The only powerful solution for starch-free depositing confectionery
Traditional confectionery production, especially when it comes to jelly, has always relied heavily on starch moguls. With Rousselot SiMoGel™, the traditional molding starch is replaced by silicone or metal molds or even blister packs. This new solution offers confectionery manufacturers exciting benefits, including the opportunity to create new delivery formats, such as center-filled ‘gummy caps’. SiMoGel has been successfully validated on Baker Perkins equipment.

Rousselot’s ‘gummy caps’, powered by SiMoGel
In 2023, Rousselot launched a new delivery format for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical ingredients, enabling manufacturers to tap into the growing popularity of chews and gummies: the gummy caps.
