1.Difference between Gelatin and Plant Gum as Additives in Gummies
Gelatin:
Derived from animal collagen (skin, bones, connective tissues).
Creates a smooth, firm texture with a traditional chew that dissolves easily.
Not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Plant Gum (e.g. Carrageenan, Pectin):
Sourced from plants, offering a vegan-friendly alternative.
Produces gummies that are slightly firmer than gelatin-based ones.
Suitable for broader consumer preferences, including those avoiding animal products.
