Avebe's PerfectaGEL: From days to hours for vegan gummies

1 Oct 2026

Royal AVebe's Award-winning PerfectaGEL cuts vegan gummy drying from days to as little as 3 hours

Vegan gummies can spend 36 to 72 hours in the drying cabinet before a single batch is ready to pack. Royal Avebe's PerfectaGEL ISET changes that. It sets immediately after depositing, reducing drying time to as little as 3 hours in both starch and rigid moulds. The innovation has just won the Ingredients Innovation category at the World Confectionery Awards 2026.

PerfectaGEL can significantly improve the production process of starch-based gummies:

  • Very fast setting with drying times of as little as 3 hours
  • Faster setting thanks to a unique modification that enables gelling without compromising quality
  • Produce more tasty vegan gummies with improved texture and sustainability
  • Lower energy costs and a more sustainable production process 
  • Works in both starch and rigid moulds, and stays pH-independent for fortified gummies
