Abstract

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.
