Hard boiled candies are the most common medicated confectionery products. As the public is becoming more educated about the risks of tooth decay, sugar-free formulations of hard-boiled candies are becoming more and more popular. Growth in sugar-free confectionery is a trend that has crossed from traditional confectionery into medicated confectionery, driven by a market that focuses on dental benefits and suitability for diabetics. 

Polyols are ideal substitutes for sugar and glucose syrup as they cannot be metabolized by the Streptococci in the mouth. Today, isomalt is the most popular polyol used for sugar-free medicated hard candies. Using isomalt guarantees low hygroscopicity, non-stickiness and slow re-crystallization of hard candies. 

We manufacture isomalt and many other products tailored to different requirements in medicated hard candies. We have a history of pharma innovation and can call upon truly global knowledge and reach to ensure we are providing the most appropriate local solution, wherever our customers are.
