Used in the pharmaceutical and food industries, purified acacia gums have always offered unique functions in confectionery and pastille production.

  • gelling agents for gum confectionery
  • whipping agents for chewy confectionery
  • film-forming agents for coating
  • compression agents for tablets and pastilles
GUM CONFECTIONERY: GELLING AGENTS

Specific SPRAYGUM™ and INSTANTGUM™ qualities have been designed for confectionery applications.

SPRAYGUM™ is obtained through the spraydrying of a purified acacia gum solution. Such solutions are obtained after centrifugation, filtration, micro-filtration or sterilization.

SPRAYGUM™ gives solutions free of impurities with a bacterial quality in compliance with the food industry requirements. INSTANTGUM™ is obtained through a brand new drying system, allowing INSTANTGUM™ to go into solution very quickly. INSTANTGUM™ has numerous advantages one being the capacity when dry-blended with other ingredients, to be solubilised directly by steam injection using very little water to produce masses with a very high concentration of dry substance (+80%).

Ready-to-use SPRAYGUM and INSTANTGUM are suitable for all types of equipment used in confectionery (batch cooker, continous cooker, thin layer evaporator, extruder, etc...)

CHEWY CONFECTIONERY: WHIPPING AGENTS
Designed for chewy candy and whipped confectionery, WHIPGUM™ combines acacia gum with vegetable proteins. Thanks to its whipping and plasticising properties, it is recommended as a replacement for gelatine. Used in very low doses in the final product (1-2%), WHIPGUM™ produces a supple, melting and soft texture.
TABLETS & PASTILLES: COMPRESSION AGENTS
C
SPRAYGUM™ C is suitable for all tablet and pastille production processes, in wet granulation as well as direct compression. Used with other compression agents (micro-crystalline cellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, etc), SPRAYGUM™ C improves the cohesion of tablets. Its specific structure helps retain flavours, protects medicinal substances and favours the chelation of mineral salts (potassium, calcium...) which as a consequence are more easily assimilated by humans.

 

PAN COATING APPLICATIONS: GUMMING

COATINGUM™ has been developed to protect the centre of coated products (chocolate, dried fruit, chewing gum, liqueur, seeds, nuts) against external humidity or oxidation. Its film-forming properties avoid bursting of the sugar film and prevent the formation of spots.

COATINGUM™ allows more rapid coating and its barrier effect is optimal with very low dosage (30 to 35% of concentration in solution). With its excellent adhesive properties, COATINGUM™ can be used in combination with other ingredients, as a dusting agent. It also prevents the migration of fat between two phases and favours the adherence of insoluble particles (spices, salt, powder, cocoa, etc...)

Available in different grades, COATINGUM™ is used in the production of sugar or polyol based coating. Suitable for all manufacturing process, it offers considerable productivity gains in comparison with traditional acacia gum or replacement starches as some stages are shortened or even eliminated altogether.

A gumming agent, Spraygum , is a spray dried Acacia Gum with good dissolution properties. Spraygum is purified and pasteurised, is ready-to-use and guarantees high quality.

The film-forming ability of Acacia gum is used to protect the centre of coated products (chocolate, dried fruit, chewing-gum, liqueurs, nuts). Spraygum can be combined with other ingredients, as a dusting agent. It also prevents the migration of fat between centres and coating.

Available in different grades, Spraygum is suitable for all manufacturing process. It offers considerable productivity gains in comparison with traditional Acacia Gum or starches.
SPRAYCOAT® is an association of Acacia Gum with sugar or polyol. This ready-to-use mix can be used in solution for the precoating step or direct, for drying after dusting. It's a time and money-saving solution for gumming
PAN COATING APPLICATIONS: FILM FORMING

Acacia gum in the form of INSTANTGUM® is the essential ingredient for polyol hard coating. It delays the rate of polyol crystallisation. The film forming properties of Instantgum give a uniform coating.

INSTANTGUM® is an agglomerated powder, which is purified and pasteurised. Its faster solubility and wetting capacity make it easier to process and more suitable for use in solution.

PAN COATING APPLICATIONS: POLISHING

POLISPRAY® is used to glaze products coated with dark, milk or white chocolate.

POLISPRAY® is an aqueous emulsion, which combines Acacia Gum and Vegetable Oil. It can be dispersed on the products in the pan coating system and dried with cold dry air.
PAN COATING APPLICATIONS: VARNISHING

The chocolate-coated products glazed with POLISPRAY® must be sealed with a varnish. Sprayseal is a sealing agent used as a protection against moisture. It maintains the final glazing aspect of the products even if they come in contact with carriers having high moisture content. It is also suitable for inclusions in ice cream or cakes.

SPRAYSEAL® may also be used as a protection for non-coated products.

SPRAYSEAL® is a stabilised solution of Shellac in alcohol. It can be applied manually or with an automatic spraying system onto the product in the pan coating system. It has to be dried with cold dry air to allow the alcohol fumes to evaporate.
