Develop a production-ready gummy formula tailored to your brand, ingredients, flavor goals, texture, and manufacturing requirements.
This custom formulation service is designed for brands that need more than a generic recipe. You will work with a food scientist and gummy formulation specialist to develop a formula that can be tested, scaled, documented, and transferred into commercial production.
What This Service Includes
- One custom gummy formula developed to your specifications
- Up to three formulation revisions focused on flavor, color, texture, and performance
- Three sets of samples per formula for evaluation
- A scalable formulation spreadsheet with automatic batch-weight calculations
- Standard operating procedures for production
- Ingredient and equipment sourcing guidance with supplier information
- Video or phone consultation and training
- Manufacturer consultation to support commercialization and troubleshooting
Formulation Process
The development process begins with your product goals, ingredient requirements, active ingredients, sweetener system, dietary positioning, flavor profile, texture target, and manufacturing method.
- Create a neutral base around the required active ingredients
- Evaluate bitterness, mineral notes, and other formulation challenges
- Use appropriate flavoring and masking strategies
- Adjust flavor, acid balance, sweetness, color, and texture
- Refine the formula through testing and client feedback
- Prepare the final formula for scaling and production transfer
Quality and Production Review
During development, samples may be reviewed for factors such as pH, Brix, flavor, aroma, texture, and overall product performance. Microbiology, analytical testing, and formal shelf-life studies are completed by third-party laboratories when required and are billed separately.
Commercialization Support
The final package is designed to help move the formula from development into manufacturing. This includes scaling instructions, production documentation, sourcing support, and consultation with your manufacturer when needed.
On-site consultation and in-person manufacturer training are available at an additional cost.
Who This Is For
- Supplement and nutraceutical brands
- Candy and confectionery companies
- Startups preparing for commercial production
- Manufacturers developing a new gummy product
- Brands that need a distinctive formula rather than a generic base recipe
Before Ordering
This service covers one custom formula with up to three revisions. The scope is intended for formulation changes such as flavor, color, texture, and related performance adjustments. Major changes to the product concept, active system, manufacturing method, or ingredient platform may require a revised scope.
Third-party laboratory fees, shelf-stability studies, specialized analytical testing, travel, and on-site training are not included in the base service price.
