Jungbunzlauer Unveils Innovative Mineral Solutions for Gummies at IFT FIRST 2025
At the upcoming IFT FIRST 2025 event set in Chicago, Jungbunzlauer, renowned for its commitment to high-quality, sustainable ingredients sourced from nature, will showcase its latest advancements in the gummy supplement sector. With the gummy supplement market projected to soar to
$52.2 billion by 2030, it is clear that consumer preferences are shifting towards these appealing alternatives over traditional tablets. Additionally, nearly
two-thirds of U.S. adults now prefer gummy supplements, presenting an exciting opportunity for brands eager to innovate and cater to this growing demand.
What makes Jungbunzlauer's approach stand out is their focus on organic mineral salts that have shown promise in creating inviting flavors and effective nutritional delivery. Their product line includes well-established ingredients like zinc and calcium citrates, complemented by a newly developed, finer magnesium citrate granulation. This combination aims to provide a better sensory experience by enhancing flavor and texture while ensuring enhanced bioavailability, particularly in gummy applications.
Key Innovations
Jungbunzlauer's latest research and development have led to solutions that blend ideal fine-micronized granulation with accurately tuned processing parameters. This scientific approach empowers formulators to improve sensory profiles that resonate with consumers. Key features of the new formulations include:
- - High Bioavailability: Organic citrate salts that ensure consumers absorb nutrients more effectively.
- - Improved Texture: The micronized formulations help eliminate sandy textures for a smoother experience.
- - Nutrient Density: High dosages are achievable, allowing for significant health claims.
- - Neutral Taste & Odor: Maintains palatability even at peak fortification levels.
- - Excellent Dispersibility: Ensures uniformity in texture and distribution in gummy products.
- - Versatility in Use: Suitable for both pectin and gelatine-based recipes, catering to diverse consumer needs.
Markus Gerhart, the Senior Director of the Mineral and Solutions portfolio at Jungbunzlauer, emphasizes the company's commitment to quality, innovation, and consumer trust. He states, _“It’s vital that gummies taste great without any compromise on performance. With our pioneering solutions, brands can offer an elevated consumer experience.”_
Jungbunzlauer's dedication to clean-label and sustainable formulation goals is evident, ensuring that the newly launched organic minerals align seamlessly with the broader product portfolio that includes acidulants, sweeteners, and texturants renowned for their high-quality standards. This reinforces Jungbunzlauer’s reputation as a reliable partner in the industry.
