Haribo Sour Rainbow Strips 150g

From the Manufacturer HARIBO jellies The Ingredients HARIBO makes high demands with regard to the quality of basic ingredients used in their products. Only absolutely perfect raw materials are used in HARIBO products. Jelly products are made from a mixture of glucose syrup (makes them transparent) sugar and dextrose (for sweetness) and gelatine (for the "chew"). Added to this mixture are fruit and plant extracts flavours starches and a little citric acid. Gelatine the alternative to Gummi arabicum Since the eighties HARIBO have generally been using gelatine in place of the Gummi arabicum which had been used most frequently as a basic ingredient until this time. Gelatine contains neither fats nor carbohydrates.Starch Some jelly products are also made with starch (e.g. Funny Mix or Jelly Beans) which means that these products can be enjoyed by vegetarians.ColoursSince the end of the eighties HARIBO products have obtained their colourful appearance as a result of the use of fruit and plant extract concentrates. Mixtures containing fruit preparations such as blackcurrants oranges lemons elderberries red currants aronia grape spinach nettle passion fruit mango carrots kiwi and apple produce the necessary colours. HARIBO Double deposited HARIBO double deposited products are made up of a foam and jelly combination like the famous fried eggs from Starmix.Jellies - from the initial drawing to the finished product At the start of every HARIBO jelly there is a creative idea from a product designer. And this is initially all hand made. Every innovation in the HARIBO product range is first put onto paper by hand in the form of a sketch.Computers and millingThe hand drawing is then scanned into a computer and converted into a precise three-dimensional sample drawing. The data of this sample drawing is sent to a high-tech milling machine which mills the new jelly shape into a plaster mould. This prototype is then used to create a reusable mould for production that can be used to create as many plaster stamps as necessary. Powder boxes and plaster stamps Flat boxes filled to the brim with a fine smoothly levelled starch powder are transported along a conveyor belt and stamped by hundreds of plaster stamps that come down from above. The impressions made by the stamps leave holes in the starch powder. These boxes continue along the conveyor belt to the next stage of production where nozzles inject a hot liquid jelly mixture into the holes taking just a fraction of a second. Before you know it several hundred jellies have been created. The finishing touches After a relatively long drying process in drying rooms the jellies receive a coating of beeswax and carnauba wax to give them a nice sheen and prevent them from sticking together. Now the jellies are ready to be weighed automatically by the packaging machine and packed into bags. They are then sent out to customers around the world.
