“…Similar results were also presented by Cedeño-Pinos et al [ 62 ] with the addition of β-fructan fibers (e.g., chicory inulin and fructooligosaccharides) into the GC formulations as alternative ingredients to starches and sugars. In another study, Fernandes et al [ 63 ] reported that the waist circumference and hunger/appetite of forty-two overweight individuals decreased after the consumption of KGM-enriched GCs for fourteen days. These results indicate that the incorporation of KGM into the GC manufacturing process can significantly prevent the development of cardiovascular diseases in overweight and obese individuals.…”

Nowadays, consumers are aware of the necessity of following a healthy diet and there is demand for natural and nutritious food products, especially for children. Consequently, new trends in the food industry are focused on the development of foods with low levels of sucrose and artificial additives (e.g., flavors and colorants), as well as high antioxidant, protein, and fiber content. On the other hand, some consumers demand vegan, halal, and kosher-certified food products. In this regard, conventional confectionary products such as gummy candies (GCs) are increasingly losing their popularity. Therefore, the development of plant-based and functional GCs has gained the attention of researchers and manufacturers. This review highlights recent innovations in the development of GCs with alternative gelling agents and sweeteners, natural flavors and colorants, and the incorporation of medicines, fiber, protein and antioxidants into GCs. Additionally, it summarizes their effects on the techno-functional, sensory, and nutritional properties of GCs.

Gummy formulations are defined as gradually or slowly released solid oral dosage forms. Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia and autism-related irritability. This study presents the development of visually appealing, patient-tailored medicated gummies that act as a novel pharmaceutical form of Risperidone for pediatrics. In this study, two gummy bases were used, one containing Glucomannan and the other containing Gelatin as a gelling agent, where these gummy bases were loaded with coated Risperidone pellets with a controlled release layer. The final products were evaluated for their pH, viscosity, content uniformity, drug content, and dissolution profile. Both formulas showed proper rheology and met content and weight uniformity standards. The release rates for F1 and F2 in the acidic media were 25% and 11%, respectively, after 2 h. At the same time, a full-release profile for Risperidone was noticed in both formulae at pH 6.8 where the release lasts for 24 h. It can be concluded that the chewable semi-solid dosages (gummies) filled with coated pellets are suitable for pediatric patients since pediatrics have drug-related problems which can be solved using high gastro-resistance coated pellets, which also shows a proper release profile for the drug.
