Modified Tapioca Starch for Gummy Candy: Perfect Chewiness and Glossy Texture
Oct
Creating gummy candy with the perfect chewiness and shiny appearance is no longer a challenge. With Modified Tapioca Starch for gummy candy, manufacturers can achieve smooth elasticity, glossy texture, and consistent quality — all while maintaining a clean-label, plant-based formulation.
Among the most effective solutions, EXPORTVN’s Modified Tapioca Starch E1442 stands out for its exceptional performance in improving chewiness, preventing stickiness, and delivering stability throughout the candy-making process.
1. Why Texture Matters in Gummy Candy
Texture defines the identity of a gummy candy. Consumers expect each piece to be chewy, elastic, and glossy, not sticky or tough.
Traditional gelling systems like gelatin or pectin can create these properties, but they often face challenges under high temperature or acidic conditions.
That’s why more manufacturers are turning to Modified Tapioca Starch — a multifunctional ingredient that enhances texture stability and mouthfeel even in demanding production environments.
By integrating EXPORTVN E1442 tapioca starch, confectioners can:
- Reduce dependency on gelatin,
- Improve elasticity and smoothness,
- And develop vegan or halal-certified gummy products that align with today’s clean-label trends.
