A study from Ozyegin University and Middle East Technical University explored the optimal formulation and storage conditions for gummy candies. By varying ingredients and observing storage conditions, they found that starch content did not impact candy hardness or molecular bond length. The research could help improve gummy candy shelf life and quality across various climates.

Dozens of ingredient and storage combinations reveal what factors make some gummies harder than others and how product formulation affects shelf life. For gummy candies, texture might be even more important than taste. Biting into a hard, stale treat is disappointing, even if it still carries a burst of sweetness. Keeping gummies in good condition depends on their formulation and storage, both of which alter how the molecules in the candies link together.

To tackle these questions, the group adjusted a variety of inputs while making the gummies, from the glucose syrup-to-sucrose ratio to starch and gelatin concentrations. They wanted to understand how these changes affected features like candy texture, moisture content, and pH. They then studied the resulting features of the candies before and after storage. Storage conditions varied from 10 to 30 degrees
