Gelatin technology would eliminate need for starch-based gummy production.
Darling Ingredients’ health brand, Rousselot, a business in collagen-based solutions, has announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has received U.S. Patent No. 11,490,634, securing Rousselot’s intellectual property for SiMoGel, a gelatin technology that eliminates the need for starch-based gummy production.
SiMoGel allows for the production of nutraceutical gummies using silicon or metal molds, which are easily cleanable and eliminate dust during production, unlike traditional starch trays. SiMoGel also significantly reduces setting time to less than 30 minutes, compared to 24 hours for conventional starch-based production.
