugar-free high-chew sweets.
Nutriose optimizes the texture of chewy sweets to give long-lasting, sugar-free chewiness.
Target
The target is to obtain a sugar-free sweet with a very chewy and elastic texture, which can be chewed for a long time. Standard chews are slightly elastic but tend to dissolve quickly in the mouth.
Technical aspects
Chewiness and duration in the mouth can be obtained with the use of NUTRIOSE® FB or FM 06 dextrin (soluble fibre), the optimization of fat content, and the appropriate ratio between liquid and crystalline phases of the candy. This chewy texture can even be obtained without gelatin (gelatin is replaced with a low DE maltodextrin, GLUCIDEX® 2).
Roquette is committed to helping confectionery producers develop tailor-made recipes for healthier & appealing products. Guideline formulations are available on demand for chewy sweets and most other types of hard and soft confectionery to be marketed Sugar reduced", "Sugarless" or "Rich in fibers".
