With rising demand for plant-based ingredients across categories, Gelamyl 625 signals the next generation of plant-based gelling agents. It can be used to create chewy textures – even when dried at ambient temperature. The result is a guaranteed heat-stable product.
The ability to dry at 25 °C (77 °F) and above makes it easier to create sugar confectionery with potato-based gelling agents. Gelamyl 625 can fully or partially replace gelatin in gummy candy to attain a more heat-stable product with a chewy bite and several texture options.
Another new addition is Gelamyl 805 which offers new, elastic textures for fully plant-based sugar confectionery. Gelamyl 805 is the latest product in the 800-series. It offers manufacturers more options to explore innovative textures and make their products stand out.
Gelamyl from KMC is a series of versatile potato-based gelling agents for sugar confectionery. With Gelamyl it is possible to produce anything from soft gummies and jellies to firm English wine gums all the way to fruit pastilles with a hard surface. Like all KMC ingredients Gelamyl is based on modified potato starch from locally grown potatoes.
