Sugar-beet carb used for tooth-friendly gum

Thomas Schmidt, marketing manager at Beneo, comments: “The bubble gum category is all about pleasure and indulgence; however, we’re well aware of parents’ concerns surrounding dental health and understand this is a big factor for them when choosing confectionery. With Palatinose, manufacturers can add a health dimension to their bubble gum range, without compromising on taste, texture or processability. By combining tooth-friendly properties with a great chewing experience, this new emerging category is set to stimulate bubble gum markets across the globe.”​

Palatinose’s technical qualities are said to offer high-form stability and reduced stickiness for easy machinability and cleaning. If pellet gum is required, Palatinose enables smooth coatings with a pleasant crunch. Its nutritional and technological benefits also make it suitable for other tooth-friendly confectionery products such as chocolate, candies, jellies and gums.
