Definitions
- THIS INVENTION relates to a high protein gummy composition and method of producing the high protein gummy composition.
- Protein is a nutrient that is essential to healthy body function. Dietary protein is a source of amino acids including the essential amino acids phenylalanine, valine, threonine, tryptophan, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, and histidine which cannot be synthesized by the human body. While most healthy diets include numerous different protein sources ( e.g . meat, dairy products, eggs, legumes, grains etc ) the amount and quality of the protein can vary between these different sources.
- food and dietary supplements have been prepared for human consumption that seek to make up for deficiencies in dietary protein or to provide a particular amino acid content or profile designed for a particular purpose, such as sarcopenia prevention and/or treatment, bodybuilding or weight training.
- many of these protein foods and supplements have an unpleasant, artificial taste or include“hidden” calories, sugar alcohols, fats and/or carbohydrates that detract from the nutritional benefit of these foods and dietary supplements.
- Many dietary protein supplements contain allergens; dairy, soya, egg and nut allergies are becoming increasingly common and the prescribed restrictive diets can be a cause of dietary protein deficiency and a need for a protein supplementation with a product with lower allergenic potential.
- the invention is drawn to a gummy composition that provides an optimal or improved source of protein, while also optionally having a pleasant taste and texture and being visually appealing.
- the gummy composition has a relatively low level of lipids and/or low allergenic potential.
- the invention provides an alternative to, for example, powdered protein supplements, allowing the consumer to fit their protein intake to their individual needs.
- the present invention is therefore broadly directed to a gummy composition, such as gummy bites or pieces, comprising relatively high amounts of protein and relatively low amounts of lipids.
- the invention resides in a gummy composition comprising: protein that optionally includes collagen protein, peptides and/or one or more amino acids or derivatives thereof;
- flavouring agents optionally one or more flavouring agents and/or one or more sweetening agents;
- the total protein content of the gummy composition is at least about 8% by weight, and the total lipid content is less than about 60% by weight.
- the total carbohydrate content of the gummy composition is less than about 70% by weight.
- the total lipid content is less than about 10% by weight of the gummy composition. More particularly, the gummy composition of the present aspect suitably comprises substantially no lipid.

- the gelling agent is, or comprises, gelatine, such as GELITA ® 250 bloom bovine hide gelatine, porcine-derived gelatine and bone-derived gelatine.
- the gummy composition further comprises one or more pH modifiers, including organic acids such as malic acid, citric acid, lactic acid and/or ascorbic acid.
- organic acids such as malic acid, citric acid, lactic acid and/or ascorbic acid.
- the gummy composition further comprises one or more humectants, such as glycerine.
- the gummy composition further comprises one or more colouring agents.
- the gummy composition further comprises one or more vitamins and/or minerals.
- the gummy composition has a specific gravity/density of about 1.2 to 1.6.
- the invention provides a method of producing a gummy composition including the steps of:
- flavouring agents optionally one or more flavouring agents and/or one or more sweetening agents;
- the present method further includes the step of combining one or more humectants, one or more colouring agents, one or more pH modifiers and/or one or more vitamins and/or minerals.
- the present method further includes the step of moulding the gummy composition.
- the gummy composition is according to the first aspect.
- the invention resides in a gummy composition produced according to the method of the second aspect.
- the invention provides a method for providing nutritional supplementation to a subject, including the step of administering to the subject an effective amount of the gummy composition of the first or third aspects.
- indefinite articles“a” and“an” may refer to one entity or a plurality of entities and are not to be read or understood as being limited to a single entity.
- the term“about” refers to a variation or tolerance in a stated amount, concentration, ratio or proportion, preferably defined as being no more than 10%, 5%, 2% or 1% above or below a stated amount, concentration, ratio or proportion.
- the present invention relates to a gummy composition, such as gummy bites or gummy pieces, comprising relatively high amounts of protein and relatively low amounts of lipids.
- An aspect of the invention provides a gummy composition
- a gummy composition comprising: protein that optionally includes collagen protein, peptides and/or one or more amino acids or derivatives thereof;
- flavouring agents optionally one or more flavouring agents and/or one or more sweetening agents;
- the total protein content of the gummy composition is at least about 8% by weight, and the total lipid content is less than about 60% by weight.

- the protein comprises hydrolysed collagen protein, amino acids and/or peptides, or derivatives thereof.
- peptides are proteins having no more than about 70 contiguous amino acids. In the specific context of collagen, this is a structural protein typically present in connective tissue or other tissues located in animal bodies. Collagen may be fibrillar or non-fibrillar and may be classified into types, of which Types I-V are the most common. Collagen peptides may be produced by enzymatic (e.g., collagenase), acid or alkali partial hydrolysis of collagen protein.
- Non-limiting sources of the collagen protein, amino acids and peptides include gelatine and/or collagen hydrolysates.
- gelatine is present at a concentration of about 0.1-30% (e.g., 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30% and any range therein) by weight or particularly at about 5-10% by weight.

- the gelatine is or comprises GELITA ® 250 bloom bovine hide gelatine.
- the gummy composition comprises less than about 5%, less than about 1% or less than about 0.5% gelatine. Accordingly, in certain embodiments, the gummy composition is free or substantially free of gelatine and/or a gelatine hydrolysate (e.g. has no more than about 0.5%, 0.2%, 0.1% or 0.05% gelatine and/or a gelatine hydrolysate by weight of the gummy composition).
- the gummy composition can still contain collagen protein, peptides and/or one or more amino acids or derivatives thereof, such as a collagen hydrolysate, and a gelling agent which does not include gelatine or a gelatine hydrolysate.

- collagen hydrolysates tend to be cold water soluble and range in molecular weight from 2kDa to 12kDa.
- the collagen hydrolysate is a food ingredient that is derived by enzymatic hydrolysis of native animal collagen. It will be appreciated that a collagen hydrolysate can, in particular embodiments, be produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of gelatine. In particular embodiments, however, the collagen hydrolysate is free or substantially free of a gelatine hydrolysate (e.g., has no more than about 0.5%, 0.2%, 0.1% or 0.05% a gelatine hydrolysate by weight thereof) or is substantially not derived or produced from the hydrolysis of gelatine.

- the collagen hydrolysate is produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of a collagen-containing starting material. Endopeptidases or exopeptidases of microbial or plant origin as are known in the art may be used for this hydrolysis. By suitable selection of the peptidases and the hydrolysis conditions, collagen hydrolysates can be produced in the molecular weight range required in each case.
- the collagen-containing starting material is generally derived from, for example the skin or bones of vertebrates, such as mammals, fish or birds, and in particular from the skin or bones of cattle or pigs (e.g., cattle split or pork split).

Description
A GUMMY COMPOSITION
TECHNICAL FIELD
THIS INVENTION relates to a high protein gummy composition and method of producing the high protein gummy composition.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
Protein is a nutrient that is essential to healthy body function. Dietary protein is a source of amino acids including the essential amino acids phenylalanine, valine, threonine, tryptophan, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, and histidine which cannot be synthesized by the human body. While most healthy diets include numerous different protein sources ( e.g . meat, dairy products, eggs, legumes, grains etc ) the amount and quality of the protein can vary between these different sources.
Accordingly, food and dietary supplements have been prepared for human consumption that seek to make up for deficiencies in dietary protein or to provide a particular amino acid content or profile designed for a particular purpose, such as sarcopenia prevention and/or treatment, bodybuilding or weight training. However, many of these protein foods and supplements have an unpleasant, artificial taste or include“hidden” calories, sugar alcohols, fats and/or carbohydrates that detract from the nutritional benefit of these foods and dietary supplements. Many dietary protein supplements contain allergens; dairy, soya, egg and nut allergies are becoming increasingly common and the prescribed restrictive diets can be a cause of dietary protein deficiency and a need for a protein supplementation with a product with lower allergenic potential.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In a broad form, the invention is drawn to a gummy composition that provides an optimal or improved source of protein, while also optionally having a pleasant taste and texture and being visually appealing. In one form, the gummy composition has a relatively low level of lipids and/or low allergenic potential. In particular, the invention provides an alternative to, for example, powdered protein supplements, allowing the consumer to fit their protein intake to their individual needs. The present invention is therefore broadly directed to a gummy composition, such as gummy bites or pieces, comprising relatively high amounts of protein and relatively low amounts of lipids.

In one embodiment, the gummy composition further comprises one or more humectants, such as glycerine.
In certain embodiments, the gummy composition further comprises one or more colouring agents.
In some embodiments, the gummy composition further comprises one or more vitamins and/or minerals.
Suitably, the gummy composition has a specific gravity/density of about 1.2 to 1.6.
In a second aspect, the invention provides a method of producing a gummy composition including the steps of:
(a) combining:
protein that optionally includes collagen protein, peptides and/or amino acids or derivatives thereof;
one or more gelling agents; and
optionally one or more flavouring agents and/or one or more sweetening agents; and

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a gummy composition, such as gummy bites or gummy pieces, comprising relatively high amounts of protein and relatively low amounts of lipids.
An aspect of the invention provides a gummy composition comprising: protein that optionally includes collagen protein, peptides and/or one or more amino acids or derivatives thereof;
one or more gelling agents; and
optionally one or more flavouring agents and/or one or more sweetening agents;
wherein the total protein content of the gummy composition is at least about 8% by weight, and the total lipid content is less than about 60% by weight.
The gummy composition may further comprise one or more humectants and/or one or more colouring agents.
The term“gummy” as used herein is a term of the art and any gummy composition which provides the necessary texture can be used. Gummy products are generally chewable and often classified as candies or lollies. The texture of a gummy is in part a result of the presence of a gelling or gelating agent, such as gelatine, although vegetarian-friendly substitutes as known in the art can be used without impacting on the texture. Particular gummy compositions of the invention include one or more gelling agents selected from gelatine and/or pectin.
The gummy composition of the invention will typically be provided in the form of individual gummy pieces. It is envisaged that these pieces can be moulded into a shape to increase their consumer appeal, e.g. animal shapes, fruit shapes, soda bottles, heart shapes, geometric shapes and company logos, using conventional methods known in the art.
According to one or more embodiments herein, the gummy composition can be used in various applications, such as bodybuilding/fitness supplements, vitamin/mineral formulas, smoothies, fruit juices, and powdered drinks, breakfast cereals and cereal bars, ice creams, yogurts and dairy products.
As generally used herein, the stated concentration, proportion or mass of any particular component or constituent of the gummy composition may be made with reference to the concentration, proportion or mass of the particular component or constituent used to produce the gummy composition, or may be the
concentration, proportion or mass of the particular component or constituent in the final product.
It is also noted that the stated concentrations, proportions or masses of each component or constituent may be readily varied by a person of skill in the art. It will also be appreciated that concentrations, proportions or masses expressed in the range“x-y” include all values and sub-ranges within the stated range.
As used herein the term “ protein” includes any amino acid polymer comprising D- or L-amino acids, natural or non-natural amino acids as are known in the art. Proteins, peptides and/or amino acids may be in the form of extracts, hydrolysates, purified, chemical synthetic, enriched or partially-purified forms.
In some embodiments, proteins may be obtained, derived, obtainable or derivable from natural sources such as plants and/or animals.
Animal sources include vertebrates such as mammals, reptiles, fish, and/or birds and invertebrates such as shellfish, crabs, lobsters and/or insects, although without limitation thereto. Non-limiting examples include whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, hydrolysed whey, casein, milk protein isolate, proteins from egg albumin, beef, lamb, pork, veal, venison, bison, goat, kangaroo, chicken, turkey, duck, emu, rabbit, fish, shellfish, crabs, lobster and/or crocodile, although without limitation thereto. In certain embodiments, the gummy composition is substantially free of milk or dairy-based or derived protein, such as whey and casein (e.g., has no more than about 0.5%, 0.2%, 0.1% or 0.05% milk or dairy-based or derived protein by weight thereof).
Plant sources include trees, vines, plant seeds, bark, roots, leaves, bulbs, tubers, nuts and/or fruit, although without limitation thereto. Plants may include grasses, cereals, legumes, seaweed, leafy vegetables, cruciform vegetables and fungi, although without limitation thereto. Non-limiting examples include soy protein, tofu, tempeh, pea protein, rice protein, bean proteins, corn protein, chickpea, faba bean, mungbean, chia protein, quinoa protein, spirulina protein, hemp seeds, lentils, nut proteins, heat germ protein, sorghum protein and proteins obtained, derived, obtainable or derivable from vegetables and/or fruit such as spinach, watercress, kale, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, mushrooms, parsley, lettuce, zucchini, cucumber, capsicum, artichokes, cabbage, celery, eggplant, tomatoes, onion, beets, squash, pumpkin, potato, yams and/or sweet potato.
In particular embodiments, the protein comprises hydrolysed collagen protein, amino acids and/or peptides, or derivatives thereof.
As used herein,“ peptides” are proteins having no more than about 70 contiguous amino acids. In the specific context of collagen, this is a structural protein typically present in connective tissue or other tissues located in animal bodies. Collagen may be fibrillar or non-fibrillar and may be classified into types, of which Types I-V are the most common. Collagen peptides may be produced by enzymatic (e.g., collagenase), acid or alkali partial hydrolysis of collagen protein.
Non-limiting sources of the collagen protein, amino acids and peptides, include gelatine and/or collagen hydrolysates.
Suitably, gelatine is present at a concentration of about 0.1-30% (e.g., 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30% and any range therein) by weight or particularly at about 5-10% by weight. Suitably, the gelatine is produced or derived from beef skin, such as by alkaline and/or acid treatment of collagen in the beef skin. In other embodiments, the gelatine is or comprises porcine-derived and/or bone-derived gelatine. An exemplary gelatine bloom value is about 125-300 (e.g., 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 150, 155, 160, 165, 170, 175, 180, 185, 190, 195, 200, 205, 210, 215, 220, 225, 230, 235, 240, 245, 250, 255, 260, 265, 270, 275, 280, 285, 290, 295, 300 or any range therein) or more particularly about 225-280, and even more particularly, about 250.
In one particular embodiment, the gelatine is or comprises GELITA® 250 bloom bovine hide gelatine.
In some embodiments, the gummy composition comprises less than about 5%, less than about 1% or less than about 0.5% gelatine. Accordingly, in certain embodiments, the gummy composition is free or substantially free of gelatine and/or a gelatine hydrolysate (e.g. has no more than about 0.5%, 0.2%, 0.1% or 0.05% gelatine and/or a gelatine hydrolysate by weight of the gummy composition). In this regard, the skilled person will appreciate that the gummy composition can still contain collagen protein, peptides and/or one or more amino acids or derivatives thereof, such as a collagen hydrolysate, and a gelling agent which does not include gelatine or a gelatine hydrolysate.
According to particular embodiments of the invention, the protein fraction of the gummy composition comprises a collagen hydrolysate with or without gelatine.
In contrast to gelatine, which is also a hydrolysis product of collagen, the term“ collagen hydrolysate” refers to a collagen-derived product, such as native animal collagen, hydrolysed to an extent such that it no longer gels under the conditions of the standard Bloom test (i.e., has a Bloom strength of zero g). Unlike gelatine which is hot water soluble and has an average molecular weight of 180kDa, collagen hydrolysates tend to be cold water soluble and range in molecular weight from 2kDa to 12kDa.
In some embodiments, the collagen hydrolysate is a food ingredient that is derived by enzymatic hydrolysis of native animal collagen. It will be appreciated that a collagen hydrolysate can, in particular embodiments, be produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of gelatine. In particular embodiments, however, the collagen hydrolysate is free or substantially free of a gelatine hydrolysate (e.g., has no more than about 0.5%, 0.2%, 0.1% or 0.05% a gelatine hydrolysate by weight thereof) or is substantially not derived or produced from the hydrolysis of gelatine.
Suitably, collagen hydrolysate is present at a concentration of about 10-60% (e.g. 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%,
16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%,
30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%,
44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%,
58%, 59%, 60% and any range therein) by weight or particularly about 35-50% by weight of the gummy composition.
In particular embodiments, the collagen hydrolysate has an average molecular weight of about 500 to about 10000 Da (e.g., 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2400, 2500, 2600, 2700, 2800, 2900, 3000, 3100, 3200, 3300, 3400, 3500, 3600, 3700, 3800, 3900, 4000, 4100, 4200, 4300, 4400, 4500, 4600, 4700, 4800, 4900, 5000, 5500, 6000, 6500, 7000, 7500, 8000, 8500, 9000, 9500, 10000 Da and any range therein), and more particularly about 2,000 to 4,000 Da. In the context of the present description, all information relates to the weight- average molecular weight of the collagen hydrolysate. This can be determined in particular by means of gel permeation chromatography using calibrated standard peptides. Suitably, the
collagen hydrolysate is produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of a collagen-containing starting material. Endopeptidases or exopeptidases of microbial or plant origin as are known in the art may be used for this hydrolysis. By suitable selection of the peptidases and the hydrolysis conditions, collagen hydrolysates can be produced in the molecular weight range required in each case.
The collagen-containing starting material is generally derived from, for example the skin or bones of vertebrates, such as mammals, fish or birds, and in particular from the skin or bones of cattle or pigs (e.g., cattle split or pork split).
An exemplary collagen hydrolysate is GELITA® BodyBalance™ bioactive collagen peptide. This collagen hydrolysate is derived from a complex multi-step procedure by the degradation of type I collagen and can be defined by numerous specific collagen peptides with an average molecular weight of 3.5 kDa. GELITA® BodyBalance™ can also be defined by a specific matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry mass peaks fingerprint and a specific amino acid profile, as per the below table.
In another embodiment, the collagen hydrolysate is not or is not comprised of GELITA® Verisol™ bioactive collagen peptide. GELITA® Verisol™ bioactive collagen peptide can be defined by a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry mass peaks fingerprint with specific collagen peptides of an average molecular weight of 2.0 kD that are optimized for skin health.
In particular embodiments, the gummy composition further comprises a further amino acid. To this end, the further amino acid can be any known in the art, inclusive of essential and non-essential amino acids, as well as derivatives or variants thereof, such as amino acid salts. Nonlimiting examples include leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, glutamine, threonine, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan, histidine, taurine, arginine, serine, proline, glycine, alanine, ornithine, citrulline, urocanic acid, asparagine and tyrosine. In particular embodiments, the further amino acid is selected from the group of leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, glutamine, threonine, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan, histidine, taurine, and any combination thereof.
With respect to the recited protein content of the gummy composition, it will be appreciated that the further amino acid content will be taken into consideration together with the recited protein when calculating the protein content by weight of the gummy composition.
The gummy composition may include one or more further amino acids in addition to the protein, such as those hereinbefore described, in a wt% concentration of about 0.1% to about 50% or any range therein such as, but not limited to, about 1% to about 35% or about 2% to about 20%.

The gelling agent(s) may be or comprise any substance capable of creating a substantially homogeneous glutinous, thickened, semi-solid, jelly-like or gummy- like state. Suitably, the gelling agent is a hydrocolloid. Non-limiting examples of gelling agents include starch, modified starch, agar, xanthan, galactomannans like guar gum and locust bean gum (LBG), gum Arabic or acacia gum, gellan gum, gum karaya, gum tragacanth, alginate, pectin, carrageenan and carboxymethyl cellulose
(CMC). The thickening effect produced by gelling agents such as hydrocolloids depends on the type of hydrocolloid used, its concentration, the food system in which it is used and also the pH of the food system and temperature.
Suitably, the gelling agent is, or comprises, gelatine, such as that hereinbefore described. In one particular embodiment, the gelatine is or comprises GELITA® 250 bloom bovine hide gelatine.
Typically, the gelling agent, such as gelatine, or combination of gelling agents is present at a concentration of about 0.1-30% (e.g., 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30% and any range therein) by weight, or more particularly about 0.3-10% by weight of the gummy composition. It will be appreciated that the level of gelling agent suitably results in a gummy composition that is compressible.
The flavouring agents may be any natural or non-natural substance which adds or enhances flavour. The flavouring agents may also comprise natural or non natural stabilizers, anti-caking and/or flow agents. Flavouring agents are typically comprised of a flavoured substance(s) and complexes manufactured or extracted from nature in liquid or powdered form to impart a particular flavour into a product.

43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%,
57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70% and any range therein) by weight, more particularly about 15-50% by weight or more particularly about 25-45% by weight of the gummy composition.
Additional ingredients that may be present in the gummy composition include flavoured particles, fruit pieces or powders, fruit juices or liquids, coconut, nuts, seeds, cacao nibs, coffee nibs, chocolate nibs or drops, and/or a gel or sauce swirl such as chocolate or caramel, although without limitation thereto.
In some embodiments, the gummy composition may be coated, such as with a chocolate, a sour layer (e.g., sour sanding, sour sugar) or other coating. In embodiments where the protein food bar comprises a chocolate coating, the coating process would be as typically used or applied in the art.
Suitably, the gummy composition further comprises one or more pH modifiers. The pH modifiers may be any agent, substance or molecule that facilitates obtaining and/or maintaining an optimal pH for the gummy composition. The pH modifier may be a buffering agent, acid or base that facilitates achieving an acidic pH, an alkaline pH or neutral pH (i.e., about pH 7). Typically, the pH modifier is an acid, such as an organic acid. Organic acids may be any food grade acid, such as a carboxylic acid, that is suitable for human consumption and includes salts of said organic acids. Non-limiting examples include tartaric acid, citric acid, lactic acid, benzoic acid, acetic acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, oxalic acid and their salts (e.g., tartrates, citrates, lactates etc). In certain embodiments, the organic acids are citric acid, malic acid and/or ascorbic acid. In view of this, it will be appreciated that the one or more pH modifiers may be included in the gummy composition as part of a fruit juice, or concentrate or extract thereof, such as those hereinbefore described.
Suitably, the pH modifiers are present at a concentration of about 0.1-5% (e.g., 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5% and any range therein) by weight in total, or more particularly about 2-3% by weight in total. In various embodiments, citric acid is present at about up to 3.0% by weight of the gummy composition.
In particular embodiments, the gummy composition has a specific gravity or density of about 1.1-1.7 (e.g., 1.10, 1.15, 1.20, 1.25, 1.30, 1.35, 1.40, 1.45, 1.50, 1.55, 1.60, 1.65, 1.70 and any range therein) or in certain embodiments about 1.3 - 1.45. In alternative embodiments, such as those in which the gummy composition has been aerated, the gummy composition has a specific gravity or density of about 0.4 - 0.8 (e.g., 0.40, 0.45, 0.50, 0.55, 0.60, 0.65, 0.70, 0.75, 0.80 or any range therein) or suitably about 0.5-0.7.
Typically, the gummy composition is non-aerated or de-aerated with no visible bubbles in the food mass. Additionally, the appearance of the gummy composition is suitably of a transparent or semi-transparent nature. In this regard, it has been determined by the present inventors that the use of a collagen-based protein, such as a collagen hydrolysate, advantageously facilitates the production of at least a semi-transparent (i.e., reduced turbidity and improved clarity), and hence more aesthetically pleasing, gummy composition compared with, for example, the use of whey protein.
In other embodiments, the gummy composition is aerated so as to form a “marshmallow” style gummy composition. For such embodiments, the appearance of the gummy composition is typically of an opaque nature. The marshmallow-style bite or piece, typically comprises an aerated mass with uniform air bubbles throughout. Suitably, the appearance of such a gummy composition is an off white or pastel/lightly coloured (depending on flavour of the bar), and texture is similar to a short-textured marshmallow, highly elastic and has a clean bite with little or no “stickiness”.
The gummy composition suitably has a water content of about 5-40% (5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40% and any range therein) by weight in total, or more particularly about 10-25% by weight in total.
