The aim of
this research was to produce natural ingredients-based gummy bear composition,
evaluate the influence of the selected ingredients on the textural properties
of the product and its acceptance by the consumers, and the evaluation of the
gummies' quality. Gummy bears were prepared using Zingiber officinale
powder-containing chewable gels (CGs) based on gelatin, pectin, and agar-agar gelling
agents. The CGs was characterized for their dissolution time, stability,
microbial quality, swelling ratio, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness, as well
as the interaction between these factors. F2 which met all the required
physical characteristics for chewable-gummies, exhibiting no syneresis during
storage, and providing superior texture compared to other formulations.
