Benefits of Carrageenan in Puddings and Gummy Bears

Carrageenan, a natural gelling agent derived from red seaweed, enhances puddings and gummy bears with its plant-based functionality. Offering stability, texture and elasticity, it helps create products that are indulgent, reliable and consumer-friendly.
Formulated for consistent gelling performance, Carrageenan ensures smoothness, chewability and room-temperature stability. In puddings, it provides a creamy mouthfeel, prevents water separation and keeps desserts fresh and visually appealing. In gummy bears, it delivers elasticity, gloss and excellent flavor release, making it a versatile solution for both desserts and confectionery.
For puddings, Carrageenan ensures a smooth, creamy texture while setting firmly at room temperature. Its natural stabilizing properties maintain freshness and visual appeal, while being fully vegetarian and offering an ideal alternative to gelatin.
In gummy bears, Carrageenan provides high gel strength, elasticity, the perfect chew, along with a clear and glossy finish that enhances appearance and flavour. It also supports the development of nutraceutical gummies and combining functionality with consumer appeal.
