Gumdrops are a timeless confectionery favorite, but traditional formulations rely heavily on gelatin, making them unsuitable for vegan consumers. As demand for plant-based sweets continues to grow, innovative texture solutions are more important than ever.
With VIVAPUR® Alginate FDG 3001, we offer a vegan alternative to gelatin that opens new possibilities for gumdrop and gummy formulations. This advanced alginate delivers a unique texture positioned between gelatin and pectin, combining pleasant elasticity with a clean bite and excellent mouthfeel.
VIVAPUR® Alginate FDG 3001 enables the creation of fully vegan gumdrops and gummies while maintaining the sensory qualities consumers expect: chewiness, shape stability, and an enjoyable eating experience. It allows confectioners to formulate a wide variety of products without animal-derived ingredients, supporting modern, plant-based product concepts.
Whether classic gumdrops, fruit gummies, or functional formats, this solution proves that going vegan doesn’t mean giving up on texture or enjoyment, making it a perfect fit for Gumdrop Day and beyond.
