The Taste of Healthiness
Did you know, that the global gummy market is predicted to reach $42.06 billion by 2028*? About 37% of U.S. consumers prefer taking vitamins, minerals, or supplements in a gummy format. Younger consumers in particular find the idea of combining a healthier lifestyle with indulgence appealing.
Many bio-actives have an unpleasant taste or smell, which is undesirable in gummies. Our taste-masking technology based on CAVAMAX® can easily solve this problem.
Our Benefits for Your Nutra Gummy Solution:

The Perfect Solution for Your Desired Product Properties!
The ring-shaped CAVAMAX® cyclodextrins can mask the bad taste and bitterness of bio-actives via a process called molecular encapsulation. Cyclodextrins have a donut-shaped three-dimensional structure. The inside of this cavity is hydrophobic and tends to attract lipophilic bio-actives, thereby masking their bad taste and bitterness.
Alpha- and gamma-cyclodextrins in the EU only approved as novel foods.
