Suitable for sensitive and incompatible ingredients
The cold and dry compression manufacturing process limits the degradation of sensitive ingredients, such as vitamins and probiotics. Available in single or multiple layers, you can separate active and functional ingredients for both a fast and sustained release.
You can meet a range of consumer preferences by customising the gum’s size, taste, and texture. You can also add visual effects that support the product concept, such as colours, embossment or speckles. Our compressed gum can be combined with a crunchy flavoured layer and our patented Zapliq® liquefiable tablet to further customise release, mouthfeel, and flavour.
A popular format with a range of applications
Chewing gum is a well-known, socially accepted, portable and discrete format, providing a stimulating experience enjoyed by many. This makes it a suitable delivery system for a range of active and functional ingredients absorbed buccally via the oral mucosa. Chewing gum also delivers inherent health benefits, including freshening breath, increasing focus and concentration, relieving stress and aiding in weight management.
The compression process provides a good texture, while Fertin’s taste-masking capabilities and confectionery experience ensure a pleasant taste and mouthfeel, even after chewing for 20 minutes. We have patents for both the manufacturing process and the gum base, which we make in-house, for a cost-effective and competitive end product.
