Secure sweet stability:
Craft consistent, captivating confectionery with Corbion
A universal guilty pleasure, confectionery continues to grow in popularity across the globe.1 Driven by time-pressed consumers seeking convenient options for both snacking and indulgence, a rise in demand for vegan alternatives and a hankering for exciting flavors and textures, this sustained growth means confectioners are facing demand like never before.
In a competitive market, flavor and stability are crucial markers of quality. Choosing the right ingredients to add to your candy formulations can help prevent the loss of quality – from production line to pantry. Whether that’s the loss of flavor over time, the degradation of texture or sugar inversion, Corbion’s range of acidulants, buffers and sanding powders can help.

Discover our solutions for…
Soft confectionery
We’re known for our expertise across different soft candy formats – think gummies, jellies and chews. Our PURAC® Powder, for example, has been developed for effective acid-sanding, to give your candy the long-lasting, sour kick it needs, with no compromise on stability. Our PURAC Powder solution can also be used to add an additional sour dimension to candies, in the sugar layers or in the fillings – for example, in the thin layers of hard-panned candy. Meanwhile, our range of acids and buffers ensure that sugar inversion is never a threat to your products.

Hard confectionery
From lollipops to hard-boiled sweets and candy canes, hard confectionery is a hit with children and adults alike. For hard candy manufacturers, however, sugar inversion is a notorious hurdle. But it can be easily overcome with Corbion’s lactic acid-based solutions, which not only prevent sugar inversion, but also enhance flavor.
