Snacking pleasure with fruit gums enriched with vitamins and fibre
More than snacking: Fruit gummies with triple boost. Vitamins and extra fibre for normal immune system function.
Today's consumers are looking for food that not only tastes delicious, but also adds value to their health. This also applies to products from the sweets shelf. Many know the pleasurable craving for something sweet. But you want to do without the guilty conscience after indulging. This desire after health and indulgence is reflected in the major trends in the food industry: Generation Health and A Feast for the Senses.
The new food concept from our IMCD expert kitchen combines both trends: the IMCD Immune Booster Fruit Gummies. The vegan and fibre-enriched fruit gummies contain both ginseng extract and vitamins and also beta-carotene. This triple boost contributes to a normal function of the immune system. In addition, the candy convinces with a delicious passion fruit flavour in different versions.
We have developed three product prototypes for your individual customer requirements. The three product prototypes differ in the following:
- Version 1: with natural flavour only.
- Version 2: with a combination of natural flavouring and passion fruit powder.
- Version 3: with passion fruit powder only.

The Immune Booster Fruit Gummies: Rich in vitamins, fibre and simply fruity and delicious.
Our vegan and fibre-enriched fruit gums fit perfectly with changing consumer trends and offer you the opportunity to position yourself as a pioneer in the industry.
Product requirements
Consumer demands on fruit gums are clear: the typical sweet and fruity taste should be in the foreground, and the colour and consistency should be in no way inferior to a familiar taste experience. The trend towards vegan products that also offer added health value must be taken into account at least as much.
Technical challenges
Despite the animal-free gelatine substitute, the typical texture and bite of conventional fruit gums should be retained. At the same time, the pectin substitute is more dependent on the sugar content, the pH value and has a different heat resistance. The fibre enrichment has an influence on the process and the viscosity of the mass during the cooking process and for this it must be ensured that vitamins are retained despite high temperatures.
Concept highlights of the IMCD Immune Booster Fruit Gummies:
- Vegetable raw materials (claim: vegan)
- Soluble maize fibre (high fibre)
- Natural flavours
- Passion fruit powder as a natural alternative
- Vitamins and ginseng extract as boosters for the immune system
- Beta-carotenoids as a colouring agent and health booster
