How are vitamin gummies made?

Vitamin gummies are made through a precise mixing and molding process, where specific ingredients are combined to create the final gummy product.

The Manufacturing Process

The creation of vitamin gummies typically follows these key steps:

Ingredient Preparation:
- The process begins with carefully weighing out the necessary components. This usually includes:
  - Gelatin: This acts as the gelling agent that gives the gummies their chewy texture.
  - Sugar: This provides sweetness and contributes to the overall structure.
  - Corn Syrup: Another sweetener that also helps with the texture and consistency.
  - Water: This is essential to dissolve the other ingredients and create a suitable mixture.
  - Vitamin Premix: This is a blend of the specific vitamins and minerals that the gummies will deliver.
Mixing:
- All the weighed ingredients, including gelatin, sugar, corn syrup, water, and the vitamin premix, are added into a large mixer.
- The components are mixed until they are fully combined and homogenous. The exact proportions vary to achieve the desired texture, sweetness, and nutritional value.
Molding and Setting:
- After mixing, the warm mixture is transferred into molds of various shapes and sizes.
- The gummies are then allowed to set, typically in a cooling environment, which causes the gelatin to solidify and the gummies to take their final form.
Finishing:
- Once the gummies have set, they are often coated with a non-stick layer or a final flavoring, before being packaged.
Quality Control: Throughout the process, strict quality controls are applied to ensure uniformity and correct vitamin dosage.
