Veganism is on the rise globally, but is particularly pronounced in industrialized nations, according to Wacker’s Verena Klaus. At Fi Europe, Wacker presented some of its plant-based solutions that work synergistically to emulate the complex function of an egg. Also in the vegan space, Wacker’s alpha-dextrin branded as Cavamax W6 can offer health benefits when combined correctly with starch. 

Wacker has developed a new compound to deposit chewing gum which offers a pioneering creative freedom to produce the sugar-free confectionery in an unprecedented variety of shapes, something which the company tips to be a game-changer. CAPIVA C 03, a premix, will allow manufacturers to deposit chewing gum into a variety of different molds. A copolymer-resin containing a composition that opens up the door to entirely new shapes.

Wacker’s CAVAMAX W6 alphadextrin as a vegetarian-grade emulsifier-substitute for innovative egg-free baked goods. CAVAMAX W6 stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions effectively, thus making it possible to prepare a wide range of vegetarian baked goods – from cakes and waffles to pancakes – that do not need the addition of egg or egg powder. The purely vegetarian-grade sugar molecules are low in calories, contain no cholesterol or fat, are non-allergenic and are made entirely from renewable raw materials. 

With WACKER’s innovative CANDY2GUM technology, it is now possible to produce confectionery with a completely new mouthfeel: what begins as a piece of chewy candy turns into chewing gum after a short time. Since this innovative product is made in a boiling process, manufacturers can now add water based, fat containing and natural ingredients, such as fruit juice, cocoa and coffee. Using this particular gum base does not affect the shelf life of the chewy candy.
