2026-10-13
With rising public health awareness, the candy industry speeds up the research and launch of low-sugar products. Researchers select proper sweet ingredients and optimize ratios to cut added sugar while retaining original candy flavor and solving unpleasant aftertaste caused by sweeteners. Low-sugar versions are launched for multiple categories including gummies, hard candies and lozenges to meet consumer demand for low-sugar snacks. Raw material selection is strictly managed. Professionals evaluate raw material stability and solubility to adapt to different manufacturing techniques such as boiling and gelling. Multiple rounds of sensory tests are conducted during R&D to adjust sour-sweet balance and chewing texture. Low-sugar candy requires stricter production control. Parameters like temperature and solidifying time need precise adjustment to prevent poor forming and shortened shelf life. Market feedback shows the audience of low-sugar candy keeps expanding, including young consumers and sugar-control groups. The industry continues exploring plant-based sweet materials to enrich low-sugar product portfolios and steadily push candy toward healthier development.
