Peelable Gummy Candy: A Fun Twist on Traditional Gummies

With the rapid development of the gummy candy market, consumers’ demand for candy has long surpassed the basic standard of “delicious”. They expect more fun, interactivity and unique experiences. Peelable gummy candy is a new type of gummy candy that has emerged as a result. It is not only creative in appearance, but also brings unprecedented fun to consumers in taste and eating methods.

As a professional gummy candy manufacturer, LeChao has long focused on the innovative research and development and customized manufacturing of gummy candies. It has now included peelable gummy candy in its core product line and provides stable supply and OEM services to the global wholesale market.

What is Peelable Gummy Candy?

Peelable gummy candy, which can be called “peelable gummy candy” or “peeling gummy candy” in Chinese, is a fun gummy candy designed with a “skin + core” structure. When eating, consumers can manually “peel off” the outer layer of the gummy candy to reveal the inner gummy candy core with different tastes or colors, bringing a strong sense of interaction and fresh experience.

This kind of gummy candy usually has the following features:

• Double-layer structure: the outer skin is a tougher pectin layer, and the inner core is a soft fruit-flavored gel
• Multiple tastes: a bite, there is a layered feeling of “tough first and then elastic”
• Strong interactivity: suitable for children and teenagers to eat in a playful way
• Visual appeal: bright color combinations and unique appearance enhance shelf appeal

Differences in Manufacturing Process of Peelable Gummy Candy and Traditional Gummy Candy

Although peelable gummy candy is similar to traditional gummy candy in raw materials, usually based on raw materials such as gelatin, fructose, and fruit juice flavors, its structure and production process are much more complex than ordinary gummy candy, and it requires higher production line and process control. The following are the key differences between the two:

Double-Layer Structure Design

Traditional gummy candy is usually made by pouring into a single mold, with a unified structure and consistent texture. Peelable gummy candy requires the outer skin and inner core to be made separately, and then undergoes composite processes such as wrapping, laminating or secondary pouring to form a peelable layer.

Solidification Speed and Viscosity Control

The outer skin needs to be tougher than the inner core and have a certain “pulling feeling”. The colloid concentration, drying time and temperature-humidity ratio need to be controlled. If the outer layer is too thin and easy to break, and too thick will affect the taste, it is necessary to make precise adjustments in temperature, wind speed and moisture content.

Higher Requirements for Molds and Equipment

Ordinary gummy candy molds are single-layer designs. While peelable gummy candy may involve composite molds, secondary injection heads, and intelligent cooling systems, which put forward higher requirements for equipment compatibility.

The Packaging Process Needs to Be Gentler

Because peelable gummy candy is usually “softer” and “complex in shape”, a more flexible packaging process is required during the automated packaging process to avoid deformation or adhesion.

LeChao has achieved high automation, stable control and high yield in the production of peelable gummy candy, and is one of the few manufacturers in China that can mass-produce such products.

Popular Trends of Peelable Gummy Candy

In recent years, with the rise of Generation Z consumers, candy products have shown a clear trend of “playfulness, socialization and personalization” in design and function. Peelable gummy candy, as a representative category combining “fun interaction + multi-sensory experience”, has quickly gained market favor, especially in the following markets:

• Children’s snack food market: taking into account both toy and snack functions to enhance stickiness
• Social media content dissemination: suitable for shooting short videos, doing challenges, and improving brand interaction rate
